Servoy hanging due to ValueList clash.

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I recently downloaded the latest version of Servoy (2.2.1 build 333). I am working on Windows XP.

I created two forms (“Company” and “Sector”) based on different tables, but both of which had a field which shared a common value list.

Forgetting that both forms shared this same value list I edited the value list in one form (the Company form) using the N-M option.

The result of this change meant that every time I went to the Sector form the system would hang because the ValueList was know causing a problem for it. It took me a while to work out why it was crashing but as soon as I deleted the offending ValueList from within the Sector form then the problem disappeared.

Can you reproduce it again and send that solution to me?

Johan,

I’m sure I can. As I’m new to Servoy, could you just let me know where I find the solution file to send.

If you have a solution in youre developer then you can go to the Repository dialog, File->Repository

Then you can select youre solution and then export it (export sample data with it)

you can send it to
jcompagner@servoy.com

Johan,

I gone to the repository dialog through file and I cannot see any option to export. Is this because I am trialing the product?

The only export button I see is on the File menu for excel, csv etc. I can’t see anything to export the solution.

Hi MerMer – not File/Export. File/Repository. Highlight the desired repository under your solution in the window that opens and click the Export to File button.

Maybe I’m going mad but I cannot see what you describe.

When I go to File/Repository I get a box which lists the solutions and a Styles tag. When I click on a solution the only options I have are the following.

Repository

Import
Import As

Solution

New Release
Rename
Delete
Remove Protection

Release

Load
Delete
Activate

I cannot see an export solution facility

mermer,

open the node of a solution (hit the ‘+’)

than all releases appear!, now you can export!

hope this helps.

Very strange.

I downloaded another trial version onto my other Windows XP desktop and when I go into the repository the export option is clear. However, on my other machine the export option does not appear.

The button itself isn’t ther?
Then you have to make youre dialog bigger.

Johan,

That did it!! I never for a moment considered the that the dialog box was hiding something or that it was adjustable. Thanks
