279811 - l10n LXR search is broken

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Chase Phillips]

We have received reports that the LXR search function for the l10n repository is
reportedly broken.  Needs investigation and a potential fix.

Comment 1

[Chase Phillips]

Verified brokenness.

Comment 2

[Chase Phillips]

I've fixed at least the "Text Search" field.

As for the "Identifier Search" field, I'm not sure there are any identifiers
that would be searchable in the /l10n repository.  Can someone confirm that this
is either working, not working, or not testable at this time?

Comment 3

[Chase Phillips]

The "Identifier Search" function is provided by the ident program.  From the
ident source code:

%ty = (('M', 'preprocessor macro'),
       ('V', 'variable'),
       ('f', 'function prototype'),
       ('F', 'function'),
       ('C', 'class'),                  # C++
       ('c', '(forwarded) class'),      # C++
       ('T', 'type'),
       ('S', 'struct type'),
       ('E', 'enum type'),
       ('U', 'union type'));

I don't think there is anything in the l10n aviary branch that would contain any
tokens of the above types.  (As in there are no C, C++, Java files, &c.)

works for me.
could we get the page encoding set to utf-8? As the majority of our l10n files
should be compatible with that. (My search results looked odd in ISO.)

Mass reassign of open bugs for [e-mail] to [e-mail].

encoding is bug 281362, let's just close this one.
