JS error after Update 3 - Responsive HTML 5

I just updated RH 2017 with Update 3 and when I try to compile Responsive HTML 5, it won't load. There's a JS error with our customized Azure Blue screen layout.

I have 2 questions for Adobe:

  1. When will you fix this?
  2. When will you go back to beta testing before releasing updates? Releasing buggy software is unacceptable.

Thanks!!

Psst, you realize you're NOT talking to Adobe here, right? This is a user-to-user forum where Adobe staff occasionally peek in.

I knew I'd get your attention. So what's the scoop with this error?

You think I'm an Adobe employee?? I'm not - hint: you'd see "Staff" underneath my name badge. ;>)

As for what's happening in this case, there's a number of troubleshooting steps you can try:

- is it happening with all browsers or just one?

- does it occur if you use one of the sample projects?

- does it make any difference on where the output is located - local LAN drive vs. Web server?

- you mention "customized Azure Blue" screen layout - have you tried it with the "factory" layout or any other layouts?

Let's find the problem first and then have a pop if it is an Adobe issue.

There isn't an Update 3 to RoboHelp 2017. If you click Update in RoboHelp, the only content is for FrameMaker if you have TCS installed.

First check RoboHelp File > Help and confirm it shows 13.0.2.334. Then take a fresh copy of the layout by selecting it again from the Gallery and giving it a slightly different name such as AzureBlue2. Update 2 contained a new version of the layout but you have to import it afresh.

It looks like you are generating to a network drive. Try with the project and the target folder being local.

If that does not help, I notice the issue is with loadprojdata.js. It could be worth trying the files at Tracker (Adobe's bug tracking). The other possible issue is a long path name. Try moving the project nearer to the root of the drive.

Post back after trying those things.

I take it the new copy of the layout is what fixed it? So no bug?

Have you tested the search in IE? If that hangs, then try the files I pointed to. Although the problem is reported as a bug, my understanding is the issue was caused by a browser change after the RoboHelp release.

UPDATE: I talked to RH tech support at length. There's a corruption in the layout I had customized. The gal spent hours on the phone with me today going through the file and trying different things.

To get reproduce this, you go to Output Setup > Right-click - EDIT on the layout. I changed some colors. That's it. Nothing else. Then click SAVE AND PREVIEW.

HOWEVER, this is reproducible regardless of whether or not I change any colors, so I'm thinking it's a bug that Adobe needs to fix. I'm talking with tech support again.... stay tuned...

I think you will find it's a bug only in Preview. Generate the layout and I suspect it will be OK. Try that and post back.

I think this might be the answer.

LOL - OK, you got me there.

- It's happening in both IE11 and FF. We aren't "allowed" to use anything other than IE 11 at work, so

- We don't use Web server

- I tried using the Charcoal layout and got an error there, too.

- I haven't tried sample projects.
