How can I change the name of a widget?

BarryBiediger

I copied the Search widget into another directory named SearchTest to add some custom functionality. In this new widget, I changed the name in both manifest.json as well as in Widget.js, but when I go to add it in "Choose Widget" it still shows up as "Search" (now there are two "Search" widgets listed.) All my changes are working when I add the new widget to the map, I just can't figure out how to make it show up as "SearchTest."

Barry,

In the repoitems file you will find i18nLabels object there you will likely find that your default label for your version of search is still named search. I think this might be becasue in the serch widget nls folder there is a _widgetLabel named "Search" try changing that and deleting the repoitems again.

Barry,

Did you make those changes to the manifest.json and Widget.js in the stemApp folder or your specific apps folder or both?

Robert,

I made the changes to the widget in the stemapp folder so it will show up as the correct name when I go to add a widget to an app.

Barry,

I had to restart WAB (close out all the way, closing the cmd window as well, and restart) then I could see the change. I also added a label property to my manifest.json with "Search Test".

BarryBiediger

Very strange. I've restarted many times with no changes. I added the "label" property as well - nothing. I'm not finding where the manifest.json properties are fully documented. How did you know about "label," for example?

Other changes I make do show up, so I know I'm not mistakenly changing it in the wrong directory.
