My Tasks - Always Fails

theslacker — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:32:57 GMT

Hi all. I downloaded Alfresco Community 3.3 and am evaluating it for my company. I really like some aspects of it, but I am having trouble with one feature right out of the box. I installed on win XP using the exe installer. Install went well. Using Share works well except whenever I try to do anyth

That sounds like a pretty serious regression bug. Could you grab the log and create a new bug report in JIRA please (see the link in my signature).

Many thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the link. I see a bug reported that is two months old that addresses this: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-260

It would be nice to have it fixed! Is it a better idea to install 3.2 for now?

Hello,

Iam experiencing exactly the same issues. After an upgrade from 3.2r2 to 3.3 all My Tasks I try to End or accept result in a Failure.
There's nothing noticeable in the log files however.

This *might* be related to the regression detailed in this post: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=26040

We're checking here too…

Thanks,

Hmmm….that issue seems to be login - probably a different thing.

Mike - If you can ask the developers to put the My Task bug fix into the next community release they mention is going out very soon, that would be awesome. As of right now, having it so no one can complete tasks inside of Share makes the application very un-useful and I don't see how the company would want anyone to install the software with that large of a bug.

Thanks for your help. REALLY looking forward to getting this rolling!

I *am* one of the developers… it's on the list. :wink:

Awesome! I just noticed that :lol:

I'm already very excited - is there any general estimate of when the release/fix would come out? I need to figure out if I should just wait a few days type of thing, or work on something else for a few weeks, etc….

Couple of weeks until 3.3g

can i fix it manually ?

I'd really like to see a post telling us what to do about this other than wait. We spend a lot of time chasing and reporting bugs and could use some help killing them.

The best way of tracking bug fixes is to watch our SVN checkins, either via twitter (@alfrescoeng) or SVN directly. We'll be opening up a Fisheye server too soon (I don't think it's public yet, as we're still testing internally).

The fix you want is detailed in http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-260 which refers to SVN rev. 19829

thanx for the answer
can you tell me the path in svn?

There are some great SVN help resources available from a quick Google search… however:

Hi,

I changed ./tomcat/webapps/share/components/dashlets/my-tasks.js but I still get an error when trying to complete tasks. Have I overlooked something?

I checked out HEAD and did a diff with my edit against HEAD and the file is the same as far as I can see. I've restarted Alfresco, too.
