History: Troubleshooting Profiles

View page

Source of version: 9 (current)

If you are having a problem with a profile published here (and categorized as being at least "alpha", try ((Troubleshooting Existing Profiles)).

! Troubleshooting New Profiles
Should you find your new profile does not do what you want it to then here are some things to check.

^NB: Data Channels don't provide any error information. If you are developing datachannels, test as profiles first^

!! If it does nothing
Check the declaration of the CODE plugin is exactly like this:
{CODE()}{CODE(caption=>YAML)}
  [your YAML goes in here]
{CODE}
{CODE}
''Note: there must not be quotes around YAML and the ">" after the "=" is required.''

!! If you get a "Profile cannot be parsed" (or whatever it says - TODO check) or blank page (sometimes)
Indentation matters and it has to be consistent in a "code block" Check the indentation carefully and compare yours with working profiles. It has to be very precise. It actually doesn't matter the amount of spaces (can be 1 space, 2 or 10) but each "level" has to be indented with the __same amount__ of spaces.


!! Object References

A typo can cause a whole profile to fail if a certain object referred to anywhere in it does not exist.   

Is your ref: statement in the second level? It should be the same indent as type, not with data.


!! Applying some YAML on the fly
Sometimes, you just want to test that a particular section of the YAML is working, without having to go through the whole profile installation routine again.

A useful tool for doing that is the profile testing tool at tiki-admin.php?page=profiles -> Advanced -> Profile tester. You will see at the bottom a text field where you can copy and paste some YAML.

Use with care, and only on tests sites!
