XML with R2024V4

General
1

I upgraded to 2024V4 yesterday and late on requested my apps help system and it returned an error code indicating the project code of the running app did not match that on the table of contents file (TOC). The help system I used is generalised and not written specifically for any one app.

The TOC file is XML and the first child in it is the project code. The XML has the correct project code. When I investigated what the help viewer was reading is was

https://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace

No idea where it got that from.

I’ve recompiled another of my apps that uses the same help system and it got the same error. I’ve reverted to R3.1 and everything is working properly (albeit after a day’s work Save warned me some changes I’ve made may not be supported since the project was saved originally on a later release).

Anyway, if you use XML look out for problems. I reported it as a bug.

Please create a mini sample showing the said bug and attach it to the issue case (zip several files into one if needed)

Something simple that works ok in r3.1 but clearly breaks in r4 is enough.

I suspect that it’s just an user bug and not Xojo’s.
Unfortunately he says he is unable to create a sample of the problem.

Yeah, I saw that.
I signed on because I find myself doing a lot of XML work right now ~ so this is a “just in case” situation for me.
I have not upgraded my Xojo install to the latest version just yet, but will do that soon.

It’s not a user issue. Xojo have accepted there is bug.

And I didn’t say I was unable to create a sample, I said it was not straightforward given all the components that would need to be included.

Thank you. I have upvoted this. Hopefully this will be resolved in the next release.

The ‘Bug’ label is used to put a report in a category. Later on the review process the ‘Verified’ label is added, this is when I consider a Bug accepted by Xojo.

I have seen many bugs closed with other labels as ‘By Design’, ‘Not Actionable’ and maybe other labels. And the ‘Bug’ label removed on the verification stage.

This is just for you to be aware. I hope they can verify it is a bug and fix it soon.

Edit: from other bugs reported for 2024r4 it looks like they will work on 2024r4.1, I hope this bug is fixed and included in that release.
