Invoice Ninja 5 (beta)

[nebulon]

@telos-one according to their readme, 5 is still beta, we will update the package once it is stable and hopefully there will some solid migration possible as well.

Hi, I'm one of the developers of Invoice Ninja. Really cool to see all of the interest in v5, we've been working on it for a while now and are extremely excited to release it!

We actually just reached out to Clourdon to discuss getting the package ready for our stable release in a few weeks, they shared this thread with us.

If you have any questions about the new version I'm happy to answer them. Also, any feedback on the new version would be very much appreciated!

@hillel369 thanks! hopefully, we can get a unstable version of v5 for people to test out in the coming week or two already.

@hillel369 Hey, great to see another app developer here and I'm certain you're very welcome! Hope you're enjoying Cloudron too

Great work on v6 too! I think I posted or emailed this a while back but a "compact mode" for the UI, similar to GMail. Guessing the UI framework might already have an option for that it is is in common?

Just got an email from IN declaring v5 stable. It looks awesome.

Indeed and we are working with them to get a v5 package out. There is one pending issue for the moment which is fixed in the next upstream release. Once that is done, we will release it to the library as a separate app since there is no automatic migration path.

@nebulon THANK YOU! Really looking forward to the v5 release!

[nebulon]

I have published a v5 package now (this is a separate entry in the app listing) as unstable. Would be great to get some feedback on this.

As the unstable tag indicates, this is not yet ready for production. Also the data migration has to be done manually as there is no automated way to perform this for now.

The migration process is outlined at https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/migration/

@nebulon One think I notice is this error. Seems like theres an issue with the cron? WOnderful job packaging this by the way! I love the look of v5. Looks like it was made in the last decade

My guess: missing symlink to /app/data
Same with Documents/Files

[0.2.0]

• Update to InvoiceNinja 5.1.25

[nebulon]

[0.3.0]

• Add REST API tests
• Fix logo and company documents upload

Still not sure how to fix the cron job warning, the cronjobs as such run every minute.

@nebulon Odd... so its more so an issue of Invoice Ninja not being aware that they are running?

[nebulon]

@atrilahiji I think so yes, will create an upstream bug report once I have more info.

In the meantime there is another bug with login form submission, I've created an issue at https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/issues/5148

[nebulon]

[0.4.0]

• Update InvoiceNinja to 5.1.26

[nebulon]

[0.5.0]

• Update InvoiceNinja to 5.1.27

[nebulon]

[0.5.1]

• Fixup artisan cronjobs

This will fix the cron warning. Root cause were some php features which were disabled by default in the ubuntu php.ini but were required by artisan.

Are there any further outstanding issues anyone has detected?

500: Internal Server Error
Quotes -> View PDF / EMail quote

Same for Invoices.

From the log:

[2021-03-18 16:38:53] production.ERROR: The file "/app/data/public-storage/w5ydmyvt3smecevxmv4ahznnxdpdpk4rpqsbfreldfpzdgjk8nlcsoyikm85newy/WUFzx8BMMlNLapGCed7k1p4MtLipFTpsrTHHOV1i/quotes/0001.pdf" does not exist {"exception":"[object] (Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\File\\Exception\\FileNotFoundException(code: 0): The file \"/app/data/public-storage/w5ydmyvt3smecevxmv4ahznnxdpdpk4rpqsbfreldfpzdgjk8nlcsoyikm85newy/WUFzx8BMMlNLapGCed7k1p4MtLipFTpsrTHHOV1i/quotes/0001.pdf\" does not exist at /app/code/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/File/File.php:36)

And yes: it's true. There is no /quotes/* in the public-storage folder. No idea why!

Thanks for trying out the beta!

For the cron issue can you confirm that the crons are running? It can help to manually run the cron from the command line removing the parts after >

cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run

https://invoiceninja.github.io/docs/self-host-installation/#cron-configuration-1

For the PDF error which renderer are you using Chrome or PhantomJS? I'd be curious to know if changing between them helps.
