the auto update function doesn’t seem to work. I click on “update now”, it downloads the new version and yet after installation and relaunch it prompts me with the update note again and is stuck on 20541b.
I think I found a bug, actually a pretty nasty one. I have a site that is quite complex and includes a lot of stacks. I just had to make some minor changes and in the afternoon I had updated to Build 20560b. When I previewed or simulated or uploaded the page in question from that build, it was broken. The topbar disappeared, the Impact slides were no longer visible. I got error messages regarding the PopDrop stack that I am using. But since I had already been using this for months and not made any changes there I immediately thougt it must be something else.
Turns out that 2056b does not display nor upload the page properly (obviously it has difficulties creating the correct html code). But build 20541b does. I re-downloaded that version, opened it up from the finder, opened the project, preview worked, simulation worked and upload worked as well.
I guess @dan you will need the project file in order to check this. How can I send it to you and do you think you have all the stacks involved?
Yesterday I was working on a client site and uploaded the latest version using Version 8.1 (20541b). I had no issues at all publishing.
This morning, using the same project file and publishing settings, this new Candidate 6 will not connect to my server. Switched back to Version 8.1 (20541b) and publishing works.
Dan, for some reason, in RW 8.1 the Preview is not working well. After the project is closed and if you open it again, the Preview (File - Preview page in… ⌥⌘P) does not work until you restart the program.
In this build again some kind of bug with the Resources window, when you open it, it immediately appears:
@tpbradley I’ve just tested it again with the latest build. Same result: “Couldn’t sign in with your SFTP server”. I’m using SFTP with Public Key Authentication.
It’s the only way I can connect to my host, but up until this latest build, I’ve never had publishing issues.
Having the same issues as @Wondrous. The difference between this build and the previous one is that most of the resources are now showing in the webpages, but not all of them, and still having issues with the app not finding its resources. Backpedalling to 8.0.3 is also no go. I hope and trust that these issues will be resolved very soon. In the interim, any suggestions as to a temporary solution would be most welcome.
@therealmf Hey man, thanks for sending the project/addons. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can reproduce the problem (unless I’m looking at the wrong stack).
No, that is a magellan navigation. The nav that was affected was the main nav on the site (Top Bar stack). The other stack that got lost was the Impact banner.
