I've just been struck by the same issue when upgrading to Version
1.94.6 (2011-03-27 18:20:38).
To be clear, this used to work, but does NOT work anymore:
form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('document', 'upload'))
This works on the current version:
form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('document', 'upload',
uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads')))
The problem is dal.py around line 4900. With SQLFORM.factory there is
no db._adapter.folder and, therefore, no path to specify a default
upload folder. It also seems that dal.py doesn't assume, nor have,
access to the request? Is there a way to restore the default for
SQLFORM.factory and maintain backward compatability?
