Installation Issue API Error in portal_registry

Technical Questions and Answers
1

Hi Everyone,

I’m very much a noob around here and trying to figure out my way around senaite. I’m trying to set up a test install to see if it would work for our needs and if someone with my abilities or less could setup and maintain the system.

I’ve installed Senaite on a Debian VM and followed a mixture of the install instructions as well as what the docker github guide did. I currently have a working version of senaite and it looks very nice. I’m going through and trying to set things up and get comfortable with the UI. Unfortunately, I have run into an error with the portal registry. I’m assuming I just have a setting in the config file wrong or I failed to add a library that I should have. I get the following error when I click on Configuration Registry.

We’re sorry, but there seems to be an error…

I’m not sure what other information I should provide, but would be greatly appreciative if somebody could point me in the right direction. Below is my buildout.cfg minus the comment lines if this helps.

Hi @iain,

this bug was already fixed here: Fix traceback when accessing registry by ramonski · Pull Request #2158 · senaite/senaite.core · GitHub and will be part of the next 2.4.0 release. For now I would recommend to use the latest versions of SENAITE instead for testing, e.g. one of the tags 2.x or edge

https://hub.docker.com/r/senaite/senaite/tags

Best regards,
Ramon

Thank you very much Ramonski! I switched over to using the docker version and installed the 2.x version and now have it working nicely.
