Skyve 20190404 is now available in Nexus.

  • Make DUUS UxUi declarations public

  • Make download an XHR, then a download request with an attachment content-disposition

  • Fix previous values mechanism in SmartClient and PrimeFaces

Our aim is for anyone to be able to generate their own automated user interface tests and run it against their Skyve application. The process is not quite user-friendly enough for general availability, but if you would like to try it out, contact us and we can provide some instructions.

NOTES FOR UPGRADING

To upgrade your Skyve project to this version, change the Skyve version in your pom.xml to 20190404 and change your skyve-maven-plugin version to 1.13.

There was a change to the router/DefaultUxUiSelector.java which the assemble target will not run, so this will need to be manually copied over from the file in skyve-ee.

See the complete upgrade instructions on GitHub.
