Problem
- During the exporting process, Tracer will encounter an error when finalizing the creation of the SQLite database file (*.db) containing the data.
- An error is presented indicating that an unknown error has occurred with an indication of a failure at “SaveFileAsync()“
- No database is created as a result.
Solution(s)
- This issue seems to affect a small subset of users but has been – so far – not producible in our testing and development environments.
- POSSIBILITY 1: The error indicates problems saving the SQLite database file which may stem from security policies present that restrict SQL operations. This may come in the form of:
- Preventive measures guarding against SQL injection.
- Restrictions in saving files and temporary in a certain location.
- POSSIBILITY 2: Some or all Installed files are being ‘blocked’ by Windows. This seems to be the most likely issue in cases where Tracer was installed using an offline installer method.
- We recommend asking your IT administration professional to run the following Powershell command, which will unblock all of the files in the Proving Ground directory.
get-childitem -Recurse “$env:AppData\Proving Ground” | unblock-file
