Sugar 6 Module Builder remove custom files created manually

**solid** · 2012-01-18, 01:49 PM

Hi!

We are in the process to upgrade our Sugar 5.5 to Sugar 6.3. We are creating back all our custom modules in Module Builder of Sugar 6. I create a new package, with 2 modules in it, then deploy it. Worked without a hitch.

I then created manually some custom files in the custom/Extension/modules directory, some vardefs, layoutdefs, metadata, and language files. Still no problem. Then I got back to Module Builder to modify the EditView, and deploy the package again. And then surprise! All the files I created manually were gone! This was not the behavior I expected, since Sugar 5.5 Module Builder don't do that.

Am I doing things correctly in Sugar 6 to be upgrade-safe, or there is somewhere I should put my manually created custom files to avoid they be removed by Module Builder on deploy?

Thanks.

Can you add a bug this at SugarCRM Bug Tracker | Open Source Business & Social CRM - SugarCRM This is a known issue but I'm not sure if there is an open bug for this.

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for your answer.

I took a quick look at the bugs for Module Builder in Sugar 6.3.0, and there is nothing like what I described. I'm gonna open a new bug.

If it's a known issue, do you think that it could be solved by upgrading to Sugar 6.3.1?

Thanks.
