It looks like the segment history can not be opened now. Names and dates are available, but you can’t see what was done by user on that date.

Thank you for reporting this. We flagged it to our development team and we will update you shortly.

Best,
Maia

It should be working now, please let us know if you still experience any issues.

Thank you,
Maia

Yup, all fine now :smiley:

Toggle roads (Shift+R) from time to time won’t show the roads anymore. This is happening since WME’s previous version. Can’t reproduce it every time, but I know it happens after editing a while. ¿Anyone else seeing this behaviour?

This is usually an issue with the roads layer not loading, rather than an issue with selecting the layer.
Most commonly associated with http 500 errors.

Yes, I can still select any roads. These http 500 errors are also happening with the tiles not being loaded.

I’m experiencing a significant number of newly created RPPs disappearing upon saving. Like at least 30% of the time. Anyone else?

Maybe it is closer to 40%+.

Last three times I made two RPPs in one edit, one disappeared from each set (50%).

Just now added five down a long private road, and two disappeared on saving (40%). When trying to re-add those two, one of them vanished a second time. Stayed on the third attempt.

I just hope they aren’t all going to resurface later and then we might have multiple RPPs in one spot… but I can’t tell if that will happen and I’m not going to keep bookmarking all of these to check back later, there are way too many cases of this today. Better to have two or three than none. Even if there are eventually multiples, one of them will… ahem (BUG-8300) coughshould work.

EDIT: Added another four. Two vanished. One of the two re-vanished on second attempt and stayed on the third… if there’s anything anyone thinks I should do to test for causes, let me know, otherwise I’ll stop posting about it, but with the repetitive vanishings I’m feeling a lot better about calling it 50%.

Try repeatedly hitting the refresh button in the WME toolbar to see if the disappearing places reappear. Warning - it may take 20-30 attempts and you will get habituated to the clicking, such that it will appear and you’ll hit refresh again before you can stop yourself!

If the places re-appear, then it may be a reappearance of this bug reported in the Beta bugs forum.

Added four. Two vanished. 50% fail rate.

Refreshed 50 times. No joy.

Re-added the two. One vanished. 50% fail rate.

Refreshed 50 times again. No joy.

The one that failed twice… the first of that particular one thus failed to reappear after 100 refreshes, and its replacement failed after the second 50.

Not feeling like refreshes are the fix this time. :sunglasses:

On the flip side of all of this, I am having a much higher than normal rate of save fails on RPPs as well where instead of vanishing, I can’t even get them on the map at all. Usually I bookmark those and return after a couple of TUs have gone through to try again. But today, given enough cooldown time, I am finding that I can usually get the save error RPPs to stick later.

Shenanigans are apparently afoot.

Maybe Ima gonna stop for today. Just ran across a townhome development with 14 units accessed via shared parking lot roads with a single point of access off the named road, but each unit has its own house number. Seven of them, fully half, disappeared, another straight up 50% fail rate. 50 more refreshes and no joy.

Re-added the lost seven, three didn’t stick. It tried real hard to get to 50% but the maths wouldn’t cooperate with 7 being a prime number and all. Re-re-added the three, two didn’t stick. Re-re-re-added the two, and now both of those two are throwing save errors and can’t be saved.

I remember when this was going on before, that clicking refresh would cause them to blink in and out of existence. I even posted a YouTube video demonstrating it at the time because I didn’t think anyone would believe me. But through all of these refreshes, there’s no blinking in and out. The good ones stayed, the vanished ones remain missing.

This is a lot of wasted effort… :confused:

Maybe, have a PL to the location? They may not be getting displayed, but we can check the data to see if they are retained and it’s just WME laughing at you as it gets wasted while staff are on vacation.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for reporting this.

Could you please add some permalinks of the places disappearing so we can open an internal issue?
Before and after screenshots would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Maia

It would be nice feature to be able to add/edit/delete Real Time Closures from the “Current live map” view. Currently it’s a bit tricky to e.g. remove a segment that has a RTC because the closure will disappear immediately but segment stays on the map as a routable segment till the next tile update. RTC’s operate on the Live Map data after all, so editing them in the “Current live map” view should be possible as well.

In fact, the whole RTC tool should be available in the “Current live map” view only to better reflect what it actually does and what version of the map it operates on.

This is the location of the 14.

Refresh this morning after a weekend cooldown period, and the missing/repeated ones have not resurfaced. I sort of expected maybe the ones I had to redo would all show up stacked on each other, but that did not happen, and the two that wouldn’t stick after all those attempts are still missing, and I will leave it that way for now with the MC highlighting them.

I’m not really sure how screenshots will help. I go to add RPPs, some didn’t stay. There isn’t much to look at.

If it starts happening again today I will post more PLs.

Didn’t take long before I got to a townhome complex with 24 individual addresses accessed from a single entry point. I was able to successfully add all of the RPPs, in three batches of 8, with no problems.

Looks like the segment history is not fully available, again.
