javascriptDev [message #879481]

Hi,

I have two projects in the workspace and project2 linkes a handler from project1. This is working fine, but when I changed the handler in project1, the change do not reflect in project2. I have tried to clean, remove the reference to the handler and re-insert the reference. After some digging I found that the handler with the old layout is located in javascriptDev that is hidden from ProjectExplorer. If I remove the handler from this folder I get errors when opening the project.
Is there a way to force regenerate of the content in javascriptDev?
I am currently using 0.8.0.v201204061050

Hi Trond,

To force regeneration of javascriptDev, run a Project > Clean. This folder is hidden because we don't want you deleting it, it's needed by the IDE for the visual editor and debugger (the generated files contain a lot of extra code used by these features that you don't want in your deployed application).

As for your root problem, let's call them handlers "A" and "B", where "B" is using "A". When you changed "A", did you refresh "B"? I think that the visual editor will only automatically update the display when you modify the file being viewed, and if you modify dependent files (like another handler it uses) you will have to click the refresh button.

Thanks for you suggestions Justin. I tried, but unfortunatly it did not work. However, I renamed "A" and then it was shown correctly in "B". Then I renamed "A" back to the originally name and old version was back (in "B"), but when I again renamed "A" and changed it, the change was reflected also in "B". Conclusion is, I think, that now it workes as it should. Something has "locked up" with original "A", but as it workes as it should with renamed "A", problem is solved Smile
