Hello Keith,

The point is that you rights configuration (specifically the 'script' right section) for the XWikiAllGroup in Administration should look like in this screenshot [1] (from the 7.2 release notes [2]). The 'script' right is explicitly given to all users so that the migration/upgrade behaves as before, until you decide otherwise. Please check that the rights setup is properly upgraded.

2) The only other case I can think of is that you might have deleted the user that is set as last content author in (most of) your documents. If this is the case, then indeed the scripts will not be able to be executed since the user no longer exists (and thus can not own the 'script' right). To fix this, you could recreate the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.

On this second point, does it mean that we cannot delete users anymore because of this? That could be an issue… Thanks -Vincent

I suppose - those boxes were not checked, but I checked those boxes manually and it still did not work.

So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as in the screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating the problem in a new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a velocity macro (event with some static text content, it does not matter) and then saving the page to see if it is executed properly and that you get no error? How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the author of

a script?

The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content author of the document in which the script is located. If you have problems with the scripts inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look at its "Last modified by" label, under the page title. That will tell you the user that last modified the page. The gotcha here is that the script right (just like the programming right) actually checks the last content author of that page, so the last user that changed the page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example, for that saved the page without changes, etc.). To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can install with the Extension Manager and check the content author and the status of Programming and Script rights on a particular page. You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that contain scripts and that fail to work on your setup.

How is this different from what we are doing with Programming Rights? If the author of the script is no more, then the script's credibility is no more, so it should not be executed.

The difference is that we use script macros everywhere (a lot more than PR) so this makes it now completely impossible to remove any user who’s ever coded using some script macros. Thus I believe we need to brainstorm and find a solution as it’s becoming more urgent now. Some ideas: * Don’t allow deleting users, just allow disabling them. * When deleting a user, ask who’s becoming responsible for the content of that author (ie associate the 2 ids) and when checking permissions, check using the responsible user id. * Before deleting a user warn about the consequences (for pages which have PRs and Scripts) and recommend disabling the user instead. And wait for signed scripts, hoping that it won’t take long before we implement it... * Have a store for deleted users and use it when checking permissions Thanks -Vincent

Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the content author checking app I mentioned above? Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating a new page with a simple script to test that? If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try enabling the superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to create the content author checking app page (with the mentioned source code). We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you describe, from the information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps. Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting documents. Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes here: 1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in your webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an improper war upgrade [3]?) 2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is unlikely since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is located in xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder, without which your wiki would not be running.

Hi Keith,

Are you sure you’ve executed the Distribution Wizard? (because by default we give Script Rights to users).

@Edy: I think we need some additional info in the Release Notes about this.

I finally got a chance to work on this today. I switched back to XWiki 7.2 and I got the Distribution Wizard interface telling me that the 7.1.2 UI is invalid and to upgrade (again). Is that supposed to happen? I never did anything to "downgrade" the UI.

This time, I noticed that I get these errors:

Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the content author checking app I mentioned above?

Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating a new page with a simple script to test that?

If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try enabling the superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to create the content author checking app page (with the mentioned source code).

We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you describe, from the information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps.

Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting documents.

Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes here: 1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in your webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an improper war upgrade [3]?) 2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is unlikely since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is located in xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder, without which your wiki would not be running.

Hope this helps getting to the bottom of this.

We don't write or create any velocity scripts - we are only using the ones that came with XWiki or installed via Extensions.

Also, the extension managements pages are broken (I sent that in the first email that did not go through). Under Extension Manager, Add Extensions is listed, but is broken (I think, I'm back on 7.1.2 right now), but the other links all are like this:

$services.localization.render ('admin.xwiki.installedextensions')

Those definitely do no work.

I suppose - those boxes were not checked, but I checked those boxes manually and it still did not work.

So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as in the screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating the problem in a new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a velocity macro (event with some static text content, it does not matter) and then saving the page to see if it is executed properly and that you get no error?

How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the author of

...

a script?

The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content author of the document in which the script is located. If you have problems with the scripts inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look at its "Last modified by" label, under the page title. That will tell you the user that last modified the page. The gotcha here is that the script right (just like the programming right) actually checks the last content author of that page, so the last user that changed the page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example, for that saved the page without changes, etc.).

To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can install with the Extension Manager and check the content author and the status of Programming and Script rights on a particular page.

You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that contain scripts and that fail to work on your setup.

Hope this helps, Eduard

Hello Keith,

I see 2 possibilities here:

1) Is there any chance that, while you`ve executed the Distribution Wizard, you might have missed (ignored) the document XWiki.XWikiPreferences? Or maybe you`ve chosen to keep all your changes? The point is that you rights configuration (specifically the 'script' right section) for the XWikiAllGroup in Administration should look like in this screenshot [1] (from the 7.2 release notes [2]). The 'script' right is explicitly given to all users so that the migration/upgrade behaves as before, until you decide otherwise. Please check that the rights setup is properly upgraded.

2) The only other case I can think of is that you might have deleted the user that is set as last content author in (most of) your documents. If this is the case, then indeed the scripts will not be able to be executed since the user no longer exists (and thus can not

own the 'script' right).

...

To fix this, you could recreate the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.

Please let us know if that helps.

Thanks, Eduard

I suppose - those boxes were not checked, but I checked those boxes manually and it still did not work.

So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as in the screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating the problem in a new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a velocity macro (event with some static text content, it does not matter) and then saving the page to see if it is executed properly and that you get no error?

How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the author of

a script?

The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content author of the document in which the script is located. If you have problems with the scripts inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look at its "Last modified by" label, under the page title. That will tell you the user that last modified the page. The gotcha here is that the script right (just like the programming right) actually checks the last content author of that page, so the last user that changed the page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example, for that saved the page without changes, etc.).

To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can install with the Extension Manager and check the content author and the status of Programming and Script rights on a particular page.

You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that contain scripts and that fail to work on your setup.

Hope this helps, Eduard

Hello Keith,

I see 2 possibilities here:

1) Is there any chance that, while you`ve executed the Distribution Wizard, you might have missed (ignored) the document XWiki.XWikiPreferences? Or maybe you`ve chosen to keep all your changes? The point is that you rights configuration (specifically the 'script' right section) for the XWikiAllGroup in Administration should look like in this screenshot [1] (from the 7.2 release notes [2]). The 'script' right is explicitly given to all users so that the migration/upgrade behaves as before, until you decide otherwise. Please check that the rights setup is properly upgraded.

2) The only other case I can think of is that you might have deleted the user that is set as last content author in (most of) your documents. If this is the case, then indeed the scripts will not be able to be executed since the user no longer exists (and thus can not

own the 'script' right).

...

To fix this, you could recreate the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.

Please let us know if that helps.

Thanks, Eduard

Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the content author checking app I mentioned above?

Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating a new page with a simple script to test that?

If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try enabling the superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to create the content author checking app page (with the mentioned source code).

We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you describe, from the information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps.

Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting documents.

I suppose - those boxes were not checked, but I checked those boxes manually and it still did not work.

So you are saying that you`ve set the rights of the XWikiAllGroup as in the screenshot and you still have issues. Have you tried isolating the problem in a new page? Like creating a new page, writing/adding a velocity macro (event with some static text content, it does not matter) and then saving the page to see if it is executed properly and that you get no error?

How do I figure out what user is the author? How do I change the author of

a script?

The last author of a script is the same thing as the last content author of the document in which the script is located. If you have problems with the scripts inside Main.Welcome (for example), you look at its "Last modified by" label, under the page title. That will tell you the user that last modified the page. The gotcha here is that the script right (just like the programming right) actually checks the last content author of that page, so the last user that changed the page's content (not the last user that added a comment for example, for that saved the page without changes, etc.).

To make it easier, I`ve published this small app [1] that you can install with the Extension Manager and check the content author and the status of Programming and Script rights on a particular page.

You need to identify who is the "content author" on the documents that contain scripts and that fail to work on your setup.

Hope this helps, Eduard

Hello Keith,

I see 2 possibilities here:

1) Is there any chance that, while you`ve executed the Distribution Wizard, you might have missed (ignored) the document XWiki.XWikiPreferences? Or maybe you`ve chosen to keep all your changes? The point is that you rights configuration (specifically the 'script' right section) for the XWikiAllGroup in Administration should look like in this screenshot [1] (from the 7.2 release notes [2]). The 'script' right is explicitly given to all users so that the migration/upgrade behaves as before, until you decide otherwise. Please check that the rights setup is properly upgraded.

2) The only other case I can think of is that you might have deleted the user that is set as last content author in (most of) your documents. If this is the case, then indeed the scripts will not be able to be executed since the user no longer exists (and thus can not

own the 'script' right).

...

To fix this, you could recreate the previously deleted user and make sure he has the 'script' right.

Please let us know if that helps.

Thanks, Eduard

Are you sure you’ve executed the Distribution Wizard? (because by default we give Script Rights to users).

But what do I do to fix this issue now or are we stuck on 7.1.2 until this is fixed?

You could save the concerned pages with a user having Script permissions (you could script this if there are plenty of pages). Re localization error, maybe they’re executed inside velocity scripts too and these pages also need to be saved by a user with script rights. Thanks -Vinent

Created a new page with just this content:

{{velocity}} Your username is $xcontext.getUser(), welcome to the site. {{/velocity}}

That works:

"Your username is XWiki.Admin, welcome to the site."

I installed Xwiki originally, but a user that is no longer here (and the user has been deleted) has done most of the upgrades for some time. Is it possible that because his account is missing, there are no rights to these scripts?

Indeed, that’s a possibility and what Edy was suggesting, see http://markmail.org/message/et34vg63fuul33xc

I’ve also created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12676 to remember to handle this.

I finally got a chance to work on this today. I switched back to XWiki 7.2 and I got the Distribution Wizard interface telling me that the 7.1.2 UI is invalid and to upgrade (again). Is that supposed to happen? I never did anything to "downgrade" the UI.

This time, I noticed that I get these errors:

Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » AppWithinMinutes » ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » Stats » ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » Scheduler » ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » XWiki » UserDirectoryApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » Blog » ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights Failed to register the wiki component located in the document [Home » Panels » ApplicationsPanelEntry]: WikiComponentException: Registering UI extensions at wiki level requires wiki administration rights

I am an administrator - maybe this is the problem?

Keith, have you tried to create a new page with the source [1] of the content author checking app I mentioned above?

Also, is your user account able to execute scripts? Have you tried creating a new page with a simple script to test that?

If your user can not execute the scripts he writes, then you could try enabling the superadmin [2] account and log in with that one in order to create the content author checking app page (with the mentioned source code).

We are at a debugging step here, since we can not reproduce what you describe, from the information you are giving us. I ran an upgrade of a clean 7.1.2 instance to a 7.2 version, through the Distribution Wizard without issues, so my conclusion is that there is a problem with your particular instance's state, probably due to some incomplete upgrade steps.

Since you are the only one with access to your instances, we need more information of what is going on to find out what went wrong. Alternatively, you could also re-attempt the upgrade and making sure that, while resolving any conflicts during the Distribution Wizard's upgrade step, you include/merge the changes coming from the 7.2 version of the conflicting documents.

Re things like "$services.localization.render..." there could be 2 causes here: 1) Missing xwiki-platform-localization-(script/api/etc.)-7.2.jar files in your webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib installation folder (maybe due to an improper war upgrade [3]?) 2) Missing 'admin.xwiki.installedextensions' translation, but that is unlikely since it is located in ApplicationResources.properties which is located in xwiki-platform-oldcore-7.2.jar in your WEB-INF/lib folder, without which your wiki would not be running.

Hope this helps getting to the bottom of this.
