How do you install the beta release to test?

I’d say make an installation with the develop branch

or go to beta.erpnext.com (seems not to exist any longer)

Yes i tried installing develop but i got v12 instead of v13. requested for help on how to install v13 but no one responded so i gave up.

seems there is a version-13-beta branch. So you’d use that branch I guess.

I figured as much. But for non-developers like me who would want to test to give the everyday user perspectives, there’s really no guide on how to install develop branch. Me thinks that’s why there’s a lot of issues whenever there’s a new version or update release as not all use cases are considered.

Releasing V13 in beta helps in this regard but it should come with install instructions so non-developers can also test and offer divergent user experience perspectives. It will ensure a more stable final release.

there was a comment by @michelle a while ago that multi-currency expense claim was going to be part of version-13. It isn’t mentioned here, so I was wondering whether that still in the works and will actually go into version-13 or whether that effort was cancelled?

I think all tutorials for installation tackle the issue of choosing a certain branch.
That does not help with the problem of installation being not an easy task and often failing since quite a while though. maintaining the beta.erpnext.com instance would be a nice thing to have.

you can also create an instance of V13 on the the https://frappe.cloud platform. That would come with costs though (even though they offer some sort of credits for new account owners I believe.

If docker and docker-compose is installed, use tag v13-beta.

git clone https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker.git

cd frappe_docker

cp env-example .env

sed -i -e "s/edge/v13-beta/g" .env

docker-compose --project-name frappebench00 -f installation/docker-compose-common.yml -f installation/docker-compose-erpnext.yml -f installation/erpnext-publish.yml up -d

sleep 15

docker run -it -e "SITE_NAME=v13beta.localhost" -e "INSTALL_APPS=erpnext" -v frappebench00_sites-vol:/home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites --network frappebench00_default frappe/erpnext-worker:v13-beta new

During login, after switching branch to version-13-beta

Is there a way to contribute to the release notes? I am missing some new features.

Same Issue with me Invalid version string: ‘13.0.0.beta.1’

If you close the error, and refresh the browser, you can access the system. Short term solution.

Check the syntax, command?

Looking at C:\Users\user\frappe_docker>. You’re on windows.

You copy pasted bash script into windows terminal

I don’t have windows machine to copy paste same thing into windows terminal and debug this for you.

If I get access to window machine, I’ll try to solve this.

Edit: I made the commands copy paste friendly. If it doesn’t work on windows try replacing forwardslash (/) with backslash (\) for directory separator. Check how it is in C:\Users\....
