I assume you record a Gnumeric session?
JB - Actually, gnumeric was not available. I used oocalc which is an
OpenOffice application.
JB - I also tried xcalc. Both failed with the synchronization failure
message above.
JB - Might the events to record vary based on the application? I tried
recording all events JB - but the amount of data became too large.
Read this?
http://itupw056.itu.chalmers.se/xnee/doc/xnee.html#SEC106
JB - Yes, I did read it. This section came across to me as more of a
high level description
JB - not so much how to synchronize or what the cause might be of the
sync error I received.
OK.
You probably record the "wrong" events. Erh, how did that sound?
Since X11 is asynchronous (no way to make sure that events gets send in
the right order when replaying as when recording) we can rather easy get
into a situation where we get a bunch of X events in advance and miss a
couple of Y events (they will come later) when replaying. Xnee manages
this by thresholds, but my experience is that setting them too high will
lead to "more or less unsynced" behavior of your app. So I would go for
investigating what events gets sent when you test.
But let's get down to your problem.
I tested oocalc a bit and noticed two things:
1) Xnee seems to be doing sth wrong when reading settings from command
line and from recorded file :(
Q&D solution: remove the three lines in your recorded session file
that sets the thresholds
2) Try synching with event 15 (VisibilityNotify)
Record:
-------
./cnee/src/cnee --record --mouse --keyboard \
--delivered-event-range 15 -o hesa.xns -sk p
Note: recording stops when you press the key p
Replay
-------
replay with thresholds set high (and one TOO high):
./cnee/src/cnee --replay -f hesa.xns --verbose -bv \
-mat 100 -mit -100 -tot 400
Note: -bv comes from a Xnee built with buffer verbose supprt.
use it at will, but you need to enable
"buffer verbose" during configure
NOTE: I am looking deep into the sync code at the moment!!!!
