Edit a blank invoice line in QuickBooks SDK - quickbooks

I am writing a small utility to modify invoice line items in QuickBooks using the SDK. Everything is working well until I hit a blank line in the invoice or a line that only has a description used for spacing/separating line items. It will continue to process the request, but it will not recreate the line in the invoice, it's as if it's deleting the line. There is nothing in the documentation that I see outside of the documented required fields that would cause this behavior.
I am using the IORInvoiceLineMod interface implementation. It seems that only this special case is causing the problems.

Okay, so I figured it out. I read the manual (Programmer's Guide) that comes with the SDK, Chapter 7 on modifying line items in lists in QuickBooks. When editing a line that you don't want to modify (i.e. blank line), only specify the TxnLineId and nothing else. The SDK will copy over whatever was there before, including blank elements.
In my case, I was looking for nulls and then skipping the item outright, which the QuickBooks SDK interprets as "please delete this line item." Once I fixed the logic in my code, the blank line items remained. RTFM wins again!

when removing element from form array with react-final-form, the displayed value of the <input> does not update, but final-form data object does

This is a bizarre situation. I have simplified an example of react-final-form-array that allows me to add elements to my form, and i can extend an array of objects. It is very similar to the simple example provided by react-final-form-arrays. The array works just fine, but the issue im having is that when i try to REMOVE a specific element, the actual value displayed in the inputs doesnt change. So for example, with images:
Here we can see i can add customers to a list, which makes an array of objects. This works great. Now, let's say i want to get rid of the first element. i click the X, and what happens?
Here we can see that the form data properly removed the first element i wanted to remove, however, the actual value DISPLAYED on the inputs is still John Doe, though the form knows it's Mary Jane. When i click on the inputs, they seem to update to the correct values. But this is not what should be happening.
The STRANGEST thing though, is that i made a codesandbox you can see here https://codesandbox.io/s/agitated-wilson-5xlqq
It has the exact same code I have on my app, and it works as expected! So i cant even recreate the bug and i made sure the dependencies are the same versions im working with. I can only recreate it in my own setup, and i dont understand why that is.
I tried with chrome, safari and firefox and they all seem to be doing the same thing on my computer and i even tried on my phone by connecting to my react server that runs on my laptop, and they all show the same behavior.
I dont know what i could be, versions, react, if anyone has any idea or has had a similar issue in the past, PLEASE HELP. I won't paste my code here so as not to bloat this post, but you can see it's literally the exact same code in the sandbox i linked above.
EDIT: I want to point out another bug that occurs, and thats once i remove the first element, if i try to edit it, it pushes another field into the array with the input i just added, as if it were bound or something. I wish i could recreate it on codesandbox
Try deleting your node_modules folder and reinstalling them. Are you seeing any errors in your console log?

Why is my Dataflow pipeline not showing steps?

When I run the examples I get a pretty picture showing the flow and I can monitor as it executes. With my application it doesn't show the diagram and if I click on "Step" it displays nothing.
Adding screenshot of Job log. No warnings or errors. BTW, I assumed the icon on the log entry with an "i" stands for Info level, but when I change the level from BASIC to ALL many more entries are added and they all have the same icon. That is confusing. Icons should be more clear and should have hover tips, IMO.
I'm on the Dataflow team. I'm sorry that you are encountering this issue.
I believe this is occurring because of the custom step names you're code is using.
From your screenshot of the job logs, it appears that some of these steps have been given names that represent a GCS storage path location.
I noticed this from this message in the logs:
Executing operation "gs://datalake/landing/...."
This fails to render in the monitoring UI and likely hits an assertion because slashes are disallowed characters.
In order to work around this issue would you please try removing the custom step names used in your code. Which seems to be set to gs:// style paths. You could also try specifying names for each step, without using special characters.
Please try running the job again after that change and see if the graph renders properly in the dataflow UI.
I have created a github issue to track this bug and prevent these slash characters from sent in the future in the dataflow SDK code.
Please let me know if you encounter any more issues.

Expand Regular Expression snippet to allow longer TLDs

I am working with an open source application from Foradian and while trying to add administrative users, I get an error stating that the e-mail address is invalid. I have gone through the source code and found a regex snippet that performs this check, or so I think.
/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#([A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,4}$/i
How can I make the application accept the newer and longer TLDs such as .university, .museum, and others by altering the snippet above?
You can just remove the 4 from last check and it will just check if the ending domain have at least 2 characters.
/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#([A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,}$/i
Here is working example.
I found this solution not long after posting the question:
^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.(?:[A-Z]{2}|com|org|net|edu|gov|mil|biz|info|mobi|name|aero|asia|jobs|museum|university)$
The above allows me specify which TLDs are accepted.
For now, I've opted for the accepted solution marked above as that saves me the trouble of editing the source when newer TLDs are added.

ColdFusion Builder 2 Client Error - Memory Leak/Loop on Edit

I've not found any other resources on this issue, so I figured I would ask the SO community. :)
I currently have an issue with my CFB2 client going into a memory leak about three seconds after I edit a particular file on one of our company webservers. This also occurs when I try and edit a local copy of the file. The leak is slow and would take many many hours to hold up all of my free RAM (~6.5GB/8GB physical). There is also a high CPU usage on the leak (anywhere from 25-45% | 1.8 GHz four-core). The only visual feedback I receive is in the Outline pane, where it extends infinitely into a loop of cfelseif tags. The pane also holds the loop before editing, but does not attempt to extend it.
This error first occurred whilst I was creating a cffile tag and because I could not close it, the conditional statements were mis-highlighted. I believe this is the root cause of the issue, however, I do not know why this occurred.
As I complete typing of this, I will move the file to a simple editor, remove the line that caused the error, and attempt to add it again, however I fear that the addition of the line will end in the same manner.
EDIT: I moved the page source into Notepad and removed the pesky cffile line. Then, I proceeded to delete the file from the webserver, create a new file of the same name, and add the code back. I closed the tag before adding any attributes just to ensure the same issue would not occur, and it did not experience the same loop.

in orchard why does manually adding entries to the database not work?

I am using the Advanced Menu for Orchard, I have alot of duplicated content to add to multiple menus so was trying to do this directly into the database.
The problem I had was when I add items to the database the items don't show up and the CMS breaks and doesn't allow items to be added (this causes a duplicate primary key error).
Can anyone tell me why this is, and what I would need to do if I wanted to add entries manually?
Not knowing how you've tried to add them, it's hard to say. Maybe you've created part records without content item records, making them orphans? But again, I'm just guessing, as I have no idea what you tried to do.
For manual entries you might be better off using the command line utility. see http://www.orchardproject.net/docs/Using-the-command-line-interface.ashx
Or the import/export functionality (which I think just runs the command line stuff)
If yo want to know more follow piotr's blog. It's full of great stuff!
