Problems with upgrading from 5.1.18 to 5.1.20

[Pauline]

Hiya,

I'm trying to upgrade my standalone tiddlywiki to 5.1.20 using:

https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html

The downloaded file also contains the upgrade wizard which I am not able to close. I have tried upgrading in Chrome & Firefox with the same results. I have tried Save As & well as just clicking the "Save upgraded TiddlyWiki file" link. In all cases I wind up with an unwanted Upgrade Wizard as part of my tiddlywiki.

I am upgrading from 5.1.18.

Also $:/core isn't checked in the upgrade list. The note says: "Blocked plugin (due to incoming 5.1.18 being older than existing 5.1.20)"

Is there a problem with the upgrade wizard? Or am I doing something stupid?

Many thanks,

P

Hi Pauline,

I upgraded using Firefox with no problem. You must save using the "Save upgraded TiddlyWiki file" link. After upgrading your wiki, close https://tiddlywiki.com/upgrade.html.

Drag your wiki to a tab in the browser.

Older $:/core should be blocked, you wouldn't want that, after all you are upgrading ;-)

Same thing happens if you have overwritten any of the core tiddlers, you will get a warning.

Better luck next time,

Birthe

Hiya Birthe,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately what works for you, doesn't for me. As I said in my post, the "Save upgraded TiddlyWiki file" link generates a tiddlywiki which includes the upgrade wizard. Nothing odd about my setup, Win7 64 bit, latest FF & Chrome (new install), IPv6.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to the source of the problem?

Cheers,

P

Hi Pauline, the problem you describe has happened to others before - and it was because they used the wrong steps. Could you describe each step in detail. I'll describe it as it is supposed to be done:

Have your outdated copy on your drive.

Go to the upgrade page.

Drag the file onto the circle or click the circle and select your file.

In the presented checklist, don't touch anything.

...just click Upgrade button

This switches over to the big green Save button, which you also click.

I suggest you save it with another name so it is not confused with any previous file.

Hi Mat,

That is exactly what I am doing. I have discovered what is going on. There are two downloads for every "upgrade", one generated automatically & another when you hit the big green save button. The auto generated one is wonky with added upgrade wizard badness. The big green button one is ok. Behaviour in Chrome is the same as FF, though for some reason there is an extra space in the generated filename. Looks like on my fs - larger files have the upgrade wizard added:

foo@wirrambi /cygdrive/c/Users/foo/Downloads
$ ls -alt upgrad*
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 3716503 Aug 11 17:36 'upgrade (2).html'
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 17400292 Aug 11 17:36 'upgrade (1).html'
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 3716503 Aug 11 17:28 'upgrade(3).html'
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 17400292 Aug 11 17:28 'upgrade(2).html'
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 3716503 Aug 11 15:14 'upgrade(1).html'
-rwxrwx---+ 1 foo bar 17400292 Aug 11 15:14  upgrade.html

Anyway I am happily back to all things upgraded tiddlywiki. Thanks for the responses. Let me know if I need to guinea pig a solution. This quirk would be uber annoying for non tech. people who would assume the first download is the correct file.

Cheers,

P
