Play app failing with no exception thrown - playframework-2.1

I have a play application running on a linux server. The play application handles an ajax request, the controller code that handles the request :
public static Result getStorageId() {
final String host = request().username();
logger.debug("get storage id from origin:" + host);
Promise<Product> promiseProduct = Akka.future(new Callable<Product>() {
#Override
public Product call() throws Exception {
Partner partner = PartnerModel.getPartner(host);
logger.debug("Partner origin:" + partner.getHost());
** Product productCase = ProductsModel.createProduct();
logger.debug("product created. id:" + productCase.getId());
return productCase;
}
});
return async(promiseProduct
.map(new Function<Product, Result>() {
#Override
public Result apply(Product product) {
return ok();
}
}));
}
The ProductsModel.createProduct() code is
public static Product createProduct(){
logger.debug("creating new product");
Product product = new ProductImpl();
saveProduct(product);
return product;
}
The issue is when an ajax request made the app reaches line ** and stops but there's no error indicated in the application.log file nor in the play console. The debug statement in the first line of createProduct() method is not executed. The app is still running as I can make another ajax request and see the log statement before line **.
I did try "play run" hoping that it might give more info since it runs in debug mode but no luck.
My local development copy works fine. Another thing, I had this issue before and as a desperate attempt I just create a new class "ProductTestModel" with the same functionality as ProductsModel and used it instead of ProductsModel (ie on line ** it goes Product productCase = ProductTestModel.createProduct() ) deployed it and everything worked. Now after several releases I get this problem again.
I'm using GIT to distribute the code to the server and have play compile the app there. Running play clean compile shows no errors.
So what could be the problem?

I found out the root cause of my problem. It's actually a stupid thing, I forgot to include a conf file. Where the code was failing that object was using that conf file.
Talk about hours being wasted!!

Unable to create a Role using RoleManager in Blazor Serverside

I had some code using the RoleManager that I had copied from an MVC project to create roles in a Blazor project.
It compiles okay but when I step through the code it gets to that line and then appears to throw and exception, as it doesn't ever go to the next line. I am unable to catch an exception though.
Since my code didn't work I found code on the web and it behaved the same, so I changed how it was injected and I got a different error, so I found a third way of doing it and that too gets to the line that tests to see if there is a role already existing and blows up.
Here is the latest attempt
[Inject]
IServiceProvider services {get;set;}
public async Task Initialize()
{
using (var roleManager = services.GetRequiredService<RoleManager<IdentityRole>>())
{
string proRole = "Pro";
if (!await roleManager.RoleExistsAsync(proRole))
{
var temp = await roleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole { Name = proRole });
}
}
}
And it blows up on the awaited if statement.
Here is the previous code that should work that doesn't.
string proRole = "Pro";
string proClientRole = "ProClient";
if (!await _roleManager.RoleExistsAsync(proRole))
{
var temp = await _roleManager.CreateAsync(new IdentityRole { Name = proRole });
}
which is inside of a method.
I also had it as #{code in the Razor file and after an hour of trying different things there I moved it to a base class because they have been more stable in the past.
It is not the database connection because that is well verified and also because UserManager is called in the same class and it work
I also tried this code (Blazor Role Management Add Role trough UI (Crud)) both suggestions.
This is one bad thing about Blazor for me is it is buggy I never know if it is my bad, or just something wrong with the latest greatest. But I am assuming it is my bad in this case.
Anyway any help would be much appreciated, I am way too many hours on this,
I copy/pasted the same code to the "/" page and it works there.
For some reason it wouldn't work in a component loaded into a component but the standard Role code works as expected in the "/" page.
Most likely I should have restarted my computer as it now works in the original location too.

Flutter test - verifying assets exist

I have a flutter app which contains a large list of quotes, each with an associated audio file.
I've written a simple test that verifies all the specified audio files are where they're supposed to be, in case of typos etc:
test('specified audio file should exist for all quotes', () {
ALL_QUOTES.forEach((quote) {
final expectedPath = 'assets/${quote.filename}.wav';
final exists = new File(expectedPath).existsSync();
expect(exists, isTrue, reason: '$expectedPath does not exist');
});
});
This passes fine in IntelliJ, however running from the command line using flutter test it fails on the first thing it looks for.
Is there a way of doing this which will work regardless of how it's run? Why does it pass one way but not the other?
Ok so I got to the bottom of this, and it is something you can do in a unit test.
To diagnose, I added the line print(Directory.current); to the test. Running in IntelliJ, I get /home/project_name. From the command line, it's /home/project_name/test. So just a simple file path thing to resolve.
Edited to include Ovidiu's simpler logic for getting the right asset path
void main() {
test('specified audio file should exist for all quotes', () {
ALL_QUOTES.forEach((quote) {
final expectedPath = 'assets/${quote.filename}.wav';
final exists = _getProjectFile(expectedPath).existsSync();
expect(exists, isTrue, reason: '$expectedPath does not exist');
});
});
}
File _getProjectFile(String path) {
final String assetFolderPath = Platform.environment['UNIT_TEST_ASSETS'];
return File('$assetFolderPath/$path');
}

Cuploadfile instance not compared to null although no file instance is provided?

public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Patient('patientScenario');
if(isset($_POST['Patient']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['Patient'];
$model->image= CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'image');
if($model->save())
{
$imagePath = Yii::app()->params['DataFolder'];
if($model->image!="")
{
if(!(file_exists($imagePath)))
{
mkdir($imagePath,'0777',true);
}
}
$model->image->saveAs($imagePath.$model->id.'_'.$model->image->name);
$ns=new newserver(); $ns->uploadFile($filepath,$imagePath.$model->id.'_'.$model->image->name, $model->id.'_'.$model->image->name);
}
}}
It is a action with lot of codes I have simplified it to focus on the issue here.
The issue is while creating a patient, If I upload a image its working fine, But even though I don't upload an image the condition $model->image!="" became true and obviously there will be no file name and while trying to upload on the new server class I get
fopen(22522_): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I tried ($model->image!==NULL) as well. still getting the same error.
But it works fine in my localhost, But not in the server.
Your problem is on newserver() class
On that class you are tried to open a file .
Check condition before the file open on newserver() class
or give a code on newserver Class

The view or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations

Error like:The view 'LoginRegister' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/MyAccount/LoginRegister.aspx
~/Views/MyAccount/LoginRegister.ascx
~/Views/Shared/LoginRegister.aspx
~/Views/Shared/LoginRegister.ascx
~/Views/MyAccount/LoginRegister.cshtml
~/Views/MyAccount/LoginRegister.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/LoginRegister.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/LoginRegister.vbhtml
Actually my page view page is ~/Views/home/LoginRegister.cshtml so what i do
and my RouteConfig is
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "MyAccount", action = "LoginRegister", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
Be careful if your model type is String because the second parameter of View(string, string) is masterName, not model. You may need to call the overload with object(model) as the second parameter:
Not correct :
protected ActionResult ShowMessageResult(string msg)
{
return View("Message",msg);
}
Correct :
protected ActionResult ShowMessageResult(string msg)
{
return View("Message",(object)msg);
}
OR (provided by bradlis7):
protected ActionResult ShowMessageResult(string msg)
{
return View("Message",model:msg);
}
Problem:
Your View cannot be found in default locations.
Explanation:
Views should be in the same folder named as the Controller or in the Shared folder.
Solution:
Either move your View to the MyAccount folder or create a HomeController.
Alternatives:
If you don't want to move your View or create a new Controller you can check at this link.
In Microsoft ASP.net MVC, the routing engine, which is used to parse incoming and outgoing URL Combinations, is designed with the idea of Convention over Configuration. What this means is that if you follow the Convention (rules) that the routing engine uses, you don't have to change the Configuration.
The routing engine for ASP.net MVC does not serve web pages (.cshtml). It provides a way for a URL to be handled by a Class in your code, which can render text/html to the output stream, or parse and serve the .cshtml files in a consistent manner using Convention.
The Convention which is used for routing is to match a Controller to a Class with a name similar to ControllerNameController i.e. controller="MyAccount" means find class named MyAccountController. Next comes the action, which is mapped to a function within the Controller Class, which usually returns an ActionResult. i.e. action="LoginRegister" will look for a function public ActionResult LoginRegister(){} in the controller's class. This function may return a View() which would be by Convention named LoginRegister.cshtml and would be stored in the /Views/MyAccount/ folder.
To summarize, you would have the following code:
/Controllers/MyAccountController.cs:
public class MyAccountController : Controller
{
public ActionResult LoginRegister()
{
return View();
}
}
/Views/MyAccount/LoginRegister.cshtml: Your view file.
In your LoginRegister action when returning the view, do below, i know this can be done in mvc 5, im not sure if in mvc 4 also.
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View("~/Views/home/LoginRegister.cshtml");
}
Check the build action of your view (.cshtml file) It should be set to content. In some cases, I have seen that the build action was set to None (by mistake) and this particular view was not deploy on the target machine even though you see that view present in visual studio project file under valid folder
This could be a permissions issue.
I had the same issue recently. As a test, I created a simple hello.html page. When I tried loading it, I got an error message regarding permissions. Once I fixed the permissions issue in the root web folder, both the html page and the MVC rendering issues were resolved.
Check whether the View (.ASPX File) that you have created is having the same name as mentioned in the Controller. For e.g:
public ActionResult GetView()
{
return View("MyView");
}
In this case, the aspx file should be having the name MyView.aspx instead of GetView.aspx
I got this error because I renamed my View (and POST action).
Finally I found that I forgot to rename BOTH GET and POST actions to new name.
Solution : Rename both GET and POST actions to match the View name.
If the problem happens intermittently in production, it could be due to an action method getting interrupted. For example, during a POST operation involving a large file upload, the user closes the browser window before the upload completes. In this case, the action method may throw a null reference exception resulting from a null model or view object. A solution would be to wrap the method body in a try/catch and return null. Like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Post(...)
{
try
{
...
}
catch (NullReferenceException ex) // could happen if POST is interrupted
{
// perhaps log a warning here
return null;
}
return View(model);
}
I had this same issue.
I had copied a view "Movie" and renamed it "Customer" accordingly.
I also did the same with the models and the controllers.
The resolution was this...I rename the Customer View to Customer1 and
just created a new view and called it Customer....I then just copied
the Customer1 code into Customer.
This worked.
I would love to know the real cause of the problem.
UPDATE
Just for grins....I went back and replicated all the renaming scenario again...and did not get any errors.
I came across this error due to the improper closing of the statement,
#using (Html.BeginForm("DeleteSelected", "Employee", FormMethod.Post))
{
} //This curly bracket needed to be closed at the end.
In Index.cshtml view file.I didn't close the statement at the end of the program. instead, I ended up closing improperly and ran into this error.
I was sure there isn't a need of checking Controller ActionMethod code because I have returned the Controller method properly to the View. So It has to be the view that's not responding and met with similar Error.
If you've checked all the things from the above answers (which are common mistakes) and you're sure that your view is at the location in the exceptions, then you may need to restart Visual Studio.
:(
In my case, I needed to use RedirectToAction to solve the problem.
[HttpGet]
[ControleDeAcessoAuthorize("Report/ExportToPDF")]
public ActionResult ExportToPDF(int id, string month, string output)
{
try
{
// Validate
if (output != "PDF")
{
throw new Exception("Invalid output.");
}
else
{
...// code to generate report in PDF format
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return RedirectToAction("Error");
}
}
[ControleDeAcessoAuthorize("Report/Error")]
public ActionResult Error()
{
return View();
}
I ran into this a while ago and it drove me crazy because it turned out to be simple. So within my View I was using a grid control that obtained data for the grid via an http request. Once the middle tier completed my request and returned the dataset, I received the same error. Turns out my return statement was 'return View(dataset);' instead of 'return Json(dataset);
I couldn't find any solution to this problem, until I found out the files didn't exist!
This took me a long time to figure out, because the Solution Explorer shows the files!
But when I click on Index.cshtml I get this error:
So that was the reason for this error to show. I hope this answer helps somebody.

Trouble Attaching File Programmatically to Email in Windows Metro App C#/XAML using Share Charm

I'm simply trying to attach a file named Document.pdf in the DocumentsLibrary to an email using the Share Charm. My code below works perfectly on the Local Machine:
private async void OnDataRequestedFiles(DataTransferManager sender, DataRequestedEventArgs e)
{
List<IStorageItem> shares = new List<IStorageItem>();
StorageFile filetoShare = await Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary.GetFileAsync("Document.pdf");
if (filetoShare != null)
{
shares.Add(filetoShare);
filetoShare = null;
}
if (shares != null)
{
DataPackage requestData = e.Request.Data;
requestData.Properties.Title = "Title";
requestData.Properties.Description = "Description"; // The description is optional.
requestData.SetStorageItems(shares);
shares = null;
}
else
{
e.Request.FailWithDisplayText("File not Found.");
}
}
But when I run the exact same code on a Windows Surface Tablet, I get the dreaded "There's nothing to share right now." on the right in the Charms flyout area.
Here's a little more background to help:
I'm not looking to use a File Picker...I know the exact file I'm looking for
I've enabled the Documents Library Capability in the manifest
I've added a File Type Association for pdf in the manifest
and yes, the file does exist and is in the Documents Library
an email account is properly setup in the Mail App on the surface
I can successfully send text emails from the Tablet...just not emails with attachments
Like I said, this works on my Win 8 Development Machine as expected...just not on the Surface. I'm wondering if the Surface has different file or folder permissions?
Thanks for the help...this is driving me CRAZY
I finally figured it out - the problem was that my Event Handler was async (so that I could use await to set the StorageFile variable).
I solved it by setting the StorageFile variable earlier in my code so that it was already available when the Event Handler was called.
I still have no idea why it worked on my development machine, but no on the WinRT surface...
The handler can be an async method. In this case, it is critical to use DataTransferManager. Please refer to the MSDN page specifically for this scenario. For your convenience, the code from the page is copied to here:
private void RegisterForShare()
{
DataTransferManager dataTransferManager = DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView();
dataTransferManager.DataRequested += new TypedEventHandler<DataTransferManager,
DataRequestedEventArgs>(this.ShareStorageItemsHandler);
}
private async void ShareStorageItemsHandler(DataTransferManager sender,
DataRequestedEventArgs e)
{
DataRequest request = e.Request;
request.Data.Properties.Title = "Share StorageItems Example";
request.Data.Properties.Description = "Demonstrates how to share files.";
// Because we are making async calls in the DataRequested event handler,
// we need to get the deferral first.
DataRequestDeferral deferral = request.GetDeferral();
// Make sure we always call Complete on the deferral.
try
{
StorageFile logoFile =
await Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync("Assets\\Logo.png");
List<IStorageItem> storageItems = new List<IStorageItem>();
storageItems.Add(logoFile);
request.Data.SetStorageItems(storageItems);
}
finally
{
deferral.Complete();
}
}
It is critical to place the following statement before any async method is called:
DataTransferManager dataTransferManager = DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView();
You only have half a second to get the whole job done (getting the file, attaching...etc.). If the half-second deadline occurs you'll get this "driving crazy" message. Consider implementing some resumable logic and replace the message with "the attachment is being prepared please try again in a few seconds" (or else).
Your WinRT device might be just slower than your development machine. The latter just does the job before the deadline...
