I have a very basic Rails application that has some standard scaffolded CRUD resources that worked just fine. All of a sudden, and I can't figure out why, the "form_for"s are no longer saving or updating the DB. However, everything works just fine in console. I am getting no errors -- just a redirect back to the 'new' page because of an unsuccessful save attempt. I've restarted servers, restarted everything, bundled again, migrated, etc. Nothing seems to work. How can I debug this issue?
Try temporarily changing #model.save to #model.save! in one of the relevant controllers.
This tells Rails to throw an exception if saving fails, instead of it's usual approach (redirecting to new, usually). Most likely you have a validation error, but whether or not that's the case, if you do this, you'll get an actual description of the error that occurred when the controller tried to save your updated model. That should give you somewhere to start debugging.

I have been attempting to register a OneDrive File Handler as demonstrated on GitHub.
My initial PUT seems to work but I get very flaky results when I attempt to update. I have one domain where the handler works fine but another where I get these problems:
refresh works first time but not subsequently
refresh seems to work but handler not evident in OneDrive
change and update handler but changes not seen when I refresh
Is there any way to work out what is going on? The responses I get in Postman indicate that everything has worked but the file handler is not working.
Here are some observations which may help anyone else who stumbles on this:
the forceRefresh requests seems very patchy, I can make a change in the handler manifest and only some hours later will forceRefresh actually return the changed manifest
don't make the silly mistake I did and change the version in the handler manifest to something other than 2. If you do this the manifest will upload successfully but your handler will never appear. An error response would be much nicer than a silent fail.
I often find that even once forceRefresh has worked the new handler does not appear in my browser. To fix this I go to Local Storage (in the browser dev tools) and remove the entry for 'fileHandlerCache', then do a refresh.
BTW, handlers seem like a great way to extend OneDrive but I have found the developer experience to be pretty rough. Any chance of a smoother ride?
I am suddenly getting the error: "Unable to locate persister for the entity named 'MyLib.Project'."
I did not make any code changes to this project since the last time I published it. The reason I went into the code to look at it is because a user reported that the web page that utilizes this library was giving an error. I have also checked the eager loading of the provider as per (NHibernate - Random occurrences of "Unable to locate persister") but I am already eagerly loading.
Furthermore, I even changed my data provider configuration to:
.Mappings(Function(x) x.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf(Of Project)())
I stepped through the code and actually saw it find the Project mapping and step through it. There are no exceptions thrown while building the provider, but yet the web app still fails when I try to fetch a Project from the DB.
Update
I have tested this same exact code with a desktop application and it works perfectly fine. It seems to me the problem must be with NHibernate and the Web Application. Does anyone have any ideas about this specifically?
The answer to this, of course, is that I made a mistake.
I had two session factories in use in the same program and I passed a session from the wrong factory to one of my functions. So the error is correct, because the session it was passed was unaware of the Project type. I found this out eventually by looking at the Connection property of the session I was querying through.
Hopefully this helps someone else who may have made the same mistake.
I have a site built using MVC4 which is getting content out of a database and it all works fine.
If I then rebuild the solution and try to refresh the page to check my changes, I will always get the SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 saying that I cannot connect to the server.
However, if I then browse to my homepage and then back to the page I was looking at it will work fine.
Does anyone know what could cause this problem as it is really annoying
EDIT
Further to this I have found it is when the AuthorizationContext filterContext is being loaded after the rebuild that it cannot connect to the db
EDIT 2
As with neil below I have found that I only get the problem if I try to access a page that has had a role assigned to it
I'm seeing the exact same problem and can trace it to the .ASPXAUTH session cookie in the browser. Delete that cookie and the database error goes away until the next rebuild.
The error occurs regularly if you are authenticated and then rebuild the project and try to browse any page that either:
Requires authentication
Makes a call to the User object (e.g. #if (User.IsInRole("Administrators")))
If you have the AuthorizeAttribute filter set in App_Start/FilterConfig.cs you'll get this on every page.
This seems to be new behavior following the most recent Patch Tuesday updates. Previously, I was seeing weird behavior where I would remain logged in but I would loose my roll membership. After the most recent patches, it seems Simple Membership chokes when it gets a bad .ASPXAUTH cookie (invalid because of the rebuild).
I've got the correct connection string in InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute.cs but it's like Simple Membership is defaulting to something else in this one instance.
Note that I've moved the Simple Membership databases from the original (localDb) to a full-fledged (local) SQL Server instance. Don't know why that would matter, and it works fine in all other cases.
Update:
I've also tried making the connection string name the same as the EF context name (e.g. "ProjectContext") on the theory that it is defaulting to the standard convention, but that made no difference. I am explicitly identifying the connection string name in all my context class constructors (using the : base("connectionString") syntax) and Simple Membership is able to find the right connection string all other times.
Update 2:
The problem only occurs after rebuild when accessing a page protected by role. A simple [Authorize] won't trigger it. You need something like [Authorize(Role="Admin")]. I've replicated this on a new MVC 4 project with no other modifications, using the default (localDb) database. Clear the cookie and that same user can access the protected content w/o any problems. I believe this is a core .NET or MVC bug and needs to be reported as such.
This happened to me while rebuilding the application when I was logged in the browser.
Deleting cookies fixed the problem for me.
When using SimpleMembership, this bug occurs with any use of Roles-not just in the controller, but also when I use:
if(Roles.IsUserInRole(rolename){...
I am late to the game with this answer, but I added [InitializeSimpleMembership] to my home controller and I think that fixed it.
I'm working on a site and to help catch errors that we may not hear about, I've created a custom 500 error page.
This page basically records information about the current situation and logs it including the following:
Request.Servervariables("URL")
But, the log seem to actually be providing information about the location of the error.asp file instead of the actual file causing the error. And it doesn't seem to pick up Server.GetLastError().
Any ideas on how to ensure these scripts pick up the errors and deatils about the page causing the error and not the page that is used for 500 errors?
NOTE: When there's an error, the url in the address bar is always the address fo the page causing the error, but the log shows the error handler page 'error.asp'.
I would follow what Dee said, but also be aware that there was something finicky with IIS7 (or 7.5). I can't remember exactly, but you have to do something special to make sure it works on IIS7. Check out this article. IIS7 breaks the server.getlasterror and there is a workaround provided.
Also a cool thing to do is to email yourself those errors. So in your custom 500 asp script just fire off an email with the details. Depends on how critical errors are to your program, but it's good to be in the loop rather than have another log to worry about.
When selenium tries to open popup window I'm getting JS error permission denied in file
file:///C:/DOCUME~1//LOCALS~1/Temp/customProfileDir8708f7f69e14482ba857f4b2e74775c1/core/RemoteRunner.hta
So this break script execution, could you assist? I saw a related topic at MSDN and openqa but didn't find resolution that could help me.
I've just encountered this error. In the end it was because I was running IE in 'Offline' mode. Open the File menu and make sure that "Work Offline" does not have a tick next to it.
I've just updated a section about that in the Selenium docs. The website build is not working right now, so if you go to the site you will find the old version.
I'll paste the raw text here, I think your case is the second: JS trying to access sections that are still not loaded, so your solution would be a waitForPopUp command:
Why am I getting a permission denied
error?
The most common reason for this error
is that your session is attempting to
violate the same-origin policy by
crossing domain boundaries (e.g.,
accesses a page from http://domain1
and then accesses a page from
http://domain2) or switching protocols
(moving from http://domainX to
https://domainX). For this to be
solved, try using the Heightened
Privileges Browsers if you're working
with the Proxy Injection browsers.
This is covered in some detail in the
tutorial. Make sure you read the
sections about The Same Origin Policy
and Proxy Injection carefully.
If the previous situation was not your
case, it can also occur when
JavaScript attempts to look at
objects which are not yet available
(before the page has completely
loaded), or tries to look at objects
which are no longer available (after
the page has started to be unloaded).
This is most typically encountered
with AJAX pages which are working with
sections of a page or subframes that
load and/or reload independently of
the larger page. For this type of
problem, it is common that the error
is intermittent. Often it is
impossible to reproduce the problem
with a debugger because the trouble
stems from race conditions which are
not reproducible when the debugger's
overhead is added to the system. Try
first adding a static pause to make
sure this is the situation and then
moving on to the waitFor kind of
commands.
