As we continue with the release process of the OpenMRS Platform 2.5.0 , I would like to let all know that platform 2.5.0-beta is now ready for e2e Testing ,especially the release features where possible .
Some issues were raised as blockers for low testing beta and I would like to clarify some points here.
I would like to therefore call upon volunteers , Implementations , distributions , squads and other parties to lend us a hand in testing out testing these features.
Administration via REST (May need manual Tests on endpoints , automated tests are welcome as well)
User settings (Go to User Administration page and try to store user property key-value pairs for values in the ranges property:<=255, property_value<=longtext) go ahead check the database for values in the table user_property for these values user_property.property and user_property.user_property
Yes , there was a slight change in the data model . There was a PR done by @pmanko following last week’s Fhir call ,And it was agreed it should be included .
@mksd, are there any things you could test against Platform 2.5 with regards to your earlier request for making all collectable data entities properly form recordable? This doesn’t need to be anything ready for production; rather, simply exercising a prototype or trying out some code you later throw away would be fine… we just want to take this moment (with the 2.5 release coming in the next week or two) to make sure the implemented features meet your expectations.
These changes are now done in the Platform and should be available to you within the dev3.openmrs.org environment (or against uat-refapp.openmrs.org if you prefer to test there).
Hello @dev s, I am finding it hard to fully install tomcat 8 on ubuntu 20:04 LTS.
I managed to install it and surely was able to see this test page here
However, just like that page says I have to install tomcat8-docs , tomcat8-examples and tomcat8-admin to be able to manipulate my tomcat using the gui.
The problem comes when I run this command to install tomcat8-admin. This is the error I get in the terminal .
Package tomcat8-admin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'tomcat8-admin' has no installation candidate
First of all, thanks a bunch for this! This was a great example of the Platform team being reactive and getting in the box a really good low-level API feature.
Now in terms of testing it, that’s going to be a little complicated for three reasons:
The scope of it that we were already using (Condition being form recordable for example), well is already being used for a while.
The scope of it that we aren’t yet using (other entities) will need to find their way into AMPATH Forms and will actively be tested then.
The most ready form engine to go through the testing exercise that you suggested is HFE, and again it only leverages the form recordable ability for Obs (I “think”) and Condition (yet again) :-/
@irenyak1 You might get some more valuable information by running sudo journalctl -u tomcat. That should show you whatever output came from trying to run the service.
@irenyak1 If you followed the instructions from that post, the shell scripts you need will bin in /usr/share/tomcat8/bin, so you’ll need to update ExecStart and ExecStop in your service defintion.
You’ll also want to change CATALINA_HOME to point to /usr/share/tomcat8 and CATALINA_BASE to point to /var/lib/tomcat8 (which you may need to create an ensure that the tomcat user and group owns). Finally CATALINA_PID should be /var/run/tomcat8.pid.
