I am having problems getting the updates, I added the code to the properties file . I decided to look at my log, it seems the there is maybe a problem reading the properties file.

I am not sure where the problem is, here is the log text.

Thanks,
Erich

Connection refused, normally means you have a database definition to which servoy cannot connect. (has nothing todo with this beta)

[sabeenah]

The method application.getUserName(user_id) always returns the current logged in username.

[Jan Blok]

there is no argument in the application.getUserName() which returns the current username, JavaScript allows you to pass one but thats ignored.
Use security.getUserName(...) to lookup other users

[sabeenah]

My mistake. It was securit.getUserName(user_id). It worked fine before installing the beta version.

My pc at home upgraded to Servoy 2.2b3 successfully.

But at work it's still not upgraded.

I have the "wantsBetaCodeNotifies=true" in servoy.properties but the version is still R2 2.2b1-build 316

Due to this reason I could not import the latest work I did at home to work PC and thrown up with the following error. I don't know what to do this morning

Code: Select all

com.servoy.j2db.persistence.RepositoryException: Import with XML version 9 is not supported. Upgrade to at least Servoy R2 2.2b3-build 318 to import this solution.


Thanks for your help

Hi, last night I was working in Servoy Developer, latest Beta. I opened the Preferences window and did a reset all dialog sizes.

Immediatly, the L&F changed from Windows L&F to Standard L&F

I tried setting it back to Windows L&F or any other L&F for that matters, restarting developer 10 or more times, but it keeps starting with the standard L&F, with no means of changing it to anything else..

I started a client and the clients starts nromally in the Windows L&F...

I'm lost.... help please...

Paul

[Jan Blok]

...I have the "wantsBetaCodeNotifies=true" in servoy.properties...

make sure the property is not twice in the servoy.properties and is has no trailing spaces...

In/after Servoy 2.2b4 you never will have to edit the properties for this property again, its now an option in the check for update dialog

[ahmad]

make sure the property is not twice in the servoy.properties and is has no trailing spaces...

It's appeared only once and no trailing space.. I have attached the screen grab

In/after Servoy 2.2b4 you never will have to edit the properties for this property again, its now an option in the check for update dialog

That's so gr888

Thanks

Note: I find no button to attach a file with this when posting a reply.. I think that option is really needed.

I have just had to move Servoy from one server to another.
I updated Servoy to the latest version (2.2b3) on the original server and then exported the latest release of my solution, including users/groups.
I then installed Servoy freshly on the new server, updating it to the same latest version, moved the data (.db) file over and then imported the solution I created above. I chose the option to import/update the users/groups, but it seems to have ignored two groups with their associated user names from the original solution. I had the usual Administrators group, a Temps group, and also groups named 'one', 'two', 'three' etc. up to 'ten'. All groups except 'one' & 'two' were imported. The only thing about those groups that I can think of that is different to the others is that I had not applied any restrictions to them (in other words they have full access), whereas all the other groups had some kind of form or table restriction.
Please could you look into this.
Thanks,
Rafi.

[Jan Blok]

...not applied any restrictions to them...

Yes this can be so, if nothing with group is done regarding a solution it is not xported (te prevent always taking all groups back and forth)

[rafig]

Yes this can be so, if nothing with group is done regarding a solution it is not xported (te prevent always taking all groups back and forth)

I see. But the problem is, if you have users that are only defined in those groups, which maybe at some point in the future you do want to apply restrictions to, they won't get imported and methods that might refer to those groups or users will fail. could an extra option be added that asks if you want ALL (even if they have no current restrictions) users/groups exported/imported.
Other developers might not notice that this 'feature' has occured when they import a solution and things will go wrong.
Thanks.

[Jan Blok]

...the L&F changed from Windows L&F to Standard L&F...

Will be corrected in Servoy 2.2 beta4, thanks for reporting

[jcompagner]

It was securit.getUserName(user_id). It worked fine before installing the beta version.

what is user_id in youre place?
What do you want? Get the current logged in users?
Then you should do this:

security.getUserName();
