Post by thinknirmal » Sat Aug 01, 2009 3:57 am

While I attempted to delete a repository, I received the following script error:

Code: Select all

We haven't seen this error before, but another user was having repository deletion problems that we thought were something else. Maybe he was having this problem as well. Could you please try to follow the steps outlined at:

to see if they resolve the issue that you're seeing? Thanks for your patience.

The other user was me. That is the same message I recieved, (I said the server returned a malformed response and that is the response I got - sorry for not clarifying that.)

IE (7/8) and Safari (3/4) returns the same error message. Firefox (3.5.1) stops dead when pushing the "OK" button in the delete-repository-warning dialog ("Warning: Deleting a repository may take quite some time...").

Tracing with FireBug, Fiddler2 and Safari yields:

Code: Select all

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled.

Line 513 is inside the "MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.debug.js" Ajax script file (v3.5, included via ScriptManager from Admin/Repositories.aspx).

Code: Select all

    function Sys$WebForms$PageRequestManager$_endPostBack(error, executor, data) {
        if (this._request === executor.get_webRequest()) {
            this._processingRequest = false;
            this._additionalInput = null;
            this._request = null;
        }
        var handler = this._get_eventHandlerList().getHandler("endRequest");
        var errorHandled = false;
        if (handler) {
            var eventArgs = new Sys.WebForms.EndRequestEventArgs(error, data ? data.dataItems : {}, executor);
            handler(this, eventArgs);
            errorHandled = eventArgs.get_errorHandled();
        }
        if (error && !errorHandled) {
513:     throw error;
        }
    }
    function Sys$WebForms$PageRequestManager$_findNearestElement(uniqueID) {
        while (uniqueID.length > 0) {
[There are nested Masterpages at work here, the "ScriptMode" of the ScriptManager tag in VaultSite.master could be set to "Release" in order to decrease the size of Ajax-included files. That does not help avoiding the error, though.]

Disabling event validation has no effect (EnableEventValidation=false).

Running on:
  • Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition. Service Pack 2.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Service Pack 1
    IIS 6
    .NET Framework 3.5.1 (3.5 with latest service pack and updates)
    Clean Vault installation of server and client
    Server is to be clean Vault server (i.e. nothing else installed other than OS, SQL and Vault)
    Locale set to Swedish
I've had no time to further investigate this matter and manual removal through SQL or restoration from clean backup works for me while we are testing the latest release.

Regards,
// Mike

Thank you very much for your help. I'm still investigating the cause of this. Are you having any troubles with the other pages that use AJAX? The other pages that use AnimationExtender are: EmailSettings, and Rebind.

No, I've actually used both of these pages (sent test e-mail and bound an old project (this failed but due to another issue, duplicating entries inside the solution (*.sln) file - that's for another thread).

But... I had a few minutes and I somehow forgot the debug logging facility earlier and it looks a bit weird, it's trying to access resources not available.

This is exactly what is reported at the moment when I press "OK" in the delete-repository-ajax modal window (from Vault logfile, loglevel=Debug), fully repeatable:

Fortress, or Dragnet for that matter, is not installed. It still tries to call the DragnetWebService.asmx service, probably from the RemoteDragnetService constructor or somewhere in the neighborhood. The libraries are there in the /Fortress directory (a plain catalog - no virtual directory or application below /) but I guess Vault shares common libraries with Fortress. However, no .asmx-files or anything except "bin", "External", "Feeds", "Help" and "Style" directories are present in "Fortress".

It's an uncaught exception and it looks, according to the logfile, like it very well could be the cause of the problem?

Mike,

Thanks for the report. It's a Vault-specific bug where it's trying to connect to the item tracking projects unnecessarily. We'll get that fixed for 5.0.1. If you need a workaround in the meantime, email support@sourcegear.com with a link to this thread. I really appreciate the detail you gave, and your patience.
