New stalker version being able to read old stalker database about stalker HOT 9 CLOSED

Fixed in ef21f1b

Mmm, that's weird. I just wanted to read the database (created in Stalker 0.2.17.6) in version 02.18 and got an error. I checked again with opening a database created with Stalker 0.2.15.1 (just to be sure) and got the same error. This is when using db.setup(). So it seems to do exactly what you would like it to do. Strange that you didn't get this. This is the traceback I got:

----> 1 db.setup()

/Volumes/data/src/project_management/stalker/stalker/db/__init__.py in setup(settings)
     70     # check alembic versions of the database
     71     # and raise an error if it is not matching with the system
---> 72     check_alembic_version()
     73
     74     # create the database

/Volumes/data/src/project_management/stalker/stalker/db/__init__.py in check_alembic_version()
    213     if current_alembic_version and current_alembic_version != alembic_version:
    214         raise ValueError(
--> 215             'Please update the database to version: %s' % alembic_version
    216         )

@fredrikaverpil what is the alembic_version of the database that you are trying to connect with Stalker 0.2.18.

I don't have access to that database until maybe tomorrow, as I'm working from home due to an Internet outage at our studio. But looking at #51, it should be f2005d1fbadc.

Is this issue still present, can we close it or does it need further investigation.

I can check today if 0.2.20 can read a 0.2.18 database and will report back.

This issue can be closed! 👍 😄

When attempting to connect to a 0.2.18 db with Stalker 0.2.20, I get this:

Please update the database to version: ed0167fff399

from stalker.

Thanks 👍

I found that upon connecting to an older database, even that Stalker is raising a ValueError (where it should be raising some database related error) the session remains open, so this issue is not closed yet. I'll commit a fix soon.
