FYI - Several Embarcadero services are currently unavailable
Lars Fosdal replied to Keesver's topic in General Help
Due to the supply chain disturbances, we had a 5 month delivery wait for servers and parts for a while, so I can relate to delays. The problems here are: - Lack of proper communication. "No news. Next update at ..." is better than silence! - Insufficient contingency planning? - Insufficient backup and recovery plans? - No plan B? There are many capable cloud hosting services that doesn't take forever to spin up a pack of servers. The cost might be high, sure - but so is the cost of losing the trust of your customers. -
AFAIK, there is no automatic deletion of these two services, unless someone intentionally delete their account.

Just to exemplify - I made a gist of your two versions of code. https://gist.github.com/LarsFosdal/76bf712c46b3b17d185984d5c0c74494/revisions Just say the word and I'll remove the gist again.

External code = good. External binaries = not so much... I am not saying it is a must, but it makes conversations easier to follow if they have dialog instead of many screenfuls of code. I am really fond of gists, since you can see the changes, fork them, etc. - and you don't need to log into GitHub to be able to see them.
-
Things like GitHub gists or PasteBin entries, are great ways of sharing walls of code.

That is indeed a good question. -

Well, it implied that Daniel did something wrong. I fail to see the humor. -

What is that supposed to mean? -

DocWiki is still down. GetIt is still down. Those are pretty crucial. -

@gioma I have both D11 and D12 installed. With the Parnassus plugins in both. You cannot share visual source code between the two versions. If you open your projects in D12 and save the changes, the forms (as well as other visual design components) can have added properties, which will not work with D11. This is not news. It has always been like this between major versions. That the GetIt servers are down is a problem for everybody, and not something this user forum can solve. -

LOL at the comments from @Ian Barker on the Delphi Community Discord - General Chat 😄 -
I've run into a D12 issue: The GetIt FastReports installer now installs to a user owned path! C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository\FastReport-2023.3\ It used to be: C:\Program Files (x86)\FastReports\ This is a problem because our build server doesn't see that path as it runs with a different AD user than the user that installed Delphi, and hence barfs when trying compile units that contain Fast Reports units. Has anyone found a good solution to this?
-
That nails it, then. The AllUsers flag appears to have no relationship with UseSharedFolders.
-
Can you find the GetIt .json package files there?
-
True. I wish I could get a look at the FmxLinux .json file for verification.
-
To me, it appears that AllUsers in .json file appear to override the UseSharedFiles in the registry, which seems a bit backward.
-
My C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository contains and my C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0\CatalogRepository So it is not quite consistent.
-
My local installation: TRUE Build server: TRUE
-
I stopped using that installer ages ago... but changing it manually is ok. But the real question is why the GetIt installer doesn't ask: Install for All users or Current user.
-
Ok, that makes sense and is a bit less of a hassle on the build server. Still miffed about the GetIt installer not giving me an option for all users, though.
-
Where in the "TOOL" menu?

We don't need the full version with source, nor am I a fan of binaries in git, and we are multiple developers + build server. I guess manual copying on the build server will be the go-to workaround until EMBT responds, but that also adds the need for manual installation of the design time packages. Someone made a bad decision on "hardcoding" the location of the CatalogRepository to a user-owned location for an IDE that is installed for all users.
-
That is indeed a possible path, but somewhat cumbersome.
-
They don't appear to offer an standalone Embarcadero version installer that matches the GetIt versions.
