SetVariableAction error

Maybe adjust the error message for future users. (Also a small typo: Error creatiing shared link -> Error creating shared link.)

Mmmh, com.install4j... seems to indicate the error is due to (or happens in) the launcher created by the installer. It's really strange because it is completely independant from the Dropbox code of course. Or maybe the Exception occurs down inside Dropbox code and bubbles up to the launcher. It's strange anyway because the installer seems to complain about about setting a variable...

If the issue can be reproduced, could you please shutdown Ginj and restart it with "ginj.exe /create-i4j-log" ? It should tell you where the log will be created and, once the error is reproduced, you can post the log here (there shouldn't be much personal information in it, but I would advise you to review it before posting anyway).

Finally, I'm not sure what you mean by "email address was not verified yet". Dropbox (or Google, or many others) authorization uses OAuth2. Initial authorization works by generating a random "challenge" number and forwarding you to a Dropbox page with that challenge. Then you complete the authorization process at Dropbox and it finished by sending back a response containing an authenthorization token which is "the key" (+ a refresh token, because authorization tokens have a validity of a few hours). So the e-mail address is not needed in authentication/authorization (only the token is), but as soon as Ginj gets authorized, it displays user information (name and e-mail) so that the account can be identified and "labeled" (in case you have different accounts, like personal and professional). I mean, the email address is not used for verification at any time. And if there was an issue getting this basic information, I guess uploading would fail for sure, so I don't think it's an authorization issue but more a silly mistake of mine :-).

So it would be great if you could provide more detailed steps to reproduce the issue (don't hesitate to post screenshots here, now that you have a working tool - sort of :-))

I could reproduce it continuously because my new generated dropbox account needed the email verification. (Verify your account to complete your registration message) It can be replicated by creating a new dropbox account but yet not verify the email you get in your emailbox where you signed up with.

I already started with logging on and thats where I found the error log I posted.

Dropbox issue: Oh, OK, I can see the issue now. You are attempting to link Ginj with a not-yet-activated Dropbox account. That is definitely a corner case :-) but I will try to reproduce it in the next few days. I'm opening dedicated issue #9 about it.

As for the other error, I think it's completely unrelated. The part showing the error is the code responsible for auto-updating. I found the variable in question but it was auto-generated and I didn't see anything obvious in the installer. Found a few references about that error on Google but not really the same context, or no solution... Could you launch Ginj normally and see if it prompts you to update or not ? If it does, does the auto-update complete (the "About" box should show 0.3.5 then) ? If not, can you update manually, restart with the logging option and see if the message is still there ? Thanks for your help.

[Creamers158]

After starting Ginj again it started the update procedure. Worked like a charm and showing 0.3.5. Question though, as I normally never restart my laptop (sleep/hybernate) or Gin, will it alert me if an update is available to start this process :) ?

[vicnevicne]

OK. Good to know update worked as intended. I don't have any integration of update mechanism inside Ginj yet. I might add it in the future but it's not in hi-priority list as it works more or less :-) Can you check if you still have the message in the logs with that new version ? Thanks.

I restarted using the log mode. Looking at i4j_log_Ginj_1136046605085591620.log it still gives this error:

[ERROR] com.install4j.runtime.beans.actions.control.SetVariableAction [ID 278]: Execute action not successful after 3 ms

Looking at i4j_nlog_5.log it shows this: [1:682] load helper dll [1:684] helper dll 0000000180000000 C:\Program Files\Ginj..install4j\i4jinst.dll [1:732] setting exe4j.moduleName to C:\Program Files\Ginj\Ginj.exe [1:733] main class: com/install4j/runtime/launcher/WinLauncher [1:734] expanding2 ${launcher:sys.launcherDirectory} to C:\Program Files\Ginj\ in C:\Program Files\Ginj\error.log.

I think the Share button it should not show the Manage again. Managing and setting upload targets can be done at config level. Now I sometimes 'miss click' as I want to upload. M2c

[vicnevicne]

Regarding the SetVariableAction error, unless it is blocking something for you, I would put the issue in low priority. Is it OK for you ? And regarding the Share button, I agree that it is strange to have two ways to reach Target Configuration but that was the way Jing did it (just I didn't have time to work on the "round wrench" button). Can you open a dedicated issue regarding this ?

Oh, and in the meantime, I can give you a secret trick to try:

• exit Ginj
• open the following file in a text editor: %USERPROFILE%\.Ginj\settings.properties
• add the followng line: use.small.buttons.for.online.target=true
• save the file
• restart GInj What do you think ?

[Creamers158]

Sure, I've no problem with this. So far it works for me.

Nice!!!
