Is this a bug?

I am now using Tags with the Rapidweaver Built In Blog. For some reason the sort order for a tag “page” isn’t based on the date of the blog entry. It may be based on when I actually created the blog entry. This is different than a category page which seems to respect the blog entry date.

As an example … here’s my tag page for a Venue called “The Rust Belt”.

For some reason the entry for Arkansauce (8 Aug 2019) is completely out of order.

If you look at my Category page for “Concerts”, that entry is in the correct order.

Thanks for your help.

JR

BTW - It would be really cool to also see a column for Tags in the Rapidweaver Blog Edit Window. Today I have columns for Title, Categories, and Date Created. I don’t see how to display a column for “Tags”.

No previews at all for my 2 sites:

Anyone else seeing the above export issue?

@bwil Also, have you tried to re-specify the Export folder again? Perhaps it’s been moved…

5

I set the export location and there was no change in the error message. A new project was fine. Then I gave Rapidweaver full hard disk access, restarted Rapidweaver and now I can get a preview. I don’t understand why there is a difference between an old and a new project. And Catalina should have asked for folder access.

Got a nil object exception just now when trying to preview:

@bwil can you let us know what version of Catalina you are using?

Many Thanks
Dan

Beta 7, not using the public beta. I need to update to beta 8 in the next days.

9

@bwil Please update to beta 8, I hit a number of significant sandbox related problems in beta 7 and pretty sure I saw preview issues too.

The nil object exception looks to originate from Stacks so @isaiah may need to look at that one.

Catalina beta 7 has the potential to corrupt documents so please update as soon as you can.

10

Updated to latest beta.

I removed the full disk access and used the original file from my main dev machine. The error shows up again. After setting the export folder the error remains.29
56

11

Forgot to add: the error remains even after restarting Rapidweaver.

12

I’m guessing this is caused by you removing full disk access… If you grant RapidWeaver access to the full disk do you still see the error?

13

Yes, if I grant Rapidweaver full disk access then the error is gone. However, the error message should say something sensible. And if Rapidweaver wants access to a folder I should get one of those wonderful wonderful dialogs requesting access to the folder.

Click undo a couple of times:

RW got stuck the second time loading the stack list:

47
471383×877 148 KB

16

If anyone has any more info about this, please send my way. I can guard against that nil, of course, but it’s a strange place to see it. It’s likely that it has something to do with the particular stack that the template compiler is working on.

17

I’m getting that too but using RW 8.3 and Stacks 4. Don’t know if it works for you but clicking on a page in your project seems to clear it.

18

Yep. Seems to be a Stack4 problem.

19

if anyone can describe how to reproduce the problem I can probably easily make it go away. probably in just a day or two.

but right now i’m afraid I don’t have enough info to see the problem.

just telling me what you’re doing when the problem occurs is probably enough. a file that helps make the problem happen is even better.

you will help yourself and your fellow weaver’s if you just take a minute and type a sentence or two about the issue.

thanks

Hi @isaiah
I sent in a ticket about it and what seemed to trigger it, I can send in project files too if you can let me know where to send them too
