Servoy 8.4 release candidate 1

[jozef.kopanicak]

Hi

After updating to 8.4 rc1, i can no longer login into our smart client in the developer. We have a login solution and custom authenticator. After calling security.login, the login solution is closed, but the main solution is not loaded.
There's nothing in the console, application server log or in the developer log. In the Admin page, the client says, that the main solution is loaded, but the onSolutionOpen method of the main solution is not called and the first form of the solution is not shown.
I've tried to reproduce the problem on a smaller solution, but it works then. After switching back to 8.3.3, everything works again. I will try to narrow the problem down, but I thought I would ask if anybody else experienced the problem

*EDIT*
-------
I have found the problem and created the case https://support.servoy.com/browse/SVY-13131

R&D told me that if your login form extends another form, this should be fixed in the next release.

Sorry, I didn't see your response before I edited my post. Yes, that's exactly our case

We will try to release rc2 before Christmas
If you want to test before the rc2 release you can download this: https://build.servoy.com/latest/servoy_ ... update.zip
and drop it over a 84rc1 install and start servoy once with "servoy -clean"
This will be possible in the next few days until we have made internally the rc2 build...

So - does anyone else have issues running 8.4 rc1?

I've tried - in vain - to update, clean install - on OSX and Win - Java 8 and 11 - but always getting blank views and errors like:

Could not create the view: com.servoy.eclipse.ui.views.SolutionExplorerView

Could not create the view: com.servoy.eclipse.ui.views.solutionexplorer.FormHierarchyView

Am I missing something?

i think i could reproduce this, somehow if you do an update it would also download a wrong plugin (from eclipse, not our update site)
and then we got into a version conflict, i made sure this shouldn't happen to fix to a specific version.

the update.zip can't be used anymore for the rc1 release.
So don't try to download it and put it over a rc1 release.
