>I’ve never used this code but shouldn’t it execute in a wiki page?
Thanks Vincent. I finally figured out from Craig Wright's comment ("FOR THOSE
NEW TO XWIKI") that a)there is such a thing [as a code snippet that runs in a
page] and that this is one of them. Being completely unaware of the existence
of snippets, I would never have guessed that this was one.
I followed step 1:
Step 1: Switch to Filesystem attachments.
I followed step 2:
Step 2: Add a new directory to your backup routine.
I read step 3:
Step 3: Copy attachments from database to filesystem.
Now you are ready to copy the data over from your database to the filesystem.
It is prudent to leave the attachments in the database since in most situations
the attachment data is not bothersome just sitting in the database (The only
risk of attachments left in the database is that they will bloat the size of
the database files). As such, this script contains no facility to delete
entries from the database.
If anything goes wrong in this function, it will fail with an error message and
you should get the stack trace, keep it to confuse and humiliate the developer
with. No harm should be done since this only loads from the database and only
saves to the filesystem.
I read step 4:
Step 4: Make sure everything is working.
Check to make sure your attachments are still there, if an attachment is
broken, ... <snip>
I felt quite sure that how to run the thing should be in step 3; 2 is too soon,
and 4 is too late. But how? Nowhere in the text does it actually say how to
run the thing!!! So I googled looking for other's comments on forums, etc. I
YUM installed Groovy and tried running it on the commandline. I removed the
leading and trailing lines ("[[grovy]]") which caused errors. I got class not
found errors. I read step 3 again. I started reading the details of CLASSPATH
and /bin/build-classpath. With reluctance and just a little resentment. It
was an extwemewy fwustwating expewience.
That said, I realize it the mailing list is for questions, not complaints, and
so apologize to all for this complaint, and will take it and my other such
observations to Jira and log them as bugs.
