Servoy 7.4.1 and zip files

Classic Servoy
1

Hi guys,

We have updated our servoy developer to 7.4.1 from 7.3.1 today (finally). The first thing we realized after updating to the new version is that the file plugin no longer sees the zip files in the application_server\server\webapps\ROOT\upload folder when we do:

plugins.file.convertToRemoteJSFile(‘/’+zipfilename);

This used to work perfectly fine in the prior servoy versions and now it doesn’t. It however can see any other file types and folders. Has someone else encountered such problem? Is there any change regarding to this plugin for 7.4.1?

Your inputs are much appreciated,

Hi,

Have you checked the defaultFolder setting for the File Plugin on the Server Plugins page. This seems to have changed with 7.4 onward. On my 7.3 installation it was blank but on 7.4.1 it has a default value filled in that is a different location to the application_server\server\webapps\ROOT\upload folder

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. Changing the file plugin server path did work. But there are a couple of interesting points.

First: when I looked at the path on the servoy admin page, the field was blank and wasn’t set to anything at all (like before!).

Second: I could get a remoteJsFile or folder for that matter with no change to the default server path and zip files were the only file types that weren’t accessible! (Strange!)

Thanks for pointing that out as setting the path fixed it all. But it would have been better if changes like this would have been mentioned in Servoy update changelogs as I don’t think anyone would check all these values one by one every time they update to a newer version of servoy (unless it’s been mentioned somewhere in the changelogs).
