    uSync - Won't

    I've developed uSync with the prime aim of being able to put an umbraco installation into source control  - it does the a reasonably good job of getting the db types (like DocumentTypes) onto the disk, but their are a few things uSync isn't

     

    • uSync doesn't do content - it's intended as a back office developer tool to keep code in check
    • uSync doesn't do media types (yet - there appears to be no object to XML code in the core, so at somepoint i'm going to have to write that if uSync is to backup media types)
    • uSync doesn't save DataTypes onSave - uSync will write to disk most types when you click save in umbraco, but for some reason this doesn't work for DataTypes - i'm guessing this is in the DataTypeDefinition code within umbraco - again maybe later.
    • uSync doesn't do the stuff already on the disk - so backup your macroscripts, xslt or js files yourself, no bit of them is stored in the DB so you don't need to uSync to write anything out. 
    uSync isn't siteBuilder - it just reads and writes stuff to disk - 
    uSiteBuilder lets you do codeFirst but once you've gone down that road some bits of the umbraco interface become out of bounds. uSync just saves and loads the data, you can still use umbraco as normal and uSync just works in the background saving to disk. it's not trying to be clever.

    Hello, firstly great package! Look forward to seeing how it develops. Just a quick heads up, after install I get the following stack trace. Disappears after App recycle. https://gist.github.com/uniquelau/5031404 Lau

    Edit = <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.11.1" />

    Hi Lau

    what version of umbraco is that on ? i develoed uSync on 4.11.4 i'm guessing it's a version issue - I'm just looking at v6 now - the API might have changed. 

    the error means that the first time run when uSync writes everything to the disk is failing

    Hi Lau 

    I've just done a freshinstall of 4.11.1 and installed the package, and i didn't get the error. have you got any additional data types on your installation, i think it's probibly a datatype value or something, it would be good for me to get to the bottom of it. the DataType code in umbraco isn't as clean as the rest of it - so i wouldn't be suprised - and i would quite like uSync to be a bit more robust on this.

    Hi Kevin, just finshing up for the day. When I get in tomorrow, I'll roll back to pre-install and work out the steps needed to recreate the issue. Thanks, Laurence

    Issue is caused when new data is 'deployed', without an App Pool restart before running the site.
