Hello,
After upgrading Wappler from version 7.9.0 to 7.9.2, I’m seeing almost 100 file updates. Has Wappler v7.9.2 been released with so many updates? I’d like to double-check before accepting these file updates.
Also, 60 of the updates shown below have been applied automatically outside the project updater. These are all related to dmxAppConnect. There are actually more dmxAppconnect file updates than what’s shown in the screenshot.
I'd be a little suspicious. I update everything every release and haven't had any file updates at all in the last few releases.
That's why I would like to double-check before accepting.
All of these dmxAppConnect updates are js.map files. I'm wondering if these were all missing previously in the Wappler core application.
I agree with @brad that I’ve had only a few file updates with each Wappler release. The .map files have been included in the package since at least version 5.
I have to say, Gremlins are pretty nasty creatures.
A couple of observations:
maps folder under public/dmxAppConnect. The js.maps files have always been included in the same folder as the main js files.So, it seems the v7.9.2 update has been released by moving the map files in a new folder instead of keeping them with the original js files.
Could I please get some information on the files that are expected to be updated in the latest v7.9.2?
Every time I open a project, js.map files are getting added in a separate new folder maps under dmxAppConnect.
Any idea about this issue? Is it an issue just with Mac update?
It might be an old map files left over in the Wappler installation, we don’t have a single map files folder for more than a year. Map files are now delivered next to the js files in the same folders.
So you can just delete the separate maps folder - it is no longer used.
Hi George,
The maps folder keeps reappearing with all the js.map files when the project is opened or layout pages are saved.
That is because it is probably in your user configuration folder. You can clean it there are do a full clean Wappler installation from scratch.
Could you please give me the folder path for the user configuration folder so that I can check?
I can see existing Map files are correctly saved next to the js files in the same folders. The new folder has started to appear only after upgrading to v7.9.2 from v7.9.0.
You can find the configuration folder and also the install from scratch instructions at:
Thanks George.
Unfortunately, a clean re-install (deleted the user folder except configuration sub-folder) hasn't resolved the issue. The maps sub-folder has re-appeared under dmxAppConnect after I opened a project.
I have noticed that the maps sub-folder doesn't get added when a project is opened, it is re-created after a layout page is opened or saved.
Are you on old App Connect v1 or so?
Did you deleted the configuration folder as instructed by the clean install?
I have been regularly updating the projects. The appConnect v2 would have been installed when v7.x.x was released. I'm running v2.2.5 released on 03/03/2026.
/*! App Connect Version: 2.2.5 (c) 2026 Wappler.io @build 2026-03-03 10:23:25 */
I didn't delete the configuration folder, as the Clean reinstall instructions has this note. I want to keep the current configuration settings.
Note : if you want to keep you previous projects configuration just leave the 'Configuration ' sub folder it in and delete the rest only.
Where is the setting for the js.map files in the configuration folder?
As I mentioned in my previous post, the maps sub folder is re-created when layout pages are opened. It's not recreated when a project is opened. So, the opening or saving of the layout page must be checking the js files included in the project and creating this sub folder outside the actual dmx sub folders.
Actually, I can confirm this is happening. Newest project. Always kept up to date. It does add the maps folder.
Here is a video. I renamed the original maps folder instead of deleting it as I am unsure of the consequences.
Notice on opening a layout page the new maps folder gets created. I can recreate this 100% of the time.
This is exactly what I have noticed.
The new maps sub-folder can be deleted. The js.map files should have already been present under each dmx sub-folder.
Noticed too, it's something new
This might provide further details to the Wappler Team to identify and fix the issue.
On macOS, there is a maps folder under this path. After I removed the maps folder, the sub-folder for maps no longer gets recreated when I open or save layout pages.
It looks like the folder was introduced in very early versions of Wappler and is now being recreated as an include in the projects.
~/Library/Application Support/Wappler/Configuration/Shared/DMXzone/dmxAppConnect/Includes/maps
Yes you can delete it indeed
