Hi,I tested in MacOSX and I was not able to reproduce your problem.Could you please be more specific listing the steps or better register a screencast? I tried editing an existing report and then later create an new one and editing/saving. Both Save and Save All button worked fine.In the meanwhile I will try with the windows x64 package into a Windows 7 local VM I have.Regards,Massimo.

Confirmed it works fine also in Windows 7 x64. I'll try to test into a Windows 8.1 installation if I can find one.In the meanwhile update the issue with your details. Thanks.

Hi Massimo

 

100% reproducible in my environment for me.

Steps to reproduce:

1 open 5.5.1

2 open any .jrxml

3 make some edit - file tab has * to indicate changed.

4 try to save - exception is thrown and file is not saved.

5 also tried saveas and closing application when prompts to save is shown - file is NEVER saved.

 

 

I've attached screen grab of console when exception is thrown - sorry I have not yet found out how to log to file.

 

Very eager to hep with resolution - new project looming that will need Studio.

 

Regards David

 

Hi Massimo

 

Small update - savas does save a new file.

However, the saved file only ever contains the text 'FILE' and is not a copy of the original.

Just tested on W7x32 virtual machine - seems to be OK.

I have a second 'clean' W8.1 physical machine - I'll try install there and report back.

Thanks for feedback. As soon as I can I will test into a Windows 8.1 environment.Next time you create a bug you can use the "Help > Send feedback on Jaspersoft Studio" menu or the "Bug" button on the top toolbar, from there you will be able to send also files.You can find the Studio log inside the folder: \.metadata\.logRegards,Massimo.

Looking at the error you have, for some reason it's not able to retrieve the version number for JR. Not sure why this is happening only in Windows 8.1.

Try to modify from the "Window > Preferences > Jaspersoft Studio > Version" the combo value. Try to set the 5.5.0 for example. And then test if it works the save action. If it does, then try to switch back to the "Last Version (5.5.1)" value. Keep in mind that this setting can be applied at workspace level, as I explained above, or even at Project or file level (via item properties). First give it a try like this.

 

Let me know.

Regards,

Massimo.

Hi Massimo

I did as you suggested and changed version to 5.5.0 - problem fixed, files save just fine.

If I switch back to 5.5.1, the problem returns - and the exception is thrown.

 

Good news is that I now have a work around. I'm just about to try out on a second w8x64 machine - I let you know the results.

 

David

 

I just checked the log - whilst there is some information there, the exception reported is not - this is only visible in the console when this is enabled by adding -consoleLog to the 'Jaspersoft Studio.ini' file.

 

David

OK - Maybe a clue to the source of the problem..

 

I tried on a second W8x64 machine - very quick test - but seemed to be OK with all default install options.

 

I then went back to the original machine, renamed my original JaspersoftWorkspace (created during original 5.5.0 install) to JaspersoftWorkspaceOld. I then uninstalled the Studio and reinstalled with all default options so a 'clean' JaspersoftWorkspace directory was created. The system now works just fine with all the default options.

 

It looks like some setting in JaspersoftWorkspace is not being correctly updated when updating from 5.5.0 -> 5.5.1.

 

HTH

Have you tried running 5.5.1 as an Admin to make sure it's wasn't a Windows security permission issue?

Just to confirm- - I have this exact same issue with JSS 5.5.1 on OS X 10.9.1. Changing the "Version" to 5.5.0 fixes the problem for me.

#hozawa

Running as admin made no difference.

 

#bhutten

The solution for me was to rename my original JaspersoftWorkspace directory to JaspersoftWorkspaceOld and reinstall 5.5.1 after which everything worked correctly.

 

David

Eclipse may be looking at the old files in cache. Have you tried starting Jaspersoft Studio using "Jaspersoft Studio -clean"

Changed Resolution from Open to Fixed

Changed Status from Feedback Requested to Resolved

I've implemented a fix for this. If that compatibility property is not found then we can assume as valid the LAST_VERSION. This should avoid any further NPE problems.
