Problem with chat zimlet after zextras upgrade to 2.6.0

[nkoz]

Hi zextras team,

We recently upgraded our zextras suite to version 2.6.0. After that all users get the following informational pop up when entering zimbra web interface "The ZeXtras Chat Zimlet need to be updated!,Current ZxChat Zimlet version: 1.36,Needed ZxChat Zimlet version: 1.37". I am trying to upgrade through the admin interface but this is not possible (I press the Check for updates button, but after some time I am getting a message saying that available version is : 0). So I tried to upgrade it manually using instructions from this link : https://wiki.zextras.com/wiki/ZxChat..._Install_Guide (the manual installation part). I am running the deploy command but what I am getting at log files is this:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: zimlet description not found: com_zextras_chat.xml
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.initZimletDescript ion(ZimletFile.java:250)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.initialize(ZimletF ile.java:206)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.(ZimletFile.java:1 54)

Is there something I could do in order to make this work ?

Regards,
Nickitas

Details of your ZCS version (NE or OSS) & release might be a help.

it seems to me that the error come from the zxchat service that require an inexistant version.

zxsuite chat getServerStatus

server_status running
active_users_count 17
active_sessions_count 19
DB_version 3
required_zimlet 1.37
chat_server_version 2.0

il require 1.37 but there is only 1.36 zimlet.

Hello nkoz, TheActarus and dominix.

Yes, we had been informed that there are some specific conditions on which installation process is not able to the find and deploy the new ZxChat Zimlet.

In this cases, you could still manually install the zimlet, following the guide published on the wiki - https://wiki.zextras.com/wiki/ZxChat...l_installation.

Latest ZxChat zimlet should always be downloaded here - https://download.zextras.com/com_zextras_chat.zip

@nkoz, there was an issue whit the server cache during the publishing of the package. Could you verify the md5sum of the downloaded package?

MD5 (com_zextras_chat.zip) = 3c80c3d1d549ecc82e96de186fc2441e

If you still have any issue, installing or using the chat, please open a support request at ZeXtras Support Portal, reporting Zimbra, Zextras and Browser version.

Hi larcara,

I did followed your recommendation, I was indeed having another file. I installed the pointed zimlet but some users are now complaining that they see emoticons in mail subjects and body. Is this a known issue ?

by the way, it appear to me that this problem only appear with older Zimbra version, older than 8.5
I've just upgraded to 8.7.11 and the reinstall of zextras just went fine.
