Hi

Som pages cant be shown in the test center! i get a massege, something about html, and then when i try to open it next time it just flashes.

I suppose I have done something stuped….this is bad since it is the start page.

Message: The HTML code generation process has terminated because it can not write the file.

Please advice

PS! As I said Before I’m new at this….is there any way you can look in to my app and figure out whats wrong.

Regards
Ray

Hi Ryan

Have you tried doing a new test project just with one page and see if it runs in the test centre?

It sounds like there is a problem with your path to the www folder. Either a permissions issue on the folder or you project folder has been moved?

Thanks

Paul

@Rayan,

From the message error I guess that file has a read only attribute, and it doesn’t let you continue, could you try remove this property to cache.manifest file and check if you can generate your app? Let me know if this resolve the problem.

Hi

Sorry but it happens again with an other app. I hav not done any Changes just tryed to run it in testcenter.
I have altered some other pages and closed them after saving. Then i tryed to run may startpage in the testcenter.

The problem with this is, that i have several users that i have to create an other code, therefore it makes it troublesome.
I have to ask them to download a new one. So of course, when I make new things within the ap they dont get it.

And in the end they probebly get tired.

I do know that it can be my fault, but I dont know what I’m doing wrong.

Please advise.

Ray

How do I do what you suggest?

Please advise.

Hi Ray,

I don’t fully understand your error report other than it seems you are unable to design a UI and run it in the Test Center. So let me propose that we step back and start with super simple test. Once we know this fundamental scenario is workable for you then we incrementally step forward with more specific scenarios that will reproduce your problem(s).

1) shutdown all mobione tools if they are running (design center and test center)
2) launch the design center
– you will see a new design form
3) drag and drop a button widget (do not make any changes to its properties)
4) click the green (>) button in the design form editor
– a dialog will open ask you to save the file. Save the file to your system’s tmp directory or similar directory with the name test.mobij. The directory should be on a local disk without any special services using it such as dropbox or other file sharing/backup behaviors.
– you should see the Test Center open and your user interface displayed with no errors or warnings.

Does this simple scenario work for you?

Hi

I will try that, sorry that I cant explain better.

The thing is that i have created a startpage and saved it as you suggested and it has worked for a while.
Then I just get this message that I have shown a Picture off! That is the issue I dont understand.

>Then I just get this message that I have shown a Picture off! That is the issue I dont understand.

The error msg in the screenshot tells the story. It indicates that it is attempting to write the file manifest.cache but that file appears to be already in use by another program or the file system will not allow the file to be overwritten by mobione as it generates html code for your Design Center user interface.

Note: that Run in Test Center action generates html and related files for the current UI design. During the code generation process files and directories are created. You should not do anything that impedes this process such as making files/dirs hidden or read-only or using other developer tools that aggressively lock files that are opened by it.

Some questions:

1) you using some other editor/ide/program to open the cache.manifest file or other generated html project files?
1a) what antivirus software are you running and is it possibly trapping and locking the manifest file. You can test this by doing the following:
a) in the simple test (prev reply) on the main screen properties disable offline support property before you generate any code. This will prevent the cache.manifest file from being generated.

2) is your project saved to a local filesystem that has no special services such as dropbox replication or other…?

Hi Wayne.

Sorry, i apologize that i seem supid. But I dont understand, I’m new at this and I seem to make some bad error when i change pages and so on.
But I’m not doing any big Changes and that is way I dont get it.
If it happens next time, can i send you my files to you and mybe you can look in to it and see what’s wrong?

Hi Rayan,

I assume that you changed the read only attr and your problem is solved. That’s great!

>If it happens next time, can i send you my files to you and mybe you can look in to it and see what’s wrong?
Yes, feel free to post any tech support question and we will evaluate and try to help you as much as we can, if we can’t get to the root of problem without seeing your files, we will request them to look deeper.
