Item13357: Configure issues installing older extensions

Configure crashes trying to install GenPDFAddOn. Seems to be an issue in the definition of the Switchboard entry in Config.spec.

Failure:

Undefined subroutine &Foswiki::Configure::Value::HASH called at (eval 673) line 1.

Any more information? Such as: (1) command-line or browser (2) exactly what you did (3) stack dumps/log contents?

• Installed Beta 1, bootstrap and save config
• Search for GenPDF extension
• Study, and Install "GenPDFAddOn"

Install runs, and at conclusion a pink error pop-up occurs:

Fails using shell installer as well, but no stackdump returned:

All done, i think.

Sorry Crawford, I still can't install extensions on 1.2.0. I searched for ControlWikiWordPlugin. 2 issues

1. On the search results, the checkbox is also the link to the Extensions web, so when I click the checkbox to select the extension, it opens a new browser window for the Extensions web topic.
2. After the crash, revisiting the configuration, all the new config variables report May not be undefined
3. It crashes after the install with:

I also tried GenPdfAddOn ... same issues.

Steps to recreate:

• Generate a new beta. cd tools && perl build.pl release
• Extract into a new install, bootstrap and save config.
• Search for new extensions: "GenPDF" or "ControlWiki"
• Select GenPDFAddOn, or ControlWikiWordPlugin and try to install.

The Package.pm was not adding what it read from Config.spec of the package back into the root config, so the reporter had no way of knowing what type the newly added things were. It needs that type, as it uses it to correctly format the values it sends back to the UI.

Once again, "should be OK now"
