windows - WiX - Why do my components show as absent during major upgrade? -


i have wix installer i've inherited has autogenerated product code, fixed upgrade code, autogenerated component guids , force major upgrades. 1 of configuration files modified custom action @ install time , may later modified users. it's not marked neveroverwrite in existing (released) versions of installer.

i expected msi file versioning rules prevent modified file being replaced on upgrade, being replaced anyway. found entry initial installvalidate in install log:

msi (s) (7c:00) [12:18:07:604]: component: conf.xml; installed: absent; request: local; action: local

i assume root of problem because component (which has file keypath) there though it's showing absent.

later on, when removeexistingproducts scheduled component correctly detected old installer:

msi (s) (7c:74) [12:18:09:901]: component: conf.xml; installed: local; request: absent;   action: absent

and removed. create custom action backup file , restore during upgrade seems hack when don't understand why it's not being detected in first place.

the file paths seem correct in both cases , understand component guid should generated same both installs too. there more logging can enable track down or missing obvious?

qa guys complained can't automate frontend testing. because our html looks same outside. lazy hack did this <template> <div :role="$options.name"> ... </div> </template> <script> export default { name: 'vmcomponentname' } </script> which takes name script , applies html. in browser get: <div role="vmcomponentname"> ... </div> line :role="$options.name" goes in every component. is there dry er solutions? please share. additional details i'll explain in details looking for. imagine have vmusercreate form creates user. test case can create user . to automatically test without role, have use following selector: .wrapper > .wrapper > .wrapper > .submit-button the test extremely brittle (will break lot). if use roles can use [role="vmusercreateform"] .submit-button selector. many folds less brittle. so basically, i'm ...
