SDK Maintenance tool script error

Applications
#1

I’m on SDK version 2.2.4, but I haven’t seen a nag to upgrade recently. When I click Help|Check for Updates, I see the green progress bar but I get no output.

So I tried the SDK Maintenance Tool Update Components function and after quickly downloading some repo stuff, it show the following error message:

Exception while loading the component script “/tmp/remoterepo-7ax1MW/org.merproject.mersdk/installscript.qs”: SyntaxError: Unexpected token `’ on line number: 393

At this point, I can’t do anything but OK the error message and quit the tool. If I look at the tmp file before quitting the Maintenance Tool cleans it up, I can see the line in question, but I don’t have the knowledge to attempt to debug the problem.

Is this fixable or work-aroundable? Is my installed version too old to upgrade? Should I just remove the existing SDK version and start over with a fresh install (will the Maintenance Tool successfully uninstall the old one?)

#2

Newer SDKs seem to have different mappings for files it tries to download. Fresh install worked for me (though my emulator opens in black screen which never resolves, but I think it’s unrelated) and is probably the easiest solution.

#3

Your version is too old. Re-installation is the only reliable option in this case.

On macOS and Linux you should also manually remove the old configuration under ~/.config/Sailfish*SDK (on Windows configuration is removed during uninstallation).

Thanks for the tips! BTW, Jolla, an error message might have been nice from the Maintenance Tool, though . . . :frowning:

#5

That did it all right.I installed SDK 3.2.10 after successfully using previously installed maintenance tool to remove old version and removing the old config manually.
