I've tested the TW2.8.1 upgrade process using Firefox (release channel, v20.0.1) with TiddlyFox (1.0alpha16), and I am not having any problems with upgrading. To load a plugin, the TWCore reads the content from the plugin tiddler and then passes that content to the javascript eval() function for processing. The TWCore then simply collects any error response and displays it in the PluginManager. Thus, the errors you are seeing are not actually coming from the TWCore itself. The problems you are reporting don't make any sense to me. If there was some kind of central TWCore problem with loading plugins, it seems like it would occur with *every* plugin you have installed, rather than just a handful. In addition, all of the errors that are being displayed are *syntax errors* within the code being eval()'ed, which suggests that the contents of those specific plugins have been directly damaged, rather than it being a systemic problem. To figure out what is happening, I suggest that you start by looking at the content in those specific tiddlers. Does it seem like they have been truncated, corrupted, or otherwise "mangled" in some way? Was the content word-wrapped (which can add newlines into the plugin's code, breaking some syntax)? Do those plugins have any multi-byte UTF8 "symbol" characters embedded in them? TiddlyFox has had some issues in the past with multi-byte character encodings that could result in invalid content. Although I believe that Jeremy has fixes those problems, it's still something to consider. Also, have you tried the "manual" upgrade process? 1) Load a currently working copy of your document into the browser 2) REPLACE the existing file on disk with a copy of TW281 empty.html 3) From the loaded document, choose "save changes" The "save changes" handling first re-reads the document file from disk (which is now an empty TW281), then merges the tiddlers currently loaded in browser memory, and then writes the combined file back to disk, producing an upgraded document in the process. Give that a try and let me know if it works. Other than that suggestion, there's very little I can do to help without being able to examine the upgraded document directly. Can you post it somewhere online? -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
