Web Component GotFile Broken

Thanks for the report @TAIMAI2. I'll put it on the list to work on today.

We really need help. Thanks!

@TIMAI2

In Android 9 it works for me setting a name in ResponseFileName.

Works with Screen1.DefaultFileScope
Legacy, App, Private, ...

borrar_bajar_arch.aia (2.1 KB)

borrar_imagen

Yes, it works if you give it a filename, but you should be able to download without giving a filename, AI2 will create one for you. (unless it has suddenly fixed itself...)

@ewpatton

Any news here?

Error 1101 is still present when trying to reach a file on a server using WEB component

We are aiming to update ai2-test today with bug fixes for the various components affected by write permission issues in the new release. The web fix should be included as part of this update.

Tested today on the test server and it still does not work!

It still gives error 1101 unable to get a response with the specified URL

[EDIT]

Just compiled and installed on Android 11 device

Works with a filename supplied, saves to ASD, but does not work if no filename is provided

In my case, I have tried providing a filename and it doesn't work either, it gives me the error.

Note that if you're using the test server, you also need to install the test companion from that server. If you're using companion 2.61 or 2.61u, that companion corresponds to the nb187 release.

Any news concerning the Web.GotText Problem?

You can check back here for latest release information

http://appinventor.mit.edu/ai2/ReleaseNotes.html

A proposed fix is available on ai2-test.appinventor.mit.edu. If you plan to test with the companion app, you'll need to sideload the version provided by that server under the Help>Companion Information menu. The version number of the test companion is 2.61t2u.

Dear @ewpatton,

Thank you very much!!

The Problem still exists on the TESTSERVER:

I think I have figured out the underlying issue.

I've set up a test server with a new companion (2.61d1u) containing my proposed fix here: http://webfix.ai2-ewpatton-temp.appspot.com/

If you have time, please try it out and let me know what happens.

this path looks somehow strange, doesn't it?
I would expect to get it downloaded into the ASD directly...
