Hi @adam

just tried to upgrade to 4.0.0 and the server won’t start anymore with following error.

with the default settings it doesn’t have this problem, so I believe I use settings within the appsettings that doesn’t work anymore.

Windows authentication is enabled with authentication.ps1 instead of the appsettings.
Git two-way sync is enabled and saved within the db

    "GrpcPort": 0
  }

was added between 3.9.4 and 4.0.0 without me realizing :slight_smile:

After got the server running, one problem remains, Windows authentication won’t work anymore.

EDIT:
After several tries, I got it working.
Update-PSUServer did not work, so I had to remove it first and install it fresh, which also removed the Windows service and I forgot the service had to use the gms account in order that the windows auth works.

Also, the server will take a few minutes to boot up, and I wasn’t patient enough the first tries.

Is that really the full change log? Should there be more, or should we read through all the beta change logs? There also doesn’t seem to have been a beta change log since beta 3 on 5/9. Have there been more changes?

I agree that there should be a total changelog, and that the changes are missing from the changelog page.
You can find changelogs on all of the beta’s on the release page here

The VSCode plugin seems to be partially broken. When i try to view Dashboards (now apps) and frameworks It errors out with these messages

The API and Automation dropdowns work correctly.

The configuration dropdown seems to be broken as well It’s treating each ps1 like a folder

Plugin version is 3.1.0

Looking at the logs page to see if there are any errors there, and it seems like it has all events set to whatever time it was when the page is loaded/refreshed

Logs_timestamp

EDIT:

Seems like my apps aren’t loading now. I just get a blank white page. No errors in the app log or playform/logging though. They are listed in the stopped state and I can’t start them. I’m rolling back my snapshot to a working condition

EDIT2:
My git sync is broken now. I do one way and didn’t disable it before upgrading and it is erroring about changes made in the repo that are not available locally. Tip, disable git sync before upgrading! haha

Cloned my Universal server and tested the upgrade again outside of prod. Still having issues with the VSCode Plugin not working correctly. Recreated the app token and still get the same error.

Can you try upgrading to the 4.0 VS Code plugin and let me know if that still happens?

Is there a different place to get the 4.0 version other than through the extensions inside of VSCode?

I see there is a 4.0 changelog, but I guess it isn’t available on the marketplace yet

20 min later and it showed up. The Apps section is working correctly now.

The configuration section still seems to be treating each ps1 as a folder instead of a file

Ok. I opened and issue to track that: Configuration files do nto show up properly in the VS Code extension · Issue #2467 · ironmansoftware/issues · GitHub
