Nice announcement.

Hi @ramonski,

First, thank you for officially releasing Senaite LIMS 2.6.0. I’ve successfully installed a fresh instance of version 2.6.0 on a Linux system (Zorin OS), and overall, it’s working well.

However, I’d like to share a couple of issues I encountered during the installation process that might be helpful for others:

senaite.impress 2.6.0 – Pyphen Dependency
The current version of senaite.impress does not allow the installation of pyphen==0.10.0, which is not compatible with Python 2.7. To resolve this, I had to manually modify the metadata file of the impress egg to permit the installation of pyphen 0.10.0.
Local Server – Waitress Unicode Error
When running the application on the local server, I encountered the following error from Waitress:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd9 in position 3

To work around this, I modified the translogger.py file with the following snippet:

for key in d:
    if isinstance(d[key], str):
        try:
            d[key] = d[key].decode('utf-8')
        except UnicodeDecodeError:
            d[key] = d[key].decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
message = self.format % d

I hope this feedback is useful. Thank you again for the great work on Senaite.

Best regards,
Haider Alwaqfi

Dear @haideralwaqfi,
Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing these valuable insights and workarounds!
I haven’t encountered these issues myself so far, but I’m glad to hear everything is working as expected on your side now.
Let’s hope things get even smoother once we’ve fully migrated to Python 3
Best regards,
Ramon

Hi @ramonski,

Thank you very much for your continuous support. I have been part of this community since 2022, and it has greatly helped my career. I started using Senaite with version 2.4 on Ubuntu 22. Now, thanks to one of your YouTube videos, I have successfully installed a fresh Senaite 2.6 on Ubuntu 24. However, when I try to migrate my old filestorage and blobs to the newer version to consolidate all my data on one server, I encounter several errors.

Do you have any advice on how to migrate data correctly? I apologize if this is a rookie mistake, but I am a chemical engineer with minimal experience in IT.

ramonski · May 21, 2025, 9:18am

Hi @diegoadrian,

Thanks a lot for your message and for sharing your experience with us!

Sorry to hear that your upgrade from 2.4 to 2.6 didn’t go as expected. We know how frustrating that can be. While we’ve put a lot of effort and testing into the upgrade process, issues can still arise depending on the specifics of your data.

The most reliable approach is to perform the upgrades step-by-step through the ZMI, with the server running in foreground mode:

→ How to update SENAITE · SENAITE

This way, you’ll be able to see exactly where the upgrade fails and share the traceback or error message with us. That will help us support you more effectively.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to get your database upgraded to the latest version soon.

Good luck and best regards,
Ramon

Thank you very much for your support @ramonski
the first thing I am trying to do is to clone my senaite 2.4 to a new server, but I believe I am having trouble because of the versions section in the buildout.cfg. I successfully installed Senaite 2.4 but when I try to access any listing, like samples, worksheets, etc., I do not see any table, instead, I get this error:

Should I try to clone my information and then upgrade it, or just go directly to version 2.6?

ramonski · May 22, 2025, 10:53am

Hi @diegoadrian,

The best approach is to install a fresh SENAITE 2.6 version from scratch on your server.
Afterwards, you copy the filestorage and the blobstorage for your current server to the new server, e.g. filstorage goes to /home/senaite/senaitelims/var/filestorage and blobstorage goes to /home/senaite/senaitelims/var/filestorage (unless you have configured it differently).

Then you start your ZEO server and start one instance in foreground mode, e.g. if /home/senaite/senaitelims is your buildout directory and your instance part is named instance, you would do this:

cd /home/senaite/senaitelims
bin/instance fg

Then go to portal_setup and run all upgrade steps one after the other as described here: How to update SENAITE · SENAITE

Don’t forget to run also the upgrade steps of the dependent packages, e.g. senaite.impress, senaite.app.listing, senaite.app.spotlight etc.

Good luck and regards,
Ramon

Hello again @ramonski
Thanks for your instructions. On the new server, I have installed SENAITE 2.6, copied filestrorage and blobstorage where they belong by default, started an instance in foreground mode, and go this error:

APIError: No tool named 'senaite_catalog_contact' found.

Am I missing on how to run also the upgrade steps of the dependent packages, e.g. senaite.impress, senaite.app.listing, senaite.app.spotlight etc.?
Sorry If I seem to rookie, what can I do?
Thanks very much for your help
Best regards,
Diego

Hi @diegoadrian,

It seems like you didn’t follow all the upgrade steps correctly.

The error below arises because of this missing step:

github.com

senaite/senaite.core/blob/2.x/src/senaite/core/upgrade/v02_05_000.zcml#L182-L188


      
          <genericsetup:upgradeStep
              title="SENAITE.CORE 2.5.0: Setup Client Catalog"
              description="Create client catalog and clean up client related indexes and metadata from portal catalog"
              source="2502"
              destination="2503"
              handler=".v02_05_000.setup_client_catalog"
              profile="senaite.core:default"/>

Therefore, I would suggest you run all the upgrade steps once again, starting from 2500.

To do so, you have to select the senaite.core:default profile and click the Show old upgrades button:

Afterwards, start from the 2500 upgrade step and let them run one after the other:

Regarding the first screenshot:

There are no errors displayed, but just deprecation warnings.
As soon as you get this line:

Starting server in PID 55456.
Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8080

your SENAITE instance is up and running correctly.

Please note that it is not recommended to run SENAITE on 0.0.0.0 if it is publicly accessible.

Good luck,
Ramon

Hello again @ramonski
thank you very much for your time and for your words of advice. It has been of great help, I’m almost there! I can see almost all my data now.

As instructed, starting from 2500, there are certain errors I get when upgrading one by one each step:

When I get to SENAITE CORE 2.5.0: Setup Labels, I get this error:

Traceback (innermost last):
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 176, in transaction_pubevents
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 385, in publish_module
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 288, in publish
Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 85, in mapply
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 63, in call_object

Module senaite.core.upgrade.v02_05_000, line 139, in setup_labels
Module senaite.core.setuphandlers, line 280, in add_dexterity_items
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘get’

So I skipped it, and continue with following upgrades. And when getting to SENAITE.CORE 2.6.0: Fix setup folders not indexed in UID catalog I get this next error:

Traceback (innermost last):
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 176, in transaction_pubevents
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 385, in publish_module
Module ZPublisher.WSGIPublisher, line 288, in publish

Module senaite.core.upgrade.v02_06_000, line 2327, in set_referenceable_behavior
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘objectValues’

And this error repeats itself for every single upgrade that contains a shift to Dexterity in 2.6.0

Rookie me, but I decided to try many different upgrades, even upgrading all the way back from 2.3.0 untill 2.6.0 or even 2.5.0, and actually almost everything works, except that I cannot see analyses in the sample’s profile, as shown:

Which in foreground mode shows the following:

I am really grateful for all the help you have provided me. I hope this message finds you well.
Kind regards,
