[web2py] Re: app not working after install 2.8.2 is_mobile error
I just ran into this same error using the auto-update to come up to 2.8.2. I was able to find this solution, but it did cost me about 1.5 hours of figuring out what was wrong. Not so bad in the grand scheme of things, but maybe the auto-update interface in the admin app could include some way of presenting a list of changes and/or known issues. It could just be a link to a pdf version or something, downloaded on-demand from the repo. But having that link there (maybe with a warning to read it) will likely help folks like me to avoid a headache. It's not so much that I can't do the search on the list here before upgrading. It's that I didn't know there would be a reason to search for such discussions. Having that prominent placement of the changes/issues will also (I suspect) save you time helping people with questions like this one. But thanks for the time you do spend helping on this list. Your answer here saved me many more hours of frustration :) Cheers, Ian On Friday, December 6, 2013 9:38:25 PM UTC-5, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: You missed a few threads discussing this. ;-) You need to clear/remove the sessions.

Massimo: I feel really scared reading this. In fact, I haven't upgraded to the latest version yet, partly because exactly what you said. I haven't kept up with this reading list, and I am afraid that after the upgrade my apps won't work because I fail to do certain things that are discussed in the this reading list. Can you please enforce a policy that all things that we need to do after an upgrade would be listed in CHANGES? Thanks.

I searched for one as well but just took the risk because I backed up my apps. however I do propose that the upgrade script includes clearing out sessions and cache this will save a lot time and questions. Also the impact should be mentioned. For example the foreign key error a lot of us are having.

Oops... sorry I didn't catch that I could have thought of that myself :( thanks massimo!
