Problem updating version.json

1

replacing version.json 2022.2 with version 2023.4 and run fetch the following message appeared:

how can this be restored

2

This can be fixed by removing the hidden .alan directory in your project:

rm -r .alan

After that, run alan fetch again.

thanks, this worked however now this problem ha popped up:

users
	dynamic: .'Users'
		user-initializer: (
			'Type' = create 'User' ( )
		)
		passwords: .'Passwords'
			password-value: .'Data'.'Password'
			password-status: .'Data'.'Active'
				active: 'Yes' ( )
				reset: 'No' ( )
			password-initializer: (
				'Data' = ( )
			)
interfaces

ouput:

Model 'model'
/home/coder/project/models/model/application.alan:21:5 to 21:12 error: unexpected keyword `active:` while making a decision for stategroup 'has steps' of !'object path tail'. Options:

	- keyword `(`               for state 'no'
	- keyword `.`               for state 'yes'

	- keyword `^`               for state 'yes'

what has changed?

4

Yes, the syntax has changed. You can find more info in https://alan-platform.com/pages/docs/model/103/application/grammar.html#application-users and more general in https://alan-platform.com/docs/#language-documentation-20234

5

After changed all 2022.2 syntax to 2023.4 syntax
running build shows:

System 'sessions'

System 'client'

running deploy shows:

Error: unable to determine last deployed version.

how can this be repaired?

6

Did you change the application model during this platform upgrade in such a way that a migration is required? Or did you only update the syntax but keep the structure of the data intact?

If the answer to the last question is ‘Yes’, then you can fix it by doing this:

cp models/model/application.alan .alan/deployed.alan

After that, retry deployment with migration.

the answer to the last was indeed yes, running deploy shows now:

the last line shows now: No such file or directory

This file has changed between platform versions, the newer version is only available for newly created accounts (which are already on 2023.4). I have updated the file in your project. Can you try it again?
