Current version of Arlima (3.1.beta.27) is not installable

[drawski]

After activating Arlima in admin panel, following error occurs:

Uncaught Exception: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Table 'ab_wordpress.ab_XXX_arlima_articlelist' doesn't exist' in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/Arlima/classes/WP/Facade.php:309

where XXX is the ID of current blog (site) in multisite installation.

Current version is 3.1.beta.41 . Please try again and let me know if the problem persists.

PS. remember that none of the "current" versions are in any way stable. We're getting close to a stable 3.1 version but I think it's a couple of weeks left..

I created a release for 3.1.beta.41 making it available for Composer: https://github.com/victorjonsson/Arlima/releases/tag/3.1.beta.41

Hi, To clarify what @drawski meant, the latest master of Arlima doesn't install itself properly as a WordPress plugin. We realize that master is in no way stable but we needed some of the code changes you've made to how File Include paths are handled since 3.0.beta.61.

The master branch worked fine when we tested it on our existing sites which had Arlima installed since before, but if we create a new site and activate the Arlima plugin /wp-admin/ fails with a 500 Internal Server error. I Just verified that this happens with 3.1.beta.41 also. The stacktrace:

[victorjonsson]

hm... okey. So you updated arlima from 3.0.beta61 to 3.1.beta.41 ?

[awikell]

Yes

[victorjonsson]

What wp version may I ask?

[drawski]

WordPress 3.9.3

[victorjonsson]

This is indeed interesting... I have some questions:

• Do you get exactly the same error (including stack trace) when activating 3.1.beta.41 from scratch, as you got when you upgraded from 3.0.beta.61?
• Do you have any code that alters the class wpdb somehow?
• How is you error reporting setup?

[victorjonsson]

I'm not sure if Arlima actually supports multi-site installations. I can reproduce this error by doing the following.

1. I have a multi-site installation with a couple of sites (wp 3.9.3)
2. Activate arlima for the entire network
3. Create a new site
4. Visit the new site.

Is this the same workflow that you have?

[drawski]

@victorjonsson Regarding your last question. Actually we know that Arlima throws errors while network activated so we always activate it on the site level. It was working... until now.

[victorjonsson]

First off. Arlima does not support a network wide installation. It creates a lot of mess and Arlima is not capable of cleaning up after itself when uninstalled. Arlima will now throw an exception if being installed network wide.

However, installing Arlima on individual sites in a multi-site network should not be any problem. The error log you attached implies that arlima is installed (according to wordpress) but that the install-function never has run, or that the database tables that gets created is removed. I have added a fix for this.

If you have installed arlima network wide you should first of all deactivate it in network admin before upgrading arlima to the latest version in the master branch.

[awikell]

Thanks for the response victor. We're going to try your latest master branch now. If this works, would you mind creating a release for 3.1.beta.43 with your commits from yesterday? We'd rather not have a reference to your master in our composer

[awikell]

@drawski and me have just confirmed that it works. Could you make a release for us? Thanks a lot for the quick response!

[chredd]

Creating a release for 3.1.beta43!

[drawski]

It works like a charm on multisite installation. Thanks a lot! I think we can close this issue @victorjonsson :)

[victorjonsson]

Great.
