SUGARCRM: Custom Theme

The following error is either thrown when installing a new Sugar instance or when clearing the cache:

Exception in Controller: exception 'SugarApiExceptionError' with message 'lessc fatal error:<br />load error: failed to find tmp_less_custom_compiler.less'

This means that your custom.less file has a syntax error. Fix any syntax errors and try again.

If your custom.less file is empty, just delete the file, clear the cache, and load the Page again.

mySQL - Time Out Error

The following error is thrown when importing a large database:

mysql server has gone away

If you are an admin or have sufficient privileges, update the my.cnf or mysql.cnf file by adding the following command:

[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=500M

JAVASCRIPT: Date Current Year

In JavaScript, we can get the current year as follows:
var myDate = new Date('2017-02-12');
console.log(myDate.getFullYear());
Expected Output: 2017
Actual Output: 2017

But, what happens if we test a boundary value with the above function:
var myDate = new Date('2017-01-01');
console.log(myDate.getFullYear());
Expected Output: 2017
Actual Output: 2016

In this case, we need to call getUTCFullYear()
var myDate = new Date('2017-01-01');
console.log(myDate.getUTCFullYear());
Expected Output: 2017
Actual Output: 2017
