Fragment/Perspective/Placeholder problem [message #1065848] Thu, 27 June 2013 18:49 Go to next message

Hello all. I have three projects in my workspace:
- MainApp (contains Application.e4xmi with a TrimmedWindow [id="MainAppWindow"] and PerspectiveStack [id="MainPerspectiveStack"])
- PartFragment (contributes a Part [id="MySharedPartFromFragment"] to the Shared Elements of MainAppWindow)
- PerspectiveFragment (imports MySharedPartFromFragment and contributes a Perspective [id="SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment"] to the Snippets section of the MainApp with a PlaceHolder that references MySharedPartFromFragment)

In MainApp I have a processor that copies all Perspective Snippets into the MainPerspectiveStack (via modelService.cloneSnippet).

After MainApp starts SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment does exist in the model as a child of MainPerspectiveStack. The problem I'm having is that when I switch to the SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment perspective I see a blank MPart where MySharedPartFromFragment should be.

index.php/fa/15396/0/

Here's the xmi of SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment:
      <children xsi:type="advanced:Perspective" xmi:id="_eQH4lN9WEeKrsvusXvNxVg" elementId="SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment" contributorURI="platform:/plugin/PerspectiveFragment" label="SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment">
        <tags>PerspectiveTemplate</tags>
        <children xsi:type="basic:PartSashContainer" xmi:id="_eQH4ld9WEeKrsvusXvNxVg" elementId="perspectivefragment.partsashcontainer.0" contributorURI="platform:/plugin/PerspectiveFragment">
          <children xsi:type="basic:PartStack" xmi:id="_eQH4lt9WEeKrsvusXvNxVg" elementId="perspectivefragment.partstack.0" contributorURI="platform:/plugin/PerspectiveFragment" containerData="10000" selectedElement="_eQH4l99WEeKrsvusXvNxVg">
            <children xsi:type="advanced:Placeholder" xmi:id="_eQH4l99WEeKrsvusXvNxVg" elementId="perspectivefragment.placeholder.0" contributorURI="platform:/plugin/PerspectiveFragment">
              <ref xsi:type="basic:Part" href="platform:/plugin/PerspectiveFragment/PerspectiveFragment.e4xmi#_7qsI4N9FEeKti89ripk2GQ"/>
            </children>
          </children>
        </children>
      </children>


And what it looks like in the live editor:
index.php/fa/15397/0/

Any help is appreciated. I have attached the three projects.

Probably the issue is connected to the "empty" perspective in the "MainApp/Application.e4xmi/Application/Windows/Trimmed Window/Controls/Perspective Stack" perspective stack. After removing it from model it works for me. I attach the fixed version of the MainApp project

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, Daniel.

I downloaded your modified MainApp, but I still see the blank MPart after setting the SelectedElement of MainPerspectiveStack to SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment:
index.php/fa/15505/0/

I also see an exception in the console when switching to SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment:

This exception seems to be caused by PartServiceImpl.switchPerspective(...) because it is calling ModelServiceImpl.bringToTop(MPart[elementID="MySharedPartFromFragment"]). Since MySharedPartFromFragment's eContainer is a ModelFragmentsImpl we get a null MWindow from the getTopLevelWindowFor(MPart[elementID="MySharedPartFromFragment"]) call from bringToTop(...). I'm guessing this is a bug, but maybe it is by design???

Do you use the latest Kepler release or other version? I'am asking since I have double checked it with Kepler and it works for me. So after removing the empty perspective from the model (see the 'snapshot2.png' attachment) and running the application I get the valid part (see the 'snapshot.png' attachment)

Thanks for the response, Daniel. I am using Kepler Release build id 20130614-0229. I also see the problem in Juno SR2.

Your attached screenshot (snapshot.png) is exactly what I see when I first run the application. I've been seeing that exact screenshot all along- even with a non-empty Perspective stack (as attached in my first post). The issue happens when I run the application, open the live editor, and switch the Selected Element of MainPerspectiveStack to the SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment Perspective.

This screenshot is the initial state (same as yours):
index.php/fa/15557/0/

This screenshot is the bad state after I switch perspectives to SnippetPerspectiveFromFragment:
index.php/fa/15558/0/

Hi Smith,

How about the status of this problem?

I have the same problem and googled your post. My result is the same as yours. It looks like the DI is not working. But no any further clue.

Nope, no solution as of yet. As a workaround I just removed all my Placeholders from the Perspective defined in a Snippet. I still don't understand why it isn't working correctly. If you figure it out please let me know!

It sounds like there is a potential issue with the live model editor. Have you tried these steps with a different application (say the IDE)? (Outcome?)
