BGA Studio is (no more) down

[Een]

Hi
How do I acess deveolver's tools? I'ts been years, but I'd love to start again

Hi!
https://studio.boardgamearena.com

[fred_eli]

Could you please restore the "sharedgarden" and "secretgarden" projects ? I'll try to finish them before Christmas...
Thanks in advance!

Done

Thanks ! I see it somewhat back online but I have some problems (maybe linked):
* the games are not listed in my "manage game" (for the elif0 account)
* no developer is listed for either of these two games
* start (or express start) both fail with errors about JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX after complaining about

No such file or directory in /var/tournoi/release/tournoi-211125-1022-gs/www/include/APP_DbObject.inc.php on line 712
{"status":"0","error":"BGA service error (reference: GS1 29\/11 09:26:49)","expected":0,"code":100} (reference: GS0 29/11 09:26:49)

If I connect as elif to 1.studio.boardgamearena.com, I see hearts and reversi tests, but not these two games.

How can I manage the files if I don't see the project (nor in the global list, nor in my control panel) ? Is it linked to the fact that it's a prototype, with no BGG Id ? How to join these projects back ?

I read the other messages about clearing boardgamearena cookies, but that didn't solve my issue.

Thanks in advance
fred_eli / elif

P.S. I never could use the fred_eli account on studio, hence the elif accounts

Indeed as this project was old and had been previously logically deleted (after one year inactivity), some extra steps were required. It should be good now.

Thanks! SecretGarden can grow again

I'm having the same issue, I believe. Can you please restore medievalhustle? I'm returning to work on it have a lengthy hiatus.

@Een, I'm not sure what's happening, but ever since this was restored, I'm not able to affect the game when I upload changes via SFTP.

I'm able to login via SFTP (1.studio.boardgamearena.com with the user JorgeJones), and I'm able to transfer files and see that they've updated. But when I play the game, the code updates that I've loaded are not reflected.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?

If it's about the interface, did you make sure to flush your browser cache?
If it's about your gameinfos/gameoptions, did you reload them from the manage page?
If it's about the server side code, try for example throwing an error in your getAllDatas() ; that should definitely be reflected.

It is now running on dedicated modern servers with a more recent OS and php version 7.4 (same configuration as the alpha server, which is a good thing).

Does it mean we can use PHP 7.4 code ? In other words, are production server also on 7.4 ? If they aren't there is a risk code work on studio but doesn't work on production.
If it is possible to use PHP 7.4, big thanks, I've been waiting for it

No... The full BGA infrastructure has a lot of servers now. Evolving it takes time, and we still have several gameservers running php 7.2. We can hope to phase them out in 3-4 months maybe, but for now game modules should stay compatible with php7.2.

I didn't mess up too much with that prediction
We have now upgraded all production game servers to PHP 7.4.
