1.5.x -> 1.6.x -> 1.7.x issues

Support
#1

We have a very large application we need to keep on the 1.x line as migrating to 2.x is a complete nightmare and is basically infeasible. :frowning:

Today I updated from 1.5.x to 1.6.x - that went fine. Then I went to update to 1.7.x from 1.6.x and that did not go fine.

There are no breaking changes listed, however there seems to be one: theme location was apparently changed as starting the app on 1.7.x reveals that the theme changes can’t be found and the app tries to render with no CSS. :frowning:

Where do I need to move stuff to in order to get the app working on 1.7.x? :slight_smile:

Hi Jon

Perhaps this helps ? Themes directory moved?

That is for 2.x only.

#4

This was mentioned for 2.x, but might be valid for the 1.x too. Did you check ?

#5

There is no “frontend” directory at all in the 1.x line.

#6

Try to create a new project with the 1.7.x and then you will find out where they put the themes now ?

Hello Jon!

Jmix 1.7 does not include changes made to themes. You can find the changes made in version 1.7 here: GitHub · Where software is built.

Are you seeing errors in the web browser console or in the application logs? Do you have one extended theme or multiple themes?

#8

Just one (and the extension was done by someone at Haulmont, when we paid you guys to migrate from Cuba to Jmix as that migration was also a nightmare.)

There is an error in the app logs, and the main “error” is seeing that the app renders with no themeing, everything all on top of each other.

I’ll re-upgrade to 1.7 and post the error; it is fairly unhelpful.

I’ll post that shortly.

#9

Ok, it gets weirder. I re-ran the migration from 1.6.x to 1.7.x … and everything works.

This is odd, but I’ll it take it.
