[Thomas Parry]

[ROCLASI]

Mine didn't find any updates either.
Then I hit the reload button in the Update Sites preference pane and then it did find an update.
But updating results then in the following error:

UPDATE: hitting reload again seems to fix the issue. I am now on 6.0b4

[Hans Nieuwenhuis]

worked fine for me, no issues

[Harjo]

Same here, I had to reload twice!!, before it detects the new beta 4 version

[wbtd]

Install fails on a case-sensitive OSX volume - the install script tries to chmod a+x /Applications/Servoy/developer/Servoy.app/Contents/MacOSX/servoy, but the actual directory is /Applications/Servoy/developer/servoy.app/Contents/MacOSX/servoy.

-WBTD.

[rgansevles]

WBTD,

Thanks form mentioning, corrected in next installer.

Hi Servoy,

The method application.getStartupArguments is deprecated in Servoy 6. I searched for any reference regarding its replacement method or an example of what should be the used in order to get similar data in Servoy 6 but could not find anything.

What should we use to get the solution startup arguments in Servoy 6? Is it simply using the arguments passed to the solution onOpen callback method?

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

As a side note, whenever some functionality gets deprecated, there should be some note (preferably in the deprecated method tooltip in Servoy Developer and in the release notes for the new version) regarding what alternative methods should be used in place of the old methods.

Thanks for your help.

[pbakker]

Yes, the arguments passed into the onOpen solution should be used.

The getStartupArguments() function was a workaround to gain access to the startup arguments before being logged in, when we had a form as a login screen.

As we now have a solution as a login screen, and the solution has an opOpen method that gets fired and receives the arguments, the getStartupArguments function is obsolete.

The is an overview of the stuff deprecated (and new) in the release notes on the wiki.

Regarding the info in the tooltip inside Servoy Developer: please file a case for that, if you haven't already.

[Harjo]

Paul, can we now deeplink also right into the login-solution?? with arguments??

In older versions of Servoy this was not working, because you get the arguments ONLY when you where logged into the solution......

[pbakker]

Yes or else the motivation for deprecating getstartupArguments would be invalid...

Paul

[Harjo]

That's great! thanks!

[pogie.nocedo]

Hi!
I am still having problems getting the arguments from a deeplink.
I have 2 kinds of deeplinks. one is the with a deeplink method and one without
example: (org, username, and password are encrypted)
a. http://x.x.x.x:8080/servoy-client/polic ... ssword=abc
b. http://x.x.x.x:8080/servoy-client/polic ... ssword=abc

1. onopen on the login solution i have...

Code: Select all

globals.deeplinkArgument = arguments

however, if there is a deeplink method the arguments.length becomes undefined.

[Gabi Boros]

and what about the arguments of the deeplink method ? what does it look like
if you print it via application.output in the deeplink method ?
