Bug: Event Types dont stick after upgrade to Gramps 6.0

Issue: After upgrading to the latest docker image, whenever I create a new event or edit an existing event, the event type doesnt stick after clicking save.

Things Ive tried

  • Restarting the docker container. No change.

  • Creating different kinds of event types. The specific event type doesnt matter, they all appear as “Birth”.

  • Checking the logs. I see this error whenever I try to change the event type.
    ERROR:root:Error parsing list of recent DBs from file /root/gramps/recent-files-gramps.xml Would deleting this file or the whole docker image help?

  • Running a check and repair database. The log showed FAIL: the person "I0442" refers to a death event which is of type "12" instead of Death

  • I can create sources, citations, media files. So it seems to be limited to event type. All other data in the event works fine.

Any help would be apprieicated.

I guess you are encountering this fixed bug, can you try the latest-devel image?

Thanks David. Changing to latest-devel fixed it. Do you know when that change is expected release on the latest branch? I’d rather not stay on the latest-devel branch.
