PowerShell Universal - 5.1.0

after updating to 5.1.0 none of my data is showing up anymore

Is this just affecting your app or more wide spread than that? I don’t think there were any changes to app parameter sets nor did I see this specifically so I’d need some help tracking it down.

its affecting my app with every data table, i went back to 5.0.16 and thinks went back to normal its just happening in 5.1.0

i can share a code if that helps

Below is my initial script that app will call when it starts

$token = “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”

$headers = @{Authorization = “token $($token)”

Accept = “application/vnd.github.v3.raw”

}

$EndPoints = (Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $headers -Uri https://api.github.com/repos/test/dashboardStage/contents/EndPoints -UseBasicParsing).Content | ConvertFrom-Json

$EndPoints = $EndPoints | where {$.type -eq “file”} | Select -exp download_url | ForEach-Object {

Invoke-Expression $((Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $headers -Uri $ -UseBasicParsing).Content)

}

$Pages = (Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $headers -Uri https://api.github.com/repos/test/dashboardStage/contents/Pages -UseBasicParsing).Content | ConvertFrom-Json

$Pages = $Pages | where {$.type -eq “file”} | Select -exp download_url | ForEach-Object {

Invoke-Expression $((Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $headers -Uri $ -UseBasicParsing ).Content)

}

New-UDDashboard -Pages $Pages -Title “test” -Theme (Get-UDTheme -Name ‘MaterialDesign’)

i have my code in github and above script will download endpoints and pages and it works great up to 5.0.16 its just for some reason it errors out with 5.1.0

Ok. We did do some work on -LoadData for the table to return more data back to caller about columns. Could be related. Can you share your table code, even if you have to trim it a bit?

here is also the code for a page with services table

New-UDPage -Name “Services” -Icon (New-UDIcon -Icon rotate -Size 1x) -Content {

Thanks. I will take a look shortly.

Here what i was able to narrow based on the initial code i provided first

New-UDEndpoint: Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters. One or more parameters issued cannot be used together or an insufficient number of parameters were provided.

so it seems the issue has nothing to do with the table its with reading new-udendpoint.

some extra log error after removing

-Schedule (New-UDEndpointSchedule -Every 1 -Day) from new-udendpoint -endpoint

Hi,

Just tried to migrate from 5.0.16 to 5.1.0 on Windows MSI, but it failed to start :

@AnonymousUser

Based on the line number, this looks like it’s failing to start because the JWT key is missing in the app settings. Did you change this value at all?

@chauberg

I’ll open an issue for this. Do this only happen on apps or every editor?

Milestone: 5.1.1 Milestone · GitHub

Works fine on Scripts and under Settings > Files

Ok. Thank you. I’m not seeing this behavior at the moment.

Can you tell me more about your app? Are you using multiple pages, the module editor? Is it a pretty big app?

Seems unrelated to the App itself, happens on all Apps for us, small or big. No pages.

@Adam Driscoll

You are right, something went wrong with the backup of the config file (appsettings.json)

I’ve retry to update, and now it’s working. Thank you !

Groom is failing here after the update. Any ideas?

Can you let me know what DB type you are using?

SQLite. It was an upgrade from 4.4.1 if that makes a difference.

I just restored a snapshot to roll back to 5.0.16. 5.1.0 was causing a memory leak. The Universal.Server.exe was taking 4.9 GB of memory, and the entire server was unresponsive. No changes to any scripts or schedules were made post-upgrade from 5.0.16 to 5.1.0.

Seeing the same here, after 24hr or so I’m up to ~5gb. Only 2 apps, normal usage seems like 1gb after a restart.

I do update a large hashtable every hour into the persistent cache, I was wondering if it wasn’t purging the old values automatically when overwritten.

If would be very helpful if either of you could collect a memory dump that I can analyze. I can provide a dropbox link in a DM to upload it to.

I’ve already gone back to 5.0.16 so I can’t provide that unless I upgrade again. I will upgrade my test environment. but we don’t run anything there, so I don’t know for sure that it’ll happen on that system.

5.1.0 upgrade went well for me.

4 days up, I just checked memory and we are at 2GB, but the server is not being used heavily.

I have process explorer running and keep an eye on it.

So far my dev. environment hasn’t had a memory issue, but it’s literally not doing anything other than running whatever internal healthchecks and tasks PSU runs on any installation.

I think we’ve found root cause for the memory issue. Entity Framework (our DB ORM), it eagerly loading tons of data during job executions. This is causing both large amounts of data to be returned from the database and then equally amounts of large data to be updated in the database. This puts a ton of strain on both PSU and the DB. Additionally, the eager loading is happening when using Get-PSUJob or viewing the jobs table, which can put more load on the system.

On small, less busy environments it was likely not noticeable but once that jobs table reaches a certain size, it will be. It is possible to reproduce this by running 10s of jobs at once or by using child jobs. It will also cause jobs to have invalid state and time stamps. It looks like this was a problem since somewhere in the 5.0.x release but I’m not clear on the specific version or why 5.1 exasperated the problem.

We’ll have a 5.1.2 release coming out shortly to address this.

Oh. Well, that sounds likely. We do have some very heavy hitting jobs that run overnight, and some do do use Get-PSUJob.
