Update Vaadin from 7.4 to 7.4.2

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

I’ve updated vaadin from 7.4 to 7.4.2. To do so, I’ve opened my ivy.xml file and changed to . After waiting some time, everything seems okay.

When deploying my webapp, I’ve opened it with ?debug parameter, and I’ve been able to see the following (see update.png): Client engine version: 7.4.0, Server engine version: 7.4.2 and Theme version: 7.4.2.

Should not Client engine version be on 7.4.2? Have I done something wrong?

Thanks!!

You haven’t compiled the widget set.

Ivy sometimes causes trouble in Eclipse, and some of the following may help:

  • Right mouse button on project → Ivy → Reload settings
  • Right mouse button on project → Ivy → Refresh
  • Compile widget set(s) and themes with the buttons in Eclipse toolbar (or with a build script)
    [list]
  • If with build script, remember to refresh Eclipse project with F5 (good to hit that button anyhow if there’s any problem)




    [/list]
  • Refresh server
    [list]
  • Stop server
  • Right click → Clean Tomcat Work Directory
  • Right click → Clean
  • Restart server

    [/list]
  • If the above doesn’t help, could also do “Ivy → Clean every repository cache” first, but that takes quite a long time and should not be needed.

I’m gonna try it now.

The above steps, made my server and client version agree. But my Theme version is still 7.2.4, how do I correct that?
Thank you

Hi!

I switched from Ivy to Maven several months ago and now I’m facing the same issue. However, I’m not able to update the widgetset…

How can I recompile the widgetset in Maven? I don’t care if it can be done either in eclipse or via CLI.

Thanks!

I’ve been able to compile the new version of the widgetset doing the following (note that I use Maven’s standard directory layout):

  2. Remove “widgetset” folder located at “/src/webapp/VAADIN”
  3. Compile the widgetset via Maven:
    [list=1]
  4. mvn clean vaadin:compile

    [/list]

I tried recompiling and also removing the widgetset folder and recompiling and the problem persisted.
I’m using Ivy and it stores old versions of every JAR in C:\Users<myusername>.ivy2\cache\com.vaadin\ and subdirectories. And Vaadin client compiler was choosing one of the old JARs when running. As I don’t know how to change the Vaadin client compiler commandline, I just removed the old JARs and left only the latest one, and recompiled.
