Thanks Jan

Two Servers that were on 2028 have updated to 2033 fine - but two more that are on 2026 are showing “…No update found …”. Have tried both .bat and .jar updaters without success. Any suggestions?

Regards

Trying to update via help menu, the update window is blank. However, clicking on next twice and accepting the licence, starts the update. Quite confusing.

I can’t update my developer (7.4.2 rc) to 7.4.2 final

Developer does see the update, but after accepting I get this error:

Hi Graham
Try using servoy_updater.bat -releaseNumber 2033, this works fine for Server updating.

Hi Harjo,
Try Developer restart and the again Help - Check for Updates, this ‘no repository found’ is an Eclipse issue. The update should work fine after restart.

Hi tried that, but that does’nt fix the problem! :(

Jan,

SVY-7347 doesn’t appear on the list of fixes, although its state in JIRA is resolved, does that mean it did not make it?

Thanks for suggestion - will try that later.

Have had reports this morning that people can’t access WebClient solutions on the upgraded Servers - they just get the Servoy icon. Discovered that …server/webapps/ROOT/index.html file was overwritten during the upgrade - so my modified index.html that loads the solution was lost.

Is replacing the index.html file usual in an upgrade?

You are correct, case was not yet fully in closed state, is now and added to release notes.

Something got broken in Servoy 7.4.2 as far as Continuations and onHide event callbacks are concerned in the Web Client. In short, using Continuations in to emulate blocking modal dialogs does not work as it used to in 7.4.1. For example, continuing a blocked call from within an onHide event callback causes unexpected behavior and code after the modal dialog window is closed does not execute.
You can try the following, using the sample solution from the “Dialogs” module in ServoyForge:

Modify the example a bit to show a message dialog after showing FIMD (form in modal dialog) - you will notice that the second message dialog is not displayed. The code below has the modified code which reproduces the issue.

function onAction(event) {
	_g_sLog = "";
	addToLog("opening the dialog...");
	switch (_g_sDialogType) {
	case 1: // Info
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showInfoDialog('Info dialog test', 'Did you know that....\n...you can actually use long button text?', "Really? I didn't know that.", 'Old News'));
		break;
	case 2: // Warning
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showWarningDialog('Warning dialog test', 'A Warning of some sort ', 'Cancel', 'Do It Anyway'));
		break;
	case 3: // Error
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showErrorDialog('Error dialog test', 'This is an error message', 'OMG!'));
		break;
	case 4: // Question
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showQuestionDialog('Question dialog test', 'How is this working?', 'OK', 'Maybe Okay', 'Not Really Okay'));
		break;
	case 5: // Input
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showInputDialog('Input dialog test', 'Give me some input!', 'Questionable input...'));
		break;
	case 6: // Select
		addToLog("returning: " + globals.DIALOGS.showSelectDialog('Select dialog test', 'Pick a value...\n\n....any value.', ['Value 1', 'Value 2', 'Value 3']));
		break;
	case 0: // FIMD
		globals.DIALOGS.showFormInModalDialog('DemoFIMD', -1, -1, -1, -1, 'FIMD');
		break;
	}
	addToLog("...and continuing again by showing a second modal dialog");
	globals.DIALOGS.showWarningDialog('Second Dialog', 'Do you see this after displaying a FIMD or closing a dialog using the X button?', 'Yes', 'No');
	addToLog("...and continuing once more after the second dialog");
}

There are also problems using the X button on the modal dialogs - when using it to close the dialogs in the Web Client, subsequent attempts to show another modal dialog from the same method do not work.
What got changed in 7.4.2 and how can this issue be resolved?

12

We discussed this in the R&D team, no one could find or come up with changes in area.
Could you file a case please?

I am trying to update from 7.3.1 to 7.4.2 and having a problem after updating. Before updating, I synchronize my solutions with no problems. Then I run servoy_updater.jar and it goes up to 2033. Then I launch Developer and it tells me to go to Help>Check for Updates which I do and the update works fine and then I restart Developer. Developer launches and shows that it is 7.4.2 but when I try to synchronize again, I get this error:
[attachment=0]repo_error.png[/attachment]
I have tried toggling startRepositoryAsTeamProvider but nothing I do seems to allow me access to my repository again. What am I missing?
