[rules-users] Problem with Guvnor 5.1.1, <save> frequently does not save...

[Toni Rikkola]

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this.

I created a JIRA for this if you want to follow it.
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GUVNOR-636

Do you still get the Check-in popup every time you click Save? I'm just
wondering if this is related to a previous bug we had.

> I have spent several days writing rules and tests for them in Guvnor, and
> kept having strange results.  A test would sometimes fail, repeatedly, and
> then finally start working after I would delete and recreate some portion of
> it, or change a value.
>
> After two of us spent many hours trying to identify the extent of the
> problem, we concluded the following:
> 1.  The problem happens under both IE and Firefox.
> 2.  The problem happens less frequently under Firefox if we install and
> turn on a third-party plug-in which disables Firefox caching web pages.
> 3.  Saving a new rule or test will allow us to work with it (edit - save -
> test scenarios).  However, frequently the rule or test will just disappear
> once we log out.
> 4.  A "Save" and "Check-in" will often work correctly if we cross our
> fingers and do the following:
>         a.  Save it once  (the screen updates, and you can check the
> version history)
>         b.  Refresh the browser
>         c.  Make the change again
>         d.  Save it a second time
> 5.  After doing a "Save" and "Check-in", you can immediately do a "view
> source" and see your changes in place.  However, if you then close the test
> (or rule) and re-open it, you will often find that the change is gone, and
> the test or rule looks like it did before you made the change.
>
> A sample screenshot appears below.  In this case, I created the test with
> the "performedTime" set to 20-Sep-2008.  I ran the test and it failed,
> because the rule was checking for greater than or equal to 21-Sep-2008.  I
> then changed the date on the test to 21-Sep-2008, did a "save changes" and a
> "Check-in", and then ran the scenario again.
>
> As you can see below, the asserted object contains the date 20-Sep-2008,
> even though the test clearly shows 21-Sep-2008.
>

>
> Does anybody have any ideas on this?  If I copy the above test into a new
> test, it will often work the first time, but then it may disappear, once I
> logout, even though it was saved and checked-in.
>
> It almost seems like there is something wrong with the imbedded repository,
> and / or the first running of the test created fact objects that are
> persisting and being found the second time I ran the changed test. ...
>
> We are running the Final release of Drools Guvnor 5.1.1 found in
> drools-5.1.1-guvnor.zip downloaded on 4-Sep-2010
> We are running under Tomcat 6.0, with the recommended jar files replaced.

> Thanks for your help!
