Updating extensions error

howard91447448

I updated the core but get this error on the screen when I update the extensions. Method Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint::dropForeignKeyIfExists does not exist.
It’s appears to be stuck at that point.

BadMethodCallException: Method Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint::dropForeignKeyIfExists does not exist. in /var/www/tamarind/public_html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Macroable/Traits/Macroable.php:113

sampoyigi You want me to manually copy the code changes? Really? I’m thinking there’s too many daily errors I need to recover from to continue with this otherwise great software. Support is too thin on the ground, too slow and spread over too many platforms for me.

Ryan made the point that it’s free so shouldn’t expect better. That’s great for a beta but not when people are installing it in real world situations. Not a day goes past where I don’t get a system error when I change something like take the site out of maintenance mode or add a column to the menu items listing. I get errors with the payments extensions if I try to change them, dashboard charts and too much to make this viable. I think will need to draw a line under this. This of course, is my choice.

You see, I understand what you’re saying and it can be very frustrating, right? However, for an open source, we put a significant amount of effort into providing support and great efforts into fixing these issues once reported. All of that shouldn’t go unnoticed!

sampoyigi But that isn’t what I’m saying at all. I’m quite certain you work hard but the level of support and number of issues I experience isn’t good enough for me to get a client to use this software. I think it’s amazing and I really would like to use it but the tiniest change often brings the thing down. I’ve mentioned a couple already.
At the moment I can’t use the extension kitchen display on one browser but can on another. Used to work on both. I daren’t touch my stripe payment extension because the last time I did that it took my hours to make the whole front end work again. I can’t add another Location because it’s not possible to assign menu items to it without the menu items admin pages stopping working. If I clear my cache often I need to restart my server usually but not always. I still have untouched tickets written where I couldn’t customise any theme. Again, I’m afraid to try another theme because that took me hours to come back from. There have been issues with review stars which were fairly agressively dealt with; lucky for me that was another user.
In short, I can’t pursuade someone to run a business on this software at the moment because I have to keep fixing things. Then you release an update with missing code. You should implement the changes required and release a fixed update.
Yes, TI looks great, it has fantatic features, it’s well thought out. But it keeps breaking and I don’t always feel welcome reporting these issues. It doesn’t matter that it’s Open Source.

howard91447448 You are very welcome to report issues - and I’ve tried to direct you to the right channels (which you’ve met with resistance). We obviously want things to be fixed and we work hard to do that, but its not always possible in the time frames you and others are expecting (sometimes demanding).

As with most open source software, often the best way to see something fixed is to open a pull request with the required code changes. Thats how I got involved in this project in the first place.

Sorry that you feel your experience hasn’t been ideal, thats disappointing to hear.

howard91447448

ryanmitchell A little more humility wouldn’t go amiss here. I’m not making unreasonable demands. I’m testing this software for a client and need to get answers to some questions. You appear to work under the assumption that everyone who installs Tastyigniter is as knowledgeable about it and the platform used to create it as the developers. The real world doesn’t work like this. We all have different roles and you’ve taken on one which needs some empathy. So far I’ve obliged the requests you’ve made by reporting bugs like you’ve asked me to. One thing I don’t think I need to do is start using another social media platform when this one here claims to be the place for the community to get together and answer questions. You have chosen the position you are in and you should be a bit more thoughtful when dealing with the people who are, essentially, bug hunting - also without pay. Your truculence and passive aggressive behaviour such as that displayed with ideasgirl isn’t impressive.

As far as I’m concerned, I really like the software but I’ve not been very successfull in analysing why it’s so flaky for me. Since my last message here, I’ve paid for both shared hosting and then a VPS hosting. The VPS just didn’t work properly as a fresh install either. I had the same issues I have now including some extra ones with Reviews I didn’t have before. At least this helps rule out the hardware I’m using as being a root cause. The shared hosting didn’t work in any form - good or bad. I used the cpanel to install it and after install it just said, no prizes here, ERROR 500. So, after some considerable cost I have to genuinely admit defeat and move on to something else.
I know I have a couple of other messages to answer so I’ll do those and keep an eye on how this application develops.

howard91447448 personal insults aside, I would suggest context is important. I had a number of threads and emails with ideasgirl and my response to her was appropriate. Not passive aggressive in the slightest - but I’ll leave you to your own opinions.

The software requires a reasonable level of developer capability - and we do assume that the people working on it are developers. There is a hosted version coming in the near future that may be more appropriate for non developers.
