Reporting bugs
If you think you have found a bug in GATE, please:
- Make sure you are using the latest build of GATE. Many problems are found and fixed between major releases, and if you report a bug against a specific release of GATE the first thing we will ask you to do is try using the latest nightly build.
- Make sure you are using a supported version of Java. GATE 3.1 requires a Java runtime version 1.4.2 or later.
- Check the documentation, to make sure your environment is set up properly, and double check that you have followed the correct procedure (e.g. if using GATE as a library, that you have called Gate.init before using the Factory, that you have loaded the correct plugins, etc.).
- Check the mailing list archive and search the existing bug reports to see if your problem has already been reported (and possibly fixed).
Once you are sure you have found a bug, please let the appropriate person know about it. Bugs in the core of GATE or in the plugins bundled with the GATE distribution should be reported using the SourceForge bug tracker. Bugs in third-party plugins should generally be reported to the plugin maintainer in the first instance, so the maintainer can determine whether the bug is in their code or in the GATE core.
Historical Information
The rest of this page contains old bugs from before the bug tracker was available, and is of historical interest only.

AnnotationSetImpl:
Various get() methods return the actual set stored in the indexes internal to AnnotationSetImpl. If such a set obtained from a get() operation is then modified, the modification will be reflected by the results of all the further calls to the same get() method although the base AnnotationSet is not actually modified, hence invalid results. Probably the desired behaviour is for the returned annotation sets to be backed by the base annotation set so that modifications on the returned sets will reflect in the base set. That could cause a lot of ConcurrentModificationExceptions in the client code but that's their problem. {@see List.subList(start, end).clear(); } |

| 00045 3) | gui - feature requests | Kalina | ___adopted_by | beta1 | ___fixed_on ___date ___Gversion | 3. make the action menu for resources a separate class and that gets constructed from actions exposed on the resources themselves. Valy says that's a really good idea and not difficult to implement. The nice thing about it is that it'll reduce the overhead of adding new types of LRs like Wordnet to the GUI with no programming effort on behalf of the user. technical difficulty: medium (Valy knows exactly how but just not enough time till the beta; suggests done in January, before final release). | ___test_method | ___supporting_materials |
| 00046 | core - feature request | Kalina | ___adopted_by | beta1 | ___fixed_on ___date ___Gversion | The profiler shows that obtaining beanInfo on each class is an expensive operation. I minimised that to an extent now by stopping it from being read for every parameter. Hopefully now it's read once parameters need to be set. However, still this is not needed, because the beanInfo does not change once the class is loaded. So how about making a static on each Resource, which when it gets constructed, it checks and if the static is null -> creates the BeanInfo, if not, does nothing. That might speed up the things even more. Probably not worth trying till January, but something to keep in mind. Valentin's note: how often do we set parameters on resources? Is it worth the while? | ___test_method | ___supporting_materials |

13/march/2002 Should be fixed in JDK, not in GATE :-) |
In javax.swing.text.html.parser.Parser there is one wrong IF statement on line 1653 for JDK 1.3 and on line 1712 for JDK 1.4. This statement is: if (elemName.equals("center")) { The wrong IF statement should be removed but the body of the statement should stay. You have in code above a less restrictive IF and in some cases the "font" tag will be processed incorrect. You could get the Parser.java file from src.zip (in JDK directory) You should put the fixed Parser.class file in the JDK_dir\jre\lib\rt.jar |
If you parse the HTML file: <HTML> <FONT SIZE = 2> <P> Text with wrong position. </FONT> The wrong position start. </HTML> You will have an error in the callback handler of HTML parser: "end.missingfont??" two pieces of text will be connected in one and the reported position of text will be wrong - will be the position of second piece of text. |

| 00017 | gui | Valentin | Valentin | 01/12/2001 All platforms All JDKs Beta1 | 05 Mar 2002 beta1 | The GUI doesn't block while operations are being executed. This allows for multiple threads to be run at the same time which could lead to dangerous situations as the gate API is not thread safe. Although runing things that not affect each other is many times safe it is sometimes difficult to tell whether two certain operations are interfering with each other so the GUI should lock itself not allowing the user to start a new operation before the current one finished. Kalina's note: I think that such operations should not be performed in a separate thread allowing the user to control the GUI. Instead they should pop up a dialog telling the user theu have to wait. The problem otherwise: - I do not know when the save is finished, so I close the document while it's still being saved. What happens is cleanup() gets called, which remoes the data before it's saved.Workaround: Allow each operation to finish before starting a new one. This is particularly important for operations involving datastores and executions of applications. |

When I attempt to load a GATE document language resource via the GATE GUI (i.e., click on the "open folder" icon for the sourceUrl property), my screen is filled with a simple blue background (and this background spans multiple "virtual" desktops in my X-Windows session, using the FVWM window manager). No Java Swing widgets are visible on this background (making it impossible to do anything, much less load a document). I have also tried this with the Sun CDE window manager. In that case, a gray window fills just my current desktop, again with no Java widgets (and thus no way to do anything). This problem does not arise on Windows 2000 (JDK 1.3.1_01) (which is not my preferred platform), and I did not have this problem on Solaris when using GATE 2.0 a3build516. | Just run build/gate.sh | Supporting materials |

| 00042 | gui - feature request | Kalina | Valentin | beta1 | 10 Feb 2002 beta1 | When doing corpus annotation with GATE, i.e. correcting ANNIE's wrong annotations, what you often do is want to delete a wrong annotation and then mark it up correctly. The second part was made easy by Cristi. The first part: deleting an annotation is difficult. you have to have the annotations table on, then click on the annotation text, then choose the annotation type, get positioned in the table (which is slow and confusing on long documents) just to press delete. The problem is that linguists don't care about all the internal features produced by GATE most of the time. Suggestion: add a menu of actions for each annotation type (delete and select for now). It'll take longer to explain in writing but Valy agrees it's a good idea to bypass the complex delete procedure. It will not be computationally more expensive and will only take 10 mins to implement (as a pessimist I say 30). | ___test_method | ___supporting_materials |

| 00047 | creole/AST | Kalina | Kalina | beta1 | 21 February 2002 beta1 | The idea is to have a file in the corpus directory which is either empty, then process the entire doc or contains the string of the annotation name which should be the BODY annotation in annotation set transfer. The problem is that without AST, precision and recall are lower by about 5% from the real figures. Should fix as soon as Oana has fixed the entire corpus. Diana's note: .....would be very happy later on if it were allowed to process just the main body of the documents and not the whole thing, by allowing you to specify the tag to be used for the annotation set transfer. | ||

It looks like they are converted to byte[] and back to string using the platform default. This destroys all unicode values. The problem was actually in the LogArea not in Jape. It's fixed now. The attached application works fine now. |

| 00090 | Persistence - Database | Valy | Marin | - | 07 Mar 2003 Gate 2.1 build 1191 | The database datastore did not prperly unload transient documents, part of a transient corpus, when the later was adopted in the database datastore. The result was that each document in the corpus was duplicated in the resource pane (one transiebt and one persistent copy) which is confusing. Now transient documents get properly unloaded when they're adopted and a DatabaseDocument is created instead | - | - |
| 00091 | Persistence - Database | Marin | Marin | - | 20 May 2003 Gate 2.1 build 1250 | Documents part of database corpus were not properly unloaded. Instead of nullifying the repsective position in the list with corpus documents, the list element was actually removed so effectively the document was removed from the in-memory coprus strucures. As a result the corpus will report that it contains less documents than the correct count and any PR that tries to process the corpus (and loads, processes and unloads documents one by one) will effectively process only half of the focuments (before the in-memory list was emptied) | - | - |

| 00095 | Persistence - Database | Marin | Marin | - | 05 Jul 2003 Gate 2.1 build 1288 | Database corpus sync() performance was improved by removing an unnecessary call (for creating a link between a document and a corpus in the database) This call was made for every loaded document from the corpus (even for the ones such link already has been created) | - | - |
| 00096 | Persistence - Database | Marin | Marin | 07 Jul 2003 Gate 2.1 build 1288 | 08 Jul 2003 Gate 2.1 build 1289 | Documents were not properly unloaded from a database corpus because the super class intercepts the unload event (caused by improper listener registration) The actual problem was in the CorpusImpl equals() implementation (which is inherited by DatabaseCorpusImpl) and which makes the two documents ( transient and database) look the same just because they contain the same document list. As a result the registry refused to register the database corpus as listener for document unload events. After the fix the peformance of a database corpus sync() is greatly improved | - | - |
