Item11301: Errors when re-installing FormPlugin.

reinstalling other plugins (tested with HistoryPlugin) works

uninstalling and installing FormPlugin works

-- JayenAshar - 27 Nov 2011

I can't recreate the issue -I've reinstalled FormPlugin on 1.1.3 several times, no errors. Are there any other errors logged? Can you try to install from the shell? Is that really the complete log of files installed, or have you excerpted the list? There should be a lot more files installed.

No other errors shown to the web browser. Errors in working/logs/error.log:

| 2011-11-27T06:15:09Z warning | Cannot mkdir {PublishPlugin}{Dir} Cannot mkdir {PublishPlugin}{Dir} at /.../Foswiki-1.1.3/lib/Foswiki/Plugins/PublishPlugin.pm line 32.

Errors in apache log:

[Sun Nov 27 17:16:18 2011] [error] [client 0.0.0.0] Indexing attachment System.FormPlugin.screenshot_validation_example.png, referer: https://server/bin/configure

tools/extension_installer works fine (with or without the cached downloaded copy). The following is printed to stderr, presumably from ldapplugin and kinosearch:

fetchUsers=user1,user2
Indexing attachment System.FormPlugin.screenshot_validation_example.png
Indexing attachment System.FormPlugin.form_on_submit_diagram.png
Indexing attachment System.FormPlugin.error.gif
Indexing attachment System.FormPlugin.formplugin.css

That really is the complete log. I have only obfuscated path names.

Patching PublishPlugin to give more info:

I can see $Foswiki::cfg{PublishPlugin}{Dir} contains "$Foswiki::cfg{PubDir}/publish/" which is probably not being re-evaluated.

Changing Item to be against PublishPlugin.

-- JayenAshar - 27 Nov 2011

Upgraded to 1.1.4, disabled and removed PublishPlugin. FormPlugin re-install/upgrade problem still persists. Changing Item back to FormPlugin.

The unexpanded config variables is noted in Item11384 with a possible fix. Still unable to reproduce the file copy issue and don't understand why it happens.

-- GeorgeClark - 22 Dec 2011

Not sure what changed between yesterday and today, but kinoupdate doesn't seem to work (Item11388). As a result, I disabled EnableOnSaveUpdates, and I'm no longer seeing this issue. Perhaps there is an interaction issue with these two plugins?

And/or contact us on IRC so we can do some more interactive debugging of the problems.

If this issue returns, I'll add all kinds of debugging and hopefully have a more accurate error message.
