Error on newRecord()?

Classic Servoy
1

We are finally converting to Servoy 7.4 and in QA we are running into situations where the newRecord command (on controller, or foundset, local or from a different form) cannot fire. This is what the error on screen and in the log says:

Hi Ellen,

Congrats on your upgrade (why not go all the way to 8.1.2 ? :wink: )

I believe that some time ago the method:

controller.newRecord(boolean,boolean);

…was deprecated.

You’ll have to refactor your usage to pass nothing, integer or boolean. There is no second argument.
BTW, you probably have some (potentially many) eclipse build markers which tell you things like this.
You can use that to find all the improper usage of APIs.

Here is a link to the docs

I hope this helps
