Veracity Q&A home login about faq

I'm following the instructions in http://veracity-scm.com/qa/questions/53/ive-installed-veracity-how-do-i-get-started-using-it to the letter, and after I do vv serve, and open the http://localhost:8080 page in Firefox 7.0.1, I get the Veracity page but it just hangs on Loading Recent... and the dropdowns for repository and user are unpopulated.

I have Admin privileges and I'm on Vista.

I am a complete noob at this, so there may be something really obvious to more experienced people, but danged if I know what it is.

Have you created a repository? If so, did you run vv serve within a working folder, or from the outside?

Any errors in Firefox's error console?

What version of Veracity are you running?

Yes, I followed the exact instructions in that other thread (names and all) right up to the vv serve command, then tried to browse it in Firefox.

The only difference was I made a C:Veracity folder to put it in, but since I'm in Admin mode that shouldn't have caused any permission problems.

I didn't notice any errors in the console, I'll check again tomorrow.

I was running the version I downloaded today, whichever that is.

Oh yeah, many errors. There's a few warnings about custom.css, then we get:

Error: syntax error Source File: http://localhost:8080/vvscripts.js?s=lib/jquery-1.5.1.min.js,utils.js,lib/strftime.min.js,ajaxQueue.js,vcore.js,vform.js,widgets/hovers.js,widgets/logWorkControl.js,widgets/modalPopup.js,widgets/progressBar.js,widgets/sprintTreeControl.js,lib/prettify.min.js,lib/jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.min.js,lib/jquery.ba-bbq.min.js Line: 1, Column: 300

Then some more errors about things not being defined and finally more warnings.

Any clues?

The file I installed was veracity_1.1.0.10565_x64.msi, in case that's important. I'm running Vista 64.

I'd be curious to see: the actual contents of the long-named JS file; the full URL you're visiting; and a complete error log, if available. No attachments here, but if you like you can mail it to paul.roub@sourcegear.com

I was just preparing it for you, and it looks like a segment of file. So I reinstalled Veracity from scratch, did it again, and got a different error message, but the same type of "corrupted" file.

I can send both files to you if you want, but it's probably gibberish and unhelpful.

The question is, what's causing the corruption?

"The question is, what's causing the corruption?"

That's what I'm trying to figure out. This isn't anything we've seen before, so I'm looking for as many clues as I can get.

BTW, I have installed and run Veracity correctly on another machine, using the same method, and everything is fine there.

I also just logged on to that other machine using this machine, and I can see Veracity just fine. So it's not Firefox, it's something else. I can even view it fine from another machine!

So the actual problem is, I have a repository that I can't view from the local machine, but can view from others. And I can view other non-local repositories from this machine fine.

The only difference is the usernames I added on the other repo weren't e-mail addresses, just first names.

I've tried it with two different repos on this machine, and other machines can read both fine. Just this machine can't.

FWIW, I love Veracity (on the other machines!).

My best guess is that your server-cache directory has some corrupted data - I'd be interested to know what happens if you turn off windows indexing for the %LOCALAPPDATA%\.sgcloset folder, then delete the contents of %LOCALAPPDATA%\.sgcloset\server-state\vvcache, then restart the server and force-reload the home page in Firefox.

That did it! Well done and thanks!

Do you have any Firefox plugins like NoScript that disable JavaScript? If so you'll need to add localhost to its whitelist (NoScript, for example, has a toolbar button that brings up a menu containing an option like "Allow localhost").

I don't have NoScript, I turned off AdBlock and all my firewalls as well - no change.

There's nothing in Firefox that automatically blocks things, is there?

(Oct 20 '11 at 14:30) Grey

There's an "Enable JavaScript" option under Content in the main options, but I doubt you have that turned off. I'm not sure what else might be causing your problem. I know I've seen it before, but I'm pretty sure NoScript was causing it for me.

(Oct 20 '11 at 15:22) Andy Tidball ♦

I'm not at the machine right now, but I'm pretty sure Javascript is turned on, as I wouldn't have turned it off, and I can run pretty much anything on that machine.
