Beaker: Linux doesn't support import both files & folders at the same time

[alexandre1985]

Operation System:
Manjaro Deepin (Linux x64)
Beaker Version:
0.7.5

When I click to create a new website I can't seem to import files.
It opens a dialog to import a file but all files are greyed out and I can't select them.

[pfrazee]

That's no good. I'll spin up my linux box soon and see if I can replicate the issue.

Sorry for the trouble.

[alexandre1985]

That's ok.
The interface is slightly different from the video.
It doesn't have the "add Files" or "open folder" links. I can only import files through the dropdown button.
I also haven't figured out a way to change the title, it remains "Untitled".
I also have deleted a website project, then closed beaker them open it and the deleted project appears on the left panel.
If you want to install my distro here it is the Manjaro Deepin downloads

FYI If you're on the master branch, you may be getting some half-finished work that we're doing.

[alexandre1985]

so what git commands should I execute to get a stable release?
Thanks

[pfrazee]

Sorry, try this:

git checkout tags/0.7.5
rm package-lock.json # to battle npm's nonsense
rm app/package-lock.json
npm run burnthemall
npm start

[pfrazee]

(Not sure that'll solve your problem though)

[alexandre1985]

Now its better.
Everything is resolved except selecting the files which are still greyed out.
Here is a screenshot of what I get:

Great, I'm sure that's just a misconfigured param. I'll jump into my linux box soon.

[pfrazee]

Turns out, Linux and Windows aren't able to import files and folders at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. Very weak.

@alexandre1985 if you can wait for the next release, I'll put some time into a solution for this that deals with the folders/files situation.

[alexandre1985]

That's ok, I'll wait

[pfrazee]

Thanks Daniel, sorry about the wait.

This issue bit me today when I pulled master and rebuilt to update Beaker. Rolling back to 0.7.5 as you suggested seemed to fix it. Just thought I'd chime in.
Arch Linux x64

[dwblair]

Also bitten on Ubuntu 16.10 :) Wasn't able to import folders or files: individual files are greyed out; folders allow import, but nothing happens. But I also rolled back to 0.7.5, which is workable -- can import folders (but not individual files) ...

Cheers!

i also reproduced @dwblair's claim on my xubu vm tonight. looks like onImportFiles expects archiveInfo, but is not passed one. therefore, cannot read property 'url' of undefined is yielded on L643. im not sure what the convention is in this codebase yet for binding that missing var.

ya, it's a real bummer. i see this documented in the electron docs too. it's almost as though we need two seperate buttons--import files, import folders. i'm not optimistic about other meaningful UX hacks that would meet the need.

We might need to consider a custom built file-picker modal

I have the same issue both on master branch 91781b and on stable release. I can't select files and directory import does not work. I'm on Arch Linux.

[pfrazee]

On the stable release you should be able to select files, I think.

I'm 99% sure we'll have to solve this with a custom files browser modal on
linux.

Unfortunately files are greyed out.

Sorry, I was wrong, 0.7.5 works pretty well with change folder

[sternj]

For everyone building from source on Linux-- removing the 'openDirectory' option from the line containing "showOpenDialog" in either beaker/app/builtin-pages/views/library.js or beaker/app/builtin-pages/com/files-list.js (depending on what branch you're in) and then rebuilding can provide a temporary fix to this issue.

[pfrazee]

Version 0.7.8 will have an "Add folder" btn that's separate from "Add file", if you're on linux
