Sorry, I meant to post this here instead of the root of "Beta versions". I noticed the post in the General Problem solving forum regarding file triggers not working in version 7.7.8. I did some testing and it appears that the change made in version 7.7.7 regarding file triggers has caused this problem. Fortunately, we are still on version 7.7.4 in our production environment. In our test environment, I tested file triggers using version 7.7.6 and they work as expected. However, in version 7.7.7, they do not work with a file watch type of "Created". Can you please fix this in version 7.7.8?

There is no known problem with File Triggers. I recall a post but it was a misunderstanding.

You can do a very simple test using versions 7.7.6 and versions 7.7.7 or 7.7.8 and see that the triggers work in 7.7.6 and they don't work in 7.7.7 & 7.7.8. I don't think it was a misunderstanding.

We did a test with Created + Filename (when polling is false) with success. Did you try any othe test?

I have a set of test jobs that I run after installing a new version of VC. One of the jobs copies 30 PDF files into a folder. There is another job that has a file trigger with a watch type of Created on that folder. That job executes list, rename and delete tasks which result in the folder being empty after the job runs. After I initially installed 7.7.7, the job with the file trigger was no longer triggering. I installed 7.7.6 and the job started triggering again. I just reinstalled 7.7.7 and now the file triggers are working again. Very odd!

Hi Henrik,

Minor Point, but in Set Job Variable Task you can prompt on Variable Name without Specifying Job and it prompts OK (Active Job). I think this is OK, but perhaps "No Job Selected" could be "Active Job" or "Current Job" or it could default to Current Job Name ?

2015-10-29_Variable Job on Active Job Works (No Job Selected).png

*But* if you leave the Job as "No Job Selected" and chose a Job variable from the current job and set its value you are allowed to save that task.
Then when you run that Task it will be "Exception in Task: Job not found"

2015-10-29_Job_Not_Found when Task Run.png

Which is correct, but not as helpful as defaulting to the Active Job, or stopping a save of that task until a Job is specified ?

---

p.s. HTTP Task additions to set Security Protocols nice addition - Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. We did some changes in the final version. However we do not preselect the current Job if it is totally new because, in most cases, the name is not set which might be confusing. Other changes were implemented.
