concat_osx.sh is hanging . . . maybe about ttygif HOT 34 CLOSED

Here's a clip of the output. There's also that rm: missing operand thing . . . which, looking at the script itself, seems like it has to be that $pngs is empty, but I don't see how that could be.

Edit: Oh . . . surprisingly, when I open up concat_osx.sh, that last line says rm $gifs, even the github code says rm $pngs, and $gifs is nothing . . . not used anywhere else, so that must be . . . maybe not the problem, but a problem at least.

Edit Again: Just copied in the github version and it still seems to be hanging. Although this time, surprisingly, when I ran it, and then did ps -ef | grep concat, I did not see the script like I had previously.

How long is the recording?

from ttygif.

Maybe 10 to 15 seconds. I realize that's pretty long for gif. That's why I wondered how long it normally took.

from ttygif.

That's not long at all. It should work fine. I'll check it out tomorrow.

from ttygif.

Are the screencaptures being created in the directory?

from ttygif.

Yes, a huge list of them.

from ttygif.

I don't have OSX to test on, so can you echo the $pngs variable after this line and make sure it's not empty?

from ttygif.

Yeah, I actually tried that last night, and it worked. They were there.

from ttygif.

echo this line before it gets evaluated.

from ttygif.

Ok, I'm gonna have to rerun the ttyrec and ttygif steps. The last time I ran it I used the code here on github, so it did successfully blow away my pngs when I ctrl-c'd (but still didn't finish the gif).

from ttygif.

Should I be using the version from github or the version that I got when I ran brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icholy/ttygif/master/ttygif.rb?

from ttygif.

Try the one on github.

from ttygif.

Ok, running the setup stuff now.

from ttygif.

Hold up. Do you have convert aliased to something maybe? run which convert and convert --version

from ttygif.

No, I don't have it aliased.

$ which convert
/usr/local/bin/convert

from ttygif.

Can you try running that command as-is and then with just a few of the screenshots?

from ttygif.

Yeah, I made a smaller demo to see if I could get it to work.

from ttygif.

Here's a smaller one:

convert -loop 0  -delay 54.0 ./00001_3.png -delay 51.0 ./00002_540.png -delay 6.3 ./00003_510.png -delay 7.9 ./00004_63.png -delay 6.4 ./00005_79.png -delay 13.5 ./00006_64.png -delay 7.2 ./00007_135.png -delay 8.8 ./00008_72.png -delay 8.7 ./00009_88.png -delay 3.2 ./00010_87.png -delay 10.3 ./00011_32.png -delay 12.8 ./00012_103.png -delay 7.2 ./00013_128.png -delay 19.9 ./00014_72.png -delay 23.2 ./00015_199.png -delay .2 ./00016_232.png -delay 29.3 ./00017_2.png -delay 22.4 ./00018_293.png ./00019_224.png -layers Optimize output.gif

from ttygif.

And that worked (I mean using "concat_osx", not the command directly). So . . . maybe it's just really slow? Or is there a limit to the number of files?

from ttygif.

So how long was the recording in the longer video and how many images did it result in?

from ttygif.

I don't know exactly how long. I think I said 10 to 15 originally. Maybe it was longer than that, but not a lot longer than that. I was intentionally trying to keep it short. It did create a lot of images though, as you can see in that command above. It took 4 screen grabs to copy them all (but then I ended up truncating them because it seemed ridiculous to paste that much in).

from ttygif.

Can I have the ttyrec recording file?

from ttygif.

The longer one or the short one?

from ttygif.

The one that doesn't work.

from ttygif.

How can I get it to you? Github only allows images.

from ttygif.

Send it to my email: [email protected]

from ttygif.

Sent.

from ttygif.

@tandrewnichols I never got it.

from ttygif.

Junk mail? I definitely sent it, and I just double checked the address.

from ttygif.

Ok got it. Basically the recording has too many frames which results in too many images for convert to handle. Try the skip_fix branch I just created.

from ttygif.

Ok. Might not get to it right away. We just had a baby.

from ttygif.

No rush. and congrats! 🎉 ㊗️

from ttygif.

Sorry, I had forgotten about this. I will try to do this soonish.

from ttygif.

Hey @icholy, sorry for the delay. I never came back to this because I haven't needed a screen gif in a while, but I tried it this morning using the skip_fix branch, and it worked fine. Thanks!
