Tim: I haven't had reports of that from clients but I've seen that in development (I always work in client/server) and I'm seeing it with apps in V12, V13, and V15. Last month, I sent the V15 to an Active4D programmer and he hit that same issue. My work around is to relaunch the server and wait a few seconds before logging in. I have no idea if that's just "voodoo programming" or not but I don't get the alert the second time I attempt to log in.
It's happened with anti-virus software shut off, I've run DiskWarrior on OS X and diskcheck on Windows, and have cleaned out the AppData folders but it still crops up from time to time. Of note is that the "update resources folder" simply does not work for the versions that I'm using. I put it in the same category as the "close door" button that you see in elevators - nice button that does nothing. My MacBook Pro is "late 2013" model that I bought in early 2014. DiskWarrior, DiskUtility, TechTool Pro, and DiskSensei all indicate that the file structures and the SSD itself are operating correctly. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 9:55 AM, Tim Nevels via 4D_Tech < [email protected]> wrote: > I’ve recently seen a big increase in this error message reported by two > clients running 4D Server v14.4. > > Also have seen “The plug-in method cannot be executed.” error message that > appears to be connected to this in some situations. > > Client reports this for some users, but not all.
