Sidekick Issues with Latest Update (v20.0.1.2827)

Featured Replies

I know you folks are on holiday, but wanted to get this out there to look at when you get back. 

I've gotten used to updated to the latest update as bugs are worked out.  Downloaded v20.0.1.2827 today and installed it.  The main ComicBase program is working fine but Sidekick seems to have issues.  Whenever I try to run any task, it either does not work with no errors (Update database content) or get Unhandled exception errors (every other task).  If I hit continue on the error, Sidekick just spins away like it is doing the task, but nothing ever happens.  Here is the text from the latest go (This was running an optimize task for example):

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

As a further update, I noticed there was a new version posted today, 2834.  Tried it out and still the same errors with Sidekick.  Also did a clean install as well just to be safe and same thing.

I'm experiencing the same exact thing...

"See the end of this message for details on invoking

So I cannot back up my database to the cloud and save reports. When I try to save reports to the web from inside the database, I get a message saying that the report has been successfully sent to the server, but there are no reports under my account on the website nor in the mobile app which I use extensively!!

Is there any fix for this?

John,

Just noticed that version 20.0.1.2836 is available for download.  Just installed it and so far my Sidekick is working again.  Hope it works for you as well.

Josh

Thanks Josh! Sidekick is working again! Looks like there’s still a problem with reports though. Have you been able to send reports to the web and view them in the mobile app?

  • Author

Yeah, same thing.  Reports seem to upload, but nothing on the web or mobile.  I'm guessing there may be an issue server side as all my auto-created reports are showing properly.  Just custom ones are not.

Our report uploader ran into technical difficulties over the Holiday break. It’s been rebooted and now is processing through a large list of reports from our users. We apologize for the inconvenience, it may take several hours for it to catch up and post all those reports.
