I can confirm the same behavior below is happening to me as well:

I've removed pspell as a supported spell checker for IMP.

I guess we should just disable spell check in IMP if the spellchecker 
driver is pspell. Having it appear/disappear depending on format is 
probably too confusing.

I was kind of thinking we may need some code that would disable spell 
checking if using pspell and in html composition mode.

Can we close this bug?

Sure - it's confirmed in the INSTALL file which clearly states that 
pspell can't be used for spellchecking with HTML:



http://cvs.horde.org/co.php?r=1.87&f=imp%2Fdocs%2FINSTALL

Can anyone confirm this?

OK, tried the pspell driver.  It paritally works.



I am using this sentence as a test.



Mary had a little labm



With text composition, this works fine and finds the misspelled word.   
If I switch to HTML composition, it does not work at all and the check 
spelling button just sits at Checking.



One more issue.  If I add a period at the end of the sentence like this.



Mary had a little labm.



I get the same behavior as I do with HTML composition, the Check 
Spelling button changes to Checking and hangs.  This is with text 
composition.



Can you reproduce this?  I have tried w/ both Firefox and IE.

OK, I am going to try to use the pspell driver and report back.

Honestly I have no idea. You're not trying to run the tests through a 
web browser, are you? If not, just make sure your PATH is set 
appropriately before you run them.

How can I force the path?  The system path has /usr/local/bin in it.

The -a is one of the arguments to aspell. You still don't have 
anything in your path; for some reason the is_executable check isn't 
catching it.

A little bit more info, what would the -a be from?

Can you update and try again? I updated the test to catch output from 
which that isn't an executable program, and also fixed some other 
stuff in terms of dependencies.



Probably you'll find out that the programs really aren't in your path, 
or that you don't have the dictionary for them.

Here it is.

According to that report it's not skipping the test, which it would if 
it doesn't find aspell. So what is the output (the .out) file?

OK, that's the same version I have.  Here is what I am doing:



[root@www1 tests]# pear run-tests basic-aspell.phpt

/usr/local/bin is in my PATH, which is where aspell is.   Is there any 
way I can pass the PATH to aspell to this test script?



Thanks.

0.60.5

Can you tell me the version of aspell that you tested this on?  I want 
to match the versions.

Looks like it has no PATH when you run the test.

I tried running the tests, and I got the following:



which: no aspell in ((null))

which: no ispell in ((null))



However, when I run the which command as the apache user, I get the following:



[www@www1 ~]$ which aspell

/usr/local/bin/aspell



This is very puzzling, is there any reason that the script does not 
see aspell?

... you could try running the aspell test in framework/SpellChecker/tests/

I can't reproduce this

Using latest HEAD, it appears that the aspell driver for spell check 
does not work.

Here are the appropriate section of my imp/conf.php.



$conf['spell']['path'] = '/usr/local/bin/aspell';

$conf['spell']['driver'] = 'aspell';



I am using the latest version of Aspell from ftp.gnu.org and the 
latest English dictionary from there as well.  When I click "Check 
Spelling" the message body field changes to the uneditable field, but 
no spelling errors are detected when there are errors.  This is with 
text composition.  With HTML composition, it never changes to the 
uneditable field and nothing happens when i click "Check Spelling".
