Hi Steve,

I successfully used the command line on the Mac and on the PC for now.

Code: Select all

java -jar servoy_updater.jar -beta

The proper downloadlinks are available again.

I loaded in b6 and all my forms that use form inheritance went completely wacky.
* I commented out a line in a method that is a child form and all the form variables at the top of the .js file got replaced with a copy of all the methods that are in the *parent* form causing all kinds of errors about duplicated methods and UUID's (good thing I use subversion).
* Also now on the list of methods for the parent form (the area that used to be called the "outline" in 3.5) all the parent forms methods have the name of one of the child form appended to the end in square brackets - the complete reverse of how it is supposed to be.
* Some of the child forms methods are displaying like the above mentioned parent form, except rather than showing the parent form name in the square brackets, they are displaying some other child forms name.


Is there a way to revert to b5?

the form inheritance problems are fixed for the next beta.

There are separate functions to create each type of field (JSForm.newTextField(), JSForm.newTextArea(), etc) but missing is a way to get the displayType of an existing JSField object.

I created case 173940: "Missing a way to get the displayType of an existing JSField object" for that.

Is it possible to upgrade to this new beta without overwriting my current installation, that is, to keep the current workspace and server connection definitions etc intact?

With the last beta I created a fresh install, copied my workspace over but had to rebuild the servers etc.

The server connections are stored in servoy.properties. You can copy that as well.

Is that all I'll need to copy to get back to my current set-up Laurian?

Wo'nt the app server need to have the solution uploaded again?

Is there a way to have an auto update of this beta, and have all my settings and app server config retained?

[lvostinar]

If you also want the solutions you must use the same repository database for the two installs. This is needed if you do team operations with servoy team provider( checkout,update, commit ...) and want to use the same solutions. The local solutions are the ones from workspace. You must do this manually.

"the form inheritance problems are fixed for the next beta."

Had the same problem... is there a planned date for the next beta?

Thanks,
