  • upgrade util problem a49

    From Marco R@2:280/2030 to g00r00 on Fri Mar 3 23:18:27 2023
    Hello James,

    The upgrade util is not working on my system. I figured out
    that the underscore is causing problems when it is used in the
    "Data File" field (filenames).

    Greetings,
    Marco

    ... A program is used to turn data into error messages.

    Can you give me a little context here? What is failing and where with underscores?

    Thanks!

    Ofcourse: The upgrade executable is failing:
    Here is the exact location of the problematic field that cause the upgrade executable to 'hang':

    mystic cfg -> Editors -> File Base Editor -> <base x> -> Data File -> an entry like welcome_area

    Hope this helps!

    Sorry, the path got corrupted after using the quote window and the message was already sent .....

    mystic cfg -> Editors -> File Base Editor -> <base x> -> Data File -> value like welcome_area

    When I rename the welcome_area in welcome area the conversion runs without problems.

    mystic cfg -> Editors -> File Base Editor -> <base x> -> Data File -> v mystic cfg -> like welcome_area

    When I rename the welcome_area in welcome area the conversion runs
    without problems.

    It seems to me like the issue is that it fails if there are no data files for the file area on disk. I was able to reproduce that problem in the upgrade and I have fixed it in the latest build!

    Thank you. I think this might be the same issue but if you continue to see an issue with the latest A49 from today please let me know.

    ... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
