Hi there,
I have an old installation on a laptop - Builder 0.1.1 and Framework 1.1.1. It reports the new available versions so I tried node upgrade.js but it just says checking for upgrades... then goes back to command prompt.
Am I wasting my time trying to troubleshoot or should it be possible to upgrade?
Helen
And if it's not possible for me to upgrade, am I able to export my old courses using RoboMongo somehow and get it into my new install of MongoDB? And copy across the course folder to complete the job? I know there would probably be tweaks needed....
Or maybe I'm better to just recreate them all from scratch?

Hmmm progress - updated upgrade.js from the current adapt_authoring repo and now seems to be doing it's thang.....
OKay doing it's thang stopped at "Upgrading the Adapt Builder...please hold on!". Darnit.
Hi Helen,
check this wiki out for the Upgrading from 0.11 to 1.xx part.
I recorded the solution provided by Brian when I had the problem during upgrading from 0.11 to 1.xx.
cheers
Sam
Ahh you star - thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll give that a go!
Hey Sam it all seems to be going fine, have node 4.3.0 installed, git pull ok, run the npm install with --production (get a lot of WARN! deprecated messages), but I still get the same problem when I run node upgrade.js :(
Any thoughts?
OK I see some error messages in the cmd line :
C:\Users\Helen\adapt_authoring\node_modules\weak>if not defined npm_config_node_
gyp (node "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nodist\bin\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\

Does that help?
OK I installed Python and the MS Virtual StudioBuild files it wanted - less errors now - cmd window full of green text and numbers but last line says :
warn adapt-origin@0.1.1 no licence field
And I still can't update.

EDIT - and now all my courses have VANISHED?!?!!!! :(
The Mongo DB data and course folders are still there but no courses appear in my dashboard...
It's all working!!! Thank you guys so much for the pointers.
Wow it took a bit of doing but it's updated and my courses are back.
Thank you Thank you!
Great Helen,
But what were the final steps you needed to do to get it all back?
Reason why I ask, is that your pointers could be a good addition to the Wiki Sam mentioned. This way it will be better in the future for others to do a similar upgrade.

Sorry I did say but it was up there ^ in my response to Brian.
From a working version of v0.1.1, after installing new node (i had been on 0.10.33 but went to 4.3.0) - using nvm-windows (nodist was throwing server errors) I followed the Wiki's steps.
But after it complaining several times I had to do the following too in between the git pull and the rest :
install Python 2.7.11 - https://www.python.org/downloads/ (it complained about python as per above)
install MS Visual Studio Build tools - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40760 (it complained that it could not find msbuild.exe)
then i realised by looking at some error which I forget, sadly, that it couldn't find the adapt-cli, so i did the "npm install adapt-cli -g" from the original install, followed by the "npm install grunt-cli -g".
That seemed to unlock everything it needed and then it worked.
I was just clutching at straws for most of it, wish I'd paid more attention now!
HTH a little
Helen
