View Full Version : Possible subtle bug in the FTP distribution

SB 6.7.2083

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

1. Open a project
2. Compile and distribute the install to the FTP server
3. Close the project
4. Open another project
5. Click <Build> <Distribute to FTP Server> (Do not compile it first)

Step 5 naturally assumes this is a project that was previously opened and
compiled.

SB behaves as though it is uploading the install from the previous project.
I say this because the install from the first project is quite large and
second install is rather small in comparison. The time it takes for the
second upload is about the same as the time it took for the first upload and
the name of the file on the SB task bar does not change to that of the
installer that was opened.

Here is where it gets interesting. Regardless of what SB uploaded, it never
got there. Whatever was uploaded went into cyber space as I am unable to
find it anywhere on my server even though SB informs me the upload was
successful.

If your results are the same as mine, is this expected or could it be an
issue?

Thanks.

Hi Lee,

I can reproduce it and is definitely an issue! In the second upload
process, the files where uploaded to the "root" of the (previously used) FTP
server.

Fixed now, thank you. And the compiler window displays the server
information now to make it more transparent.

You have no idea how good that makes me feel. At least this time it wasn't
ME doing something STUPID....

I can confirm the root folder. That's where it was found. I just didn't go
up the folder tree far enough.

Thanks.

It was a stupid programming error :) I forgot to "free" the FTP Upload
queue.

The new SetupBuilder was already code complete, but this fix will make it
into the new build. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
