started in photo mode M and switched to Movie when asked.

[saulbass]

ooops - forgot 650D.104 - magiclantern-lua_fix.2018Mar31.650D104

[saulbass]

ok - so am incrementally re-running the api_test.lua - uncommenting the commented out tests - working backwards from test_movie.
I've pasted the script segment at the top of each code segment - so its script segment then lua.log -
all on 650D.104 - with magiclantern-lua_fix.2018Mar31.650D104 18.55kit lens
each time battery out / reset settings /fresh install onto card/
Cam set to Photo M each time and switching to AV / Movie as requested.

in summary seems to work until I get to test_keys(). see log 4.

Oh the only other strangeness is that the edited script never gives a Done! in the output, even with just test_movie - which records one movie clip. TBH I'm not really sure what I'm doing here --- just trying to find out why the api_test.lua - fails to run all the scripts.

log 1 -     test_camera_exposure() &  test_movie() nb (test_movie() is same)

[dfort]

Nice find. So if you comment out only test_keys() will it complete the tests? Not printing "Done!" at the end of the log might also be pointing out an issue.

[saulbass]

before I try that - retried with just the movie test.
At end I have a short 2 sec movie in the usual folder - so can confirm that a movie is shot.

this is the final screen after recording - camera still operational.

ML/SCRIPTS/api_test.lua:1364: in main chunk [api_test.lua] script finished.

nb. line 1364 is the last line of the script.

all on 650D.104 - with magiclantern-lua_fix.2018Mar31.650D104 18.55kit lens
each time battery out / reset settings /fresh install onto card/
Cam set to Photo M each time and switching to AV / Movie as requested.

[saulbass]

so, if I only uncomment test_camera_exposure() (so nothing else is run) and repeat the test, I get a Done! at the end - which is not what happens when I use the test_movie() test.

[saulbass]

@dfort - this time I commented out only the test_keys() - everything else run

and manage to get to the end with the movie_test() - still no Done! though....

I should mention that there are a lot of messages that flash by during test including cant find xxxx.jpg - its in the log.

Now we're getting somewhere -- so the issue is with the half-shutter press?

Code Select Expand

function test_keys()
    printf("Testing half-shutter...\n")
    for i = 1,10 do
        -- open Canon menu
        camera.gui.menu = true
        sleep(1)
        assert(camera.gui.menu == true)
        assert(camera.gui.idle == false)
        key.press(KEY.HALFSHUTTER)
        sleep(0.2)
        assert(key.last == KEY.HALFSHUTTER)
        sleep(1)
        -- half-shutter should close Canon menu
        assert(camera.gui.menu == false)
        assert(camera.gui.idle == true)
        key.press(KEY.UNPRESS_HALFSHUTTER)
        sleep(0.2)
        assert(key.last == KEY.UNPRESS_HALFSHUTTER)
    end
    printf("Half-shutter test OK.\n")
   
    -- todo: test other key codes? press/unpress events?
    printf("\n")
end


Checked out the button codes in consts.h and gui.h but nothing jumps out at me. They seem to be the same as the 700D which is working fine.

Sometimes printing "Done!" and sometimes not might be pointing to another problem but I'm not sure.

[saulbass]

@dfort -

so the issue is with the half-shutter press?

hmm I'm no expert but I doubt this.

the terms - key.press(KEY.HALFSHUTTER) & key.press(KEY.UNPRESS_HALFSHUTTER)
also appear in lines 241 245 so I dont think that these are problems in themselves.

Also just running test_keys() runs fine - I even get a Done! at the end...

tried this combination:

test_key() then test_movie()
seems fine - gets to the end of the movie test loop - prints out     
printf("Movie recording tests completed.\n")
so must get to line 1330

okay final test for today - just testing   

test_keys()
then
test_lv()

seems fine.

[dfort]

Thanks for the testing. Note that it is more helpful to post what is in the logs rather than the lua code. 

[dfort]

I'm a bit confused. Looking over the recent posts it looks like the 650D.104 is completing all of the lua tests as long as we only run one or a few at a time but it can't get through all of the tests in a single run. I assume that this is the same with 650D.105 though this still needs to be confirmed.

Some of the reasons I've been doing these firmware updates are spelled out in my tutorial: Porting a Canon firmware update but another reason has emerged--making sure cameras are able to run through all the tests. We aren't done here yet.

Not convinced any movie test got completed. No message in log after entering movie section.

[dfort]

This is all I get on the 700D:

Code Select Expand

Testing movie recording...
Please switch to Movie mode.
Movie recording tests completed.

Done!

Seems that sometimes the "Done!" doesn't get into the log but I'd like to know if it is being printed on the console.

[Walter Schulz]

I got nothing logged beyond

Code Select Expand

Please switch to Movie mode.

Ok--the test is fairly well commented and attempts to trap various errors:

Code Select Expand

function test_movie()
    printf("\n")
    printf("Testing movie recording...\n")

    -- we must be in photo mode (from previous tests)
    assert(camera.mode ~= MODE.MOVIE)

    -- this should raise error
    local s,e = pcall(movie.start)
    assert(s == false)
    assert(e:find("movie mode"))

    request_mode(MODE.MOVIE, "Movie")
    lv.start()
    assert(lv.running)

    -- this should also raise error, as we are not exactly in LiveView
    lv.pause()
    local s,e = pcall(movie.start)
    assert(s == false)
    assert(e:find("LiveView"))
    menu.close()
    lv.resume()

    -- this should raise error, because the LiveView button has a special
    -- function in ML menu (so we can't just press it to start recording)
    menu.open()
    local s,e = pcall(movie.start)
    assert(s == false)
    assert(e:find("menu"))
    menu.close()

    -- now it should work
    -- hide the console for a nicer look
    console.hide(); assert(not console.visible)
    movie.start()
    assert(movie.recording)
    sleep(1)
    movie.stop()
    assert(not movie.recording)
    console.show(); assert(console.visible)

    -- let's review it
    assert(camera.gui.idle == true)
    camera.gui.play = true
    assert(camera.gui.play == true)
    assert(camera.gui.play_movie == true)
    assert(camera.gui.play_photo == false)

    printf("Movie recording tests completed.\n")
    printf("\n")
end

What we can try doing is to insert printf statements to figure out if the test is getting past that point. For example:

Code Select Expand

    -- we must be in photo mode (from previous tests)
    assert(camera.mode ~= MODE.MOVIE)
printf("Hello! I got this far...camera.mode ~= MODE.MOVIE\n")
    -- this should raise error


Eventually we should be able to figure out which line the test is failing to reach.

[EDIT] Just realized that the test closes the console at a certain point:

Code Select Expand

    -- hide the console for a nicer look
    console.hide(); assert(not console.visible)

When you get to that line simply comment it out to keep the console from closing.

so: assert(camera.gui.play_movie == true)

appears to be the problem...

Excellent bug hunting!

This might be the problem:

Looks like it should be:

Made a new lua_fix build and posted it on my downloads page. Let's see if that works.

[Walter Schulz]

IMO there is something wrong with this build. Cam locked with red led constantly on (Powerswitch off).

[saulbass]

@dfort - I haven't checked your revised build as am short on time right now, but would make the point that I reran the entire vanilla api_test.script test again with the potentially offending assert(camera.gui.play_movie == true) commented out and once again the movie test failed to run.

650D.104 1855kit lens with magiclantern-lua_fix.2018Mar31.650D104

My gut feeling is that there is more than one thing at play here - an interaction between two aspects. Quite what, is hard to say..

[saulbass]

addenda -

replace: once again the movie test failed to run.

with: once again the movie test failed to complete.

Oops -- my bad.

FYI, you can open the autoexec.bin file with a text editor to get some information about the build. In this case:

Notice that last line? I'm checking everything in QEMU and forgot to turn off that option. Sorry for the screw up, new test build ready.

@saulbass - There's a chance that an incorrect stub might be putting the camera into an unstable condition. Try the new build I posted.

[saulbass]

@dfort - something funny with the latest rebuilds - camera behaves as if bricked - best to avoid these.

[dfort]

@saulbass - are you on the April 27 build? There was a problem with the April 26 build.
