[SOLVED] empty dictionary

Post by Zax » Mon Apr 29, 2019 11:45 am

Hello,

I just upgrade from Community 8.x to Indy 9.02, and the Dictionary (and the API section) is empty :(
Do I have to force some refresh?

Thank you.

Hello Zax,

Which Os are we talking about? As far as reaching the dictionary goes, until we understand more, you can always use the one online at https://milby.us/lc/docs/api.html , which is hosted by Brian. I haven't tested the one at Livecode's website in a while, but that should get you started.

Thank you bogs for your quick answer, and also for the URL. It will help me until I'll find why my Dictionnary is empty.

I'm using Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6 (same OS for the old Community version and tne new Indy version).

That is good to know, some of these types of issues are related to the Os your using. I don't use OSX, but someone else who does may have the answer, or there may be a bug report available. I'll go take a look, and you may want to look too as 2 sets of eyes are always better than 1 :D

The bug database can be found here - https://quality.livecode.com/

*Edit - I found 91 entries for dictionary issues, but none seemed to match yours. Hopefully someone on a Mac can say, but if not, you might want to report it. I'd give it a few days though.

I deleted all old Livecode prefs files I found, and upgraded to 9.03, and Dictionary is back :)
