Web AppBuilder (for Developer) failure

BrianCotterall1 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 05:35:28 GMT

I am using Web AppBuilder for Developer 2.7 and just set it up on my local machine. I am not able to click on the "OK" button for any of the widgets.

Steps to reproduce:

Create new web app
Click on Widget tab
Add Widget
Select Widget
Click OK - Error

Below is chrome console output.

FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:174 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'en-us' of undefined
at Object.<anonymous> (FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:174)
at Object.forEach (init.js:70)
at Object.registerWidgetFeatureActions (FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:162)
at Object.<anonymous> (FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:207)
at init.js:63
at visitBigSection (utils.js?wab_dv=2.7:120)
at Object.visitElement (utils.js?wab_dv=2.7:84)
at Object.c.visitElement (ConfigManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:188)
at Object._reRegisterWidgetActions (FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:204)
at Object._onAppConfigChanged (FeatureActionManager.js?wab_dv=2.7:252)

Seems to be something to do with this line:

label: widgetJson.manifest['i18nLabels_featureAction_' + action.name][window.dojoConfig.locale] ||
widgetJson.manifest['i18nLabels_featureAction_' + action.name].defaultLabel

Have I forgotten to configure something? This is my first time testing this app locally? I need to develop custom widgets..

Brian,

It probably has something to do with the Demo Widget I see in your widgets list. Can you delete the demo widget from your stemApp widgets folder and test again.

Thanks. that was it.. Is there something I need to do to get the demo to work? I'm new to Web AppBuilder for developer!!

Did you make any changes to the Demo widgets files?

I use the demo widget without any changes. I simply copied the demo widget to the $\arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.7\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\client\stemapp\widgets\samplewidgets\Demo folder to $\arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.7\WebAppBuilderForArcGIS\client\stemapp\widgets. This added the widget to the Web AppBuilder UI. The widget was able to be selected but could not be saved as part of the app config.

Brian,

Strange, let me test this and get back to you.

Brain,

OK, This is odd... I just duplicated your steps and had not issue at all. I wonder if you just have a corrupt download of WAB?

Hi Robert,

I'm experiencing the exact same problem as initially in this thread. I have used the profile tool with success in the past, but now I get the exact same problem while clicking OK in the widget config.

I have testet it on three different computers and get the same problem each time. I have a clean install of the WAB and the only widget I add is the ElevationProfile widget. I have testet both Chrome and Firefox.

If I cancel to add the Elevation Profile widget and try to add other default widgets, I get the same problem until I refresh the site.

I run WAB 2.12.

Any hints of where the problem might be will be highly appreciated. I like the widget a lot.

Regards,

Robert

Robert,

I have spent a great deal of time on this issue and I have gotten no where. I am sorry to have to say I am stumped on this one.

Here is how I fixed this problem with the Demo widget. From the Demo widget manifest.json, remove the following lines.

"featureActions": [{

"name": "ShowVertex",

"uri": "ShowVertexFeatureAction"

}]

This feature action is broken or incomplete, but in any event notice that the error starts in FeatureActionManager and this ShowVertex thing is the culprit.

Hi,

I came across this myself and what I found is that it seems the problem occurs when two different widgets use the same path to a feature action.

So if I have two widgets and both have a feature action name located in a folder with the same name.

So we have:

widget1/featureActions/myAction

widget2/featureActions/myAction

The failure occurs with the second widget.

If I do a rename so have..

widget1/featureActions/myAction

widget2/actions/myAction

everything works fine.
