In App Studio 8.105. I open a folder in the content area, delete an item (fex or htm file), close app studio, re-open app studio and the file is back. No indication that it had any trouble deleting it, and it stays gone until I leave and return into App Studio.

Same thing when I update the summary section of properties for a fex or htm page.

What the heck is going on here?

EDIT - It was the security. Got me again Smiler

all good now.

We're on 8105 here, and aren't having that happen to us. We can delete something just fine, leave AppStudio, then come back in and it's still gone.

Not sure what you are doing differently. Sorry man.


8.2.02M (production), 8.2.02M (test), Windows 10, all outputs.

In 8.0.08, after editing/saving a file, the updated date/time does not get updated until you quit/reopen. I recall something about deleting files but cannot reproduce as I don't use App Studio any more.

I went ahead and opened a case. I feel lucky today.

We see some strange stuff in App Studio.

For example, if you make a change to a fex and refresh the Portal, your changes don't take effect. We include "Dump" steps after each section to validate data and we comment/uncomment to view data.

What we found is if you clear the cache from the Admin Console it works and your changes show right away.

Must be some sort of caching issue. It doesn't happen too often, but at least once a day.

Try the following:
1) make a backup copy of the wfscom.xml from
c:\users\youruserid\appData\Roaming\Information builders
2) delete wfscom.xml
3) Uninstall AppStudio
4) Get the latest version 8105Series, in this case 8105M.
5) Install the latest version.
6 Copy the backup copy of wfscom.xml to
c:\users\youruserid\appData\Roaming\Information builders
6) Start App Studio
a) Create a simple fex
b) Try to delete the file.
7) The End

But why the need to delete and re-install?

Does the reporting server need to be updated to 8.1.05M before updating App Studio?
