Xml view in jmix studio buggy

Support
#1

Hello, more often than not I have troubles opening my screen descriptors. I only use the XML view and actually don’t care about the preview, but the XML view shows me a blank screen very often. When I switch to preview mode and back to XML view, it shows me the XML. But when I switch to another file and go back, it is blank again. It’s very annoying. See video:

PS: I can’t upload webm, which has about 290kb, but only mov, which has 1,6MB for same content when converted…

Continuing Studio issues w/ screen Designer
#2

Just to add on, there are fairly numerous bugs in the Descriptior designer/editor. Sometimes changes simply revert, or even partially revert, etc. I can’t reproduce at will, but will keep monitoring to find a pattern.

Thank you for the report.

We’ll appreciate if you provide any additional information and maybe some conditions when it happens.

I especially see this bug in extended screen descriptors.

It also looks like they have to have a certain amount of complexity.

Hi, Klaus

Just want to make some clarifications.
Do you have Componen Hierarchy tool window properly activated when you face the issue? I mean is there screen components hierarchy in this tool window. If no, does it appear after switching to preview mode and back to text?
Could you please attach idea.log file when you face the issue again?

Thank you

Hi @gaslov,
I don’t use any of the component tool windows. They are always minimized in my IDE.

I mean is there screen components hierarchy in this tool window. If no, does it appear after switching to preview mode and back to text?

I can test that.

Could you please attach idea.log file when you face the issue again?

Yes.

Thank you for looking into it.

A new video with latest nightly studio plugin: (this is just the bootstrap example flowui project)

And the log:

Hi, Klaus,
In your video, you can see logs from the ‘Console’, which shows the logs of the frontend build. As you can see, you got an error when executing the ‘npm’ command.

Due to the fact that the frontend was not built, the entire vaadin UI could not be built either and the View Designer Preview has nothing to display (Also, the Component Hierarchy and Inspector will not be able to display correctly).

To find a solution to the problem, you need to attach logs from the console and identify what was the error when building the frontend.

Thank you for reporting,
Mikhail

Actually the problem here is that I don’t care about the preview, but it keeps poping up. Sorry that I didn’t clarify that before.

#14

Ok, I got you. This is really wrong and annoying behavior.
