Call for translations / preparations of 1.7.0 release
by Erik Huelsmann 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hi all, With LedgerSMB 1.7.0-beta1 out for nearly 2 months now and without significant findings so far, the project team has started the final release process. This mail is both to announce that we're expecting to release 1.7.0 in a few weeks as well as a request for contributions: if you would like to donate to our community and don't know how? Translating LedgerSMB to a language you know will be of great help! Getting started with translating is as easy as creating an account on Transifex (https://transifex.com) and joining the LedgerSMB project there ( https://www.transifex.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb/dashboard/) Your updated translations will automatically be included in all releases where applicable (from the latest 1.7 to any releases further 1.6 and 1.5 releases yet to come). The 1.7 release mainly features multiple currency rates per currency per day. Other development effort has been spent in building more tests so that test coverage has increased from 29% at the time of the 1.6.0 release (May 2018) to 41% on the 1.7.0-beta1 release.

Set up of SMB
by Terence McGrane 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hi all, I am in desperate need of help. I have now for months been going over Accounting packages that would be suitable for my small business. Have tried so many and most fall down somewhere. Have been looking at SMB for the same period, however for me who is basically and end user to set this up is a nightmare. I have tried but gave up as did not understand what I was doing. In short I need someone to give me a hand to set this up on my Windows PC. Ideally if you are in Australia so we can do it via Teamviewer if not I will work around your time Really hope someone can assist here, so far it has cost me a fortune on other packages that are just not up to what I SMB is and can do what i need it too -- Regards Terry McGrane Accounts Administration

Running LedgerSMB 1.5 with a schema other than public
by Nicolas Couchoud 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

Hi, In my current installation of LedgerSMB, the tables are in a schema other than public, because I installed it in a database where there are other data in schema public. (The reason I did that is that I want to link tables in schema public and LedgerSMB tables, but I have not done it yet.) I could make it work relatively painlessly with LedgerSMB 1.3 by setting db_namespace in ledgersmb.conf. Recently (that is, very late!) I wanted to upgrade to LedgerSMB 1.5.24 (not 1.6 because my server is still under Debian stretch). I think I could upgrade the database correctly with setup.pl, but when running login.pl it will not work because, according to Postgresql's logs, it insists on trying to call the stored procedure public.setting_get, which does not exist. Although I do not know perl, I tried to read the code to understand what is going on. If I understood well, stored procedures are called by calling directly or indirectly the perl function call_procedure in module PGObject, which sets the schema to public when it is not specified. However, module LedgerSMB also contains a function call_procedure which correctly sets the schema, so the problem seems to be that sometimes PGObject's call_procedure is called directly instead of module LedgerSMB's. I do not understand why, because I do not know what constructs like $self->call_procedure or __PACKAGE__->call_procedure do, but anyway this is very annoying for me, because it means that LedgerSMB 1.5 just will not work with db_namespace set to anything else than public. Was this problem known? Is it corrected in a later version? Regards.

LedgerSMB 1.7.0-beta1 released
by Erik Huelsmann 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hi, After the release of 1.7.0-alpha1 we have been working towards the 1.7.0 release as described in our community update. We feel that the 1.7.0 branch is feature complete and while we're developing tests to find and fix possible regressions and older bugs, no new features or major changes are expected to be implemented before 1.7.0. This means that the current code base (modulo any and all regressions we can find and fix) will become 1.7.0 when it's ready. To help you find the bugs we need to fix before the release, we have published 1.7.0-beta1. It's available as a Docker image from Docker Hub under the tag "ledgersmb/ledgersmb:1.7.0-beta1". See https://hub.docker.com/r/ledgersmb/ledgersmb/builds/ Additionally, the release can be downloaded as a tarball from the download site: https://download.ledgersmb.org/f/Beta%20Releases/1.7.0-beta1/ Please report any issues you find in reply to this e-mail (that is, to the mailing list) or create an issue on GitHub with your finding: https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/issues/new?template=ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

LedgerSMB community update
by Erik Huelsmann 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hi, It was just before New Year when I sent out the last community update, so it's time for a follow up. This half year, we only released 1 maintenance release for 1.6.10. With no specific new bug reports coming in, the development team was able to focus its efforts on 1.7.0. On that front, a lot of development effort has gone into getting the Multi-Currency branch ready to be merged to master. On January 20th the long-awaited multi-currency branch merge happened, followed by the release of 1.7.0-alpha1. Since then, we've been developing more tests simulating user interaction with LedgerSMB to ensure that 1.7.0 will be as good as 1.6.0 when it is released. In the process, we have been fixing a few regressions. With the additional tests - which include tests for AR & AP invoices and transactions - we have increased test coverage from 29% (current on 1.6) to 40% (on master) and we're working to increase the number to well above 50% before release. The speed at which we're able to implement new tests is severely impacted by the fact that we hit a continuous integration limit: Travis CI allows us to run tests for a maximum of 50 minutes. Our test suite runs between 40 and 45 minutes in code-coverage testing mode. A lot of effort has gone into working on this problem. We're working to off-load the code-coverage test jobs to another Continuous Integration service (CircleCI) which *does* allow jobs to run longer than 50 minutes. Another direction of research was to reduce execution time of our test jobs. And while that did turn up some bugs in our Selenium test driver, it mainly helped the area where we didn't experience any problems (the non-code-coverage tests were reduced from 29-30 minutes of execution to 20-21 minutes of execution). Migrating some of our test infrastructure to CircleCI turned out to have the additional benefit of being able to start running our tests against Chrome and Firefox. Currently we only run against PhantomJS. While PhantomJS implements enough of JavaScript to support our testing, it's unmaintained and getting behind on recent standards. Being able to test with Chrome and Firefox will help to take advantage of more modern browser development techniques. As part of our optimization work, we helped create new releases of Weasel, Pherkin::Extension::Weasel and Test::BDD::Cucumber, where significant new features were added to Pherkin::Extension::Weasel to support increased developer efficiency. Looking to the immediate future, we're expecting to release 1.7.0-beta1 this week: we think 1.7.0 is feature complete and we'll work simply to stabilize it from here on. This means that 1.7.0 isn't production ready, but we're looking for people to test-drive it and value any and all bug reports we can get!

Or put it your local DNS? Also; if you're using the default setup, you should be using "https", not "http". And note (in case you don't already know) that browsers like Chromium really don't like using https with ssl certs like what we're using by default (a valid ssl cert but not one that is registered where the browser knows of), but how you get around that and still get the secure session depends on the browser. (But yes, despite such dns & ssl issues, we still recommend using secure broswer session to access the LSMB app.) > I tried adding the machines IP as the servername, but that didn't work either. In what way did you try adding it? In the URL? For instance, although I also have LXCs/VMs running on a local server, I usually have test containers running on my laptop. And don't have the networking where those are running accessible outside of the laptop. So rather than adding the server name for the LXC to the DNS on the laptop (since the IP can change depending on what other containers have been started), I just use the IP. For example; if 10.0.0.231 is the IP, then for the LSMB setup login page I would use https://10.0.0.231/setup.pl. Or, https://10.0.0.231/login.pl for the login page. -- Robert J.

LEDGERSMB on Windows 10
by Terry Mcgrane 12 May '19

12 May '19

Hi all I sure as hell hope someone can help me. I have been looking at LedgerSMB now for 2 weeks trying to figure out how I get this working on a Windows10 PC, and damned if i understand any of it. I so would love to use this software, sick of paying out thousands of dollars each year for not much. Ledger SMB from what I have read and seem on the youtube is perfect it does everything i want and more. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to give me a hand setting it up on my PC using TEAMVIEWER. I live in Australia so you would have to consider the time difference. I am hoping to do this ASAP so if there is any I would really appreciate your help. Thank you Terry
