v17 64-bit -- error opening datafile on MacOS file server

Hi all, We use a couple of very small databases in-house, where the datafile is stored on a file server (MacOS), and various people will periodically access the system and then quit. Just upgraded one of these to v17R6 64-bit (from v17R4 32-bit)    at startup a record is written into

Re: gitignore for projects

This is a great discussion of best practices and guidelines for 4D Projects and I hope others chime in. It’s a new world for many of us. I would like to start using Project Mode, but our apps have hundreds (maybe thousands) of highlight buttons, which are incompatible. If anyone has built an

Re: gitignore for projects

Hi Mike, No. What you call “root” is the folder whose top level contains both the 4D Project Database and its GIT local repository. See “Architecture of a 4D Project” at https://developer.4d.com/docs/en/Project/architecture.html In

Re: gitignore for projects

Jeremy, Are you ignoring root so you catch .4DB, .RSR, .4DL, etc.? On Fri, Jan 3, 2020 at 3:46 PM Mike Kerner wrote: > Hey Tom, > I read the blog post and the first thing I thought was that trying to > teach everyone how to use the CLI was not the wisest way to go. Getting > your brain wrapped

Re: gitignore for projects

Hey Tom, I read the blog post and the first thing I thought was that trying to teach everyone how to use the CLI was not the wisest way to go. Getting your brain wrapped around all of the things that happen in git (wait - why am I force-pushing after a rebase? How do I redact a repo?) is hard

RE: Web Area not visible

Hi, A combination of things solved my problems. 1) If you have multiple web areas on the same page, make sure that the have different variable and object names. 2) Be sure and define the variables for the URL and the Progress. Let me know if that works. Mitch

Re: gitignore for projects

In case you haven’t already seen it, there’s a great post on the 4D Blog on how to get started with 4D and GitHub. It’s a step-by-step listing covering the basics of getting a repository set up and working. Gitignore isn’t covered, but may be in an upcoming post. Here’s the link:

Re: gitignore for projects

and I see there is a discussion on the beta forum, so perhaps I should go over there. The reason for creating a .gitignore is because it won't do any harm if it exists and you use another LCS. In these days, it seems like git is the 400 kg gorilla, and subversion, etc. are not very popular. On

Re: gitignore for projects

Mike, Hi. It would probably not be appropriate for 4D to create a .gitignore as it can't assume that you will use Git as a repo. For Git you would want to exclude: /Project/DerivedData and possibly: /Logs On mac you would also want to exclude (this could be put in your global .gitignore file

gitignore for projects

It would be nice if when 4D exported a project, it created a .gitignore file, but since it does not, which files/folders are we excluding? -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few

RE: Web Area not visible

Hi Jeremy, First of all the best wishes for 2020 I have the same problem, I am interested in your solution, and sort of understand it, but not completely Some people say loading the content from disk with WA OPEN URL solves the problem, but I don't like this because of potential critical
