What is Nightly and where do I get it?

[coalado]

Our so called "nightly" version is NOT meant to be a public release.
The nightly Version is a developer version only which enables us to test the latest source in "live-conditions" (updatesystem, dlc, packaging,...)

Thus, it often contains serious bugs.

DO NOT USE OR EVEN UPDATE TO NIGHTLY UNLESS WE TELL YOU TO DO SO!

Thanks for the help...

here's the tutorial....

How to: Nightly Build

Another possibility to get the NIGHTLY-Version is to:

1. Create a new text document (eg. .txt) in the JDownloader-Folder
2. Write:

 java -jar jdupdate.jar -branch NIGHTLY

into it
3. and save the document as a .bat file

Now just execute it...

How i can update to "NIGHTLY"?
when i try java -jar jdupdate.jar -branch NIGHTLY
get errr... :
Branch NIGHTLY is not available any more. Reset to default.

And update to 0.6.193.

It worked for me using the method posted by Minos.

The new GUI looks sweet. BTW, what should I do when the next stable release comes out to stop updating from the nightly branch?

-branch reset

Thx you, the Nightly runs good!
Best Method are the txt.file from Minus!

Yes, 10.535 was this week. We get new nightly builds at least as often as there are plugin updates. Sometimes we test a new feature and it is gone in the next release.

You shouldn't use Nightly if you do not have to or you are a very experienced computer user with some sys-admin background.

hey how can i get it for ubuntu linux?

ok found it: open terminal in ur jd directory and then copy

 java -jar jdupdate.jar -branch NIGHTLY

But when i do this then it asks for another update and it turn to the stable rlease...what sould i do?

[drbits]

@mal93
First: You know that Nightly is only for experienced users. It is a test version. You take your chances using it.
Second: Why do you want to use Nightly (read the first post in this thread).

Make sure you backup your database (Ctrl+B).

Try

java -Xmx512m -jar jdupdate.jar -restore -branch NIGHTLY

You might have to remove the -X parameter if your version of Java does not support it. However, it might be necessary.

If it still does not work, look in your JDownloader directory for update.log or updateLog.txt. Also look for restarter.log or restarterLog.txt.
Combine these in a RAR archive and attach to a message in this thread. To attach, click Go Advanced, then scroll down and click Manage Attachments. The rest should be obvious.

Spoiler:

Oftmals findet man Nightly Builds im Open-Source-Bereich zum Download. Diese Versionen enthalten die neuesten Softwareänderungen und Patches, allerdings kann man nicht davon ausgehen, dass sie hinreichend getestet sind. In der Regel wird vom Einsatz eines Nightly Builds in einer Produktionsumgebung abgeraten und statt dessen auf eine „stabile Version“ (Stable) verwiesen.

So JD nightly not a right nightly because there are not the newest Version in it can u see it now????

I have a problem with the update of JD language.

I have an account to save in SVN repository the langauge file.

Started nightly build (build 15949).

Load langauge file. Edit it.

Then I select "Sve and sento to SVN".

I got an error

No entry at URL "svn://svn.jdownloader.org/jdownloader/trunk/resourcen/jd/language"

What can I do ?

Thanks.

[drbits]

M$: "Beta"=Test,
"RTM"=Beta Test,
Automatisch Aktualisierung=Notfall-Reparaturen.

JD: "Nightly" = normalerweise betreibt,
"Beta" = betreibt,
Automatisch Aktualisierung= Website hat sich geändert,
"Stable"=Warten auf nächsten Freigabe

Is there any advantages for the "public" if they get this?

[drbits]

Nightly has a lot of fixed bugs, a lot of new features, and a few new bugs. If you read Coalado's (one of the project managers) message at the beginning of this thread, you will see that he recommends that people only use Nightly if they have a problem that is fixed in Nightly.

I use Nightly almost every day, because I am testing it for any major problems. However, there have been days when it hasn't worked at all.

Im planning on doing the rss listener for JDownloader (third party). Do you recomend me to use Nightly or do it with the public version?

Thanks

The nightly or the developer of our svn http://svn.jdownloader.org/projects/show/jd

Ok thanks. I just talk to jiaz and have a nice talk about it ^^.

[drbits]

The discussion so far has been Nightly related, so I will not move it.

Please move further discussion of RSS to the RSS thread.

[BoeseBZ]

Ich bekomme die nightly einfach nicht!
Ob ich eine Bat erstelle:
java -jar jdupdate.jar -branch NIGHTLY

oder dies in die Verknüpfung schreibe. Er Updated nicht auf die Nightly

[drbits]

cd /d <jdownloader directory>
java -Xmx512m -jar jdupdate.jar -restore -branch NIGHTLY

[maximumfap]

I have no choice but to switch to nightly, the filewriter plugin appears to be broken in version 0.9.580 - no one seems to be reporting it or cares :/

Please provide a detailed bug report as required in the General Bugreport forum and please don't don't report a problem with the Stable version in the Nightly forum.

Why would I report the bug when it's obviously fixed now?

Wie switche ich zur Stable zurück? Ich habe den Konsolenbefehl oben schon mit STABLE ausgeführt, aber etwas macht mich stutzig:

BRANCHINUSE=stable, BRANCH=STABLE, SERVERLIST=[http://update0.jdownloader.org/branches/NIGHTLY/ (-1%), http://update1.jdownloader.org/branches/NIGHTLY/ (-1%), http://update2.jdownloader.org/branches/NIGHTLY/ (-1%), http://update3.jdownloader.org/branches/NIGHTLY/ (-1%)]}
{}

Executing / Ausführen von

java -Xmx512m -jar jdupdate.jar -restore -branch STABLE
java -Xmx512m -jar jdupdate.jar -branch RESET

in your jD folder should to the trick / in Ihrem jD Ordner sollte es tun.

How often NIGHTLY versions are come out? According to logs fixes comes out regularry, but for example now I have 13350 and for 4 or 5 days no updates.

[drbits]

The NIGHTLY updates come out when the developers have something they want us to test. Remember, that is the purpose of NIGHTLY. We usually also get an update when the plugins are updated.

I usually expect 1 to 10 updates a month in NIGHTLY.

[Jiaz]

next nightly will come soon, we are currently changing internals and svn is not working very good

[editestowy]

Still no new Nightly after 13350 ?

I've been using Nightly for a long time now (too long) because I was told to do so as there was a problem with one of the plugins (depositfiles if I remember correctly).

Because some functions don't seem to work in Nightly I'm changing back to Stable version but wanted to know if it's possible to run both?

I would use the regular version and only use the Nightly if there is a (temporarely) problem with one of the plugins.

[Jiaz]

you can do it by installing nightly into its own jd folder

Thanks, will try it

Where can i see NIGHTLY Changelog and which is the last version?

[drbits]

The NIGHTLY changelog is http://svn.jdownloader.org/projects/jd/issues

The latest release is 13350. So, all changes applied after that revision have not been released yet. Note, the changelog includes both revisions and bug tracker issues (bugs, feature requests, and comments).

Clicking on the number of a revision or issue should display the associated information. I have heard reports that not everybody can display the information. If you have a problem, please e-mail support@jdownloader.com. Remember to include your username.

würde auch gerne mal die Nightly testen aber ich bekomme es nicht hin
weder mit einer bat mit diesem Inhalt java -Xmx512m -jar jdupdate.jar -restore -branch NIGHTLY
noch über das cmd Fenster wenn ich in das Verzeichnis gehe was kann ich noch tun. Bekomme immer die Fehlermeldung Der Befehl java wäre nicht richtig geschrieben oder würde nicht gefunden.
Kann man die Nightly nicht direkt wo runter laden??
