• unable to import ExtLib local update site

    By Fero Kossuth 1 decade ago

    I think it is not related to recent changes (I have had problems with default  template from 8.5.1 server), or to extlib itself.

     

    Currently I am trying to import recent extlib release - I have extracted updateSite.zip into directory c:\temp\updateSite. Then in Update Site application I use "Import Local Update Site" action. In dialog I browse for site.xml. When I click OK, nothing happens.

    If I try "Import Features" action, I get error:

     

    Object variable not set (#91) in:  dlgimportsite: click (line 11)<-----  Additional Info:  C:\temp\updateSite\features\com.ibm.xsp.extlib.feature_8.5.2.201103291610NTF.jar
    
    
        Object variable not set (#91) in: &nbsp;dlgimportsite: click (line 11)&lt;----- &nbsp;Additional Info: C:\temp\updateSite\features\com.ibm.xsp.extlib.feature_8.5.2.201103291610NTF.jar</div>
    <p>
        The error may be related to fact, that name of field in dialog contains period (I think that is far from best practices of Notes development):</p>
    <p>
        Public Const ITEM_FEATURES_FILEPATH = &quot;features.filepath&quot;</p>
    <p>
        When I tried to debug the process, Notes clients hangs on progressbar functionality.</p>
    <p>
        &nbsp;</p>
    <p>
        Can anybody help with these problems?</p>

    The last time I tried, importing the Extlib update site via "Import local update site" worked for me. However, I'm creating the update site from an Eclipse workaround where I have checked out the Extlib plugins and features from the OpenNTF Subversion server (could not find instructions how to set this up in the latest Extlib release docs, but the first release contained them).

    What operating system are you using? I think the progress bar uses SWT and is not supported on the Mac.

      Sorry, I forgot to mention:

      Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit

      Notes 8.5.2 FP1

      Domino 8.5.2 FP1

       

      It might be related to my setup, but I did fresh reinstall of Notes about month ago.

    Import of local update site and features fails if Designer is open.

    My usual workflow is to open Deigner, then Notes client, if necessary. In this situation my attempts to use Update Site application failed silently on Java functions related to progress bar.

    I have closed Designer, and everything went OK.
