Description

Problem

AlmostVPN is not saving preferences.

To Reproduce

Start AlmostVPN, create a new account and then quit out of System Preferences.

NOTE

This is only a blocker if it still exists outside of the test version. It does not seem to be an issue with RC2

  • keywords set to preferences.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to worksforme.
  • component changed from component1 to PreferencePanel.

It looks like it is specific to RC 2.5. And I sort of remember that I did fix something in preferences after I have sent you 2.5 for testing. In any case, it does work with latest and greatest.

Previous comment is incorrect. AlmostVPN used to "forget" partially defined things. So if you have created new AlmostVPN connection, enter host name but did not enter service name/number, then such connection will be considered invalid and will not be saved. New behavior implemented for RC3.

  1. AlmostVPN is saving all things, regardless of the fact that they are complete or partially defined.
  2. If thing is incomplete, then it will be automatically marked as inactive and "active/inactive" checkbox will be disabled (so it will be impossible to make it active again, until it have not become "valid").
  3. This is how AlmostVPN decides what is valid and what is not: To be valid ... must have not empty ...
    • AlmostVPN Connection ... server name and service name
    • Drive ... server name, path, user name
    • Tunnel ... host name, from port, to port
  4. If thing was valid and later become invalid it will be deactivated again.
