@Fedik

I am getting this error message when I try to Apply Patch:

The file marked for modification does not exist: plugins/sampledata/testing/src/Extension/Testing.php

Am I doing something wrong? (sampledata it NOT yet installed)

[Fedik]

It maybe you use patch tester on regular Joomla installation?
The thing is, that sampledata/testing exist only in DEV installation from the git.

You are correct - a standard Joomla test site of 5.1.2 that I spun up for testing.
I didn't see anything in the instructions that said Dev installation or git requirement or equivalent so I did as usual, sorry ;(

@exlemor I would say, if other sampledata works then we can count it as success 😉
the testing sampledata DEVs will test after merging 😄

I apologize for not understanding the above message - but just to clarify, I have a standard Joomla 5.1.2 installation, I have Joomla Patch Tester installed and when I try to Apply Patch I get that error message - so I can't try to install the Blog Sample Data or the Multilingual Sample Data since I get that error in red and the patch doesn't apply.

(sorry for being confused)
(see attached screenshot if that helps)

@Fedik you cant use patchtester for this PR with a released version of Joomla. As the testing sampledata is only in the dev git clone patchtester fails to apply this pr so @exlemor cannot test even the regular testing plugins.

Thanks for the explanation @brianteeman.

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on f382f4b

Now that I am on a Joomla 5.2.0 beta2 dev environment I was able to test it and it seems successful indeed.

I did find a small bug: if you click on install Testing Sample Data, it installs, you go somewhere else in Joomla and come back to try to install it again, it fails with a logical error: Step 1 Failed: Another Tag has the same alias (remember it may be a trashed item). BUT this makes Blog Sample Data or Multilingual Sample Data's install button not work - you have to reload the entire page for those Install buttons to refection.

@exlemor how do you get sample data testing.zip? I'm also on Joomla 5.2.0 beta2 dev (nightly builds) but find only blog and multilang-plugins of sampla data in the backend.

Hi fgsw, unless I misunderstood your question, that Testing Sample Data is already installed in one of the Joomla! 5 Server list - sponsored by Wicked Software which we used yesterday during PBF (I also used my own server 5.2 beta 1 for some PR tests but that installation did not have the file)

[brianteeman]

The testing sample data plugin is removed from all releases - including beta. It is only present if you install from a github clone

No Prebuilt package is available for download.

Is it enough to test multilang- and blog sample data (no sample data plugin beside install from a github clone)?

[Fedik]

No Prebuilt package is available for download.

I updated the branch, the prebuilt package should be available again in few sec/min.

Is it enough to test multilang- and blog sample data

Yes
