[Xerte-dev] testing results

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi all

I'm sending this to the dev list but I posted a completely separate message
this morning which still doesn't seem to have got through so sending this
bcc to Julian too because it's partly due to some testing due to an issue
reported about re-running setup breaking an install.

 

I've done some testing (via xampp for now) and as previously when there have
been multiple contributions over a period of time it's a bit scary! (But not
because of the setup question)

 

I downloaded xertetoolkits_2.1 Version:2.1 Last update  2014-03-14 from the
community site. (BTW Tom the unstable download doesn't seem to work?) 

Also I downloaded from the community site because that's the most likely
place from where the community will download rather than direct from git.

 

Installed on xampp using the xampp option tested creation of a quick lo then
revisited setup and get the following message: 

 



So if xampp quick install option chosen doesn't seem possible to overwrite
db by revisiting setup with this revision which is obviously a good thing.

 

Repeated the process with full install option and same result e.g.
revisiting setup prompts that the install already exists.

 

Obviously deleting database.php means that setup can be re-run.

 

So not sure how someone was able to break a working install via setup if the
version installed included this detection.

 

But the scary bit is that it seems from my testing that this revision is not
reliable e.g. one minute I can create an LO and the next minute I get one of
two errors when trying to create a new lo:

Session ID not set

or

Invalid template_id (could not find in DB)

 

Does this not happen for others?
