Issues deploying in DEV

SamDrummond2 — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 02:07:02 GMT

I'm having issues deploying my custom widget into the stemapp\widgets folder.

I can work with my custom widget when I use a custom config file (http://[your host]/webapp/?config=sample-configs/config-demo.json) but when I add the same widget folder into [stemapp\widgets] and open the Web AppBuilder it does not appear in the list of widgets when I go to add it to an app? I have started and stopped the startup.bat file which is running node.js as per step 10 in Create a custom in-panel widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

This seem's to work with the demo app and my custom widget is basically no different. I've changed the widget name and a few items in the widget.js and widget.html files.

Has anyone else had these issues?

Sam,

There could be several reasons it would not show up, can you post your manifest.json for the widget?

Hey Sam,

in the stemapp/widget folder is a .repoignore file. Maybe that could be your issue?

Thanks for replying, here is the contents of the manifest.json file - I have litereally only changed the name, author and description settings from the demo widget. The widget is in a folder called AirQuality:

{

"name": "AirQuality",

"2D":"true",

"3D":"false",

"platform": "HTML",

"version": "1.1",

"wabVersion": "1.1",

"author": "Sam Drummond",

"description": "Air Quality Widget for example purposes",

"copyright": "",

"license": "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0",

"properties": {

"inPanel":true,

"hasLocale": true,

"hasStyle":true,

"hasConfig":true,

"hasUIFile":true,

"hasSettingPage":true,

"hasSettingUIFile":true,

"hasSettingLocale":true,

"hasSettingStyle":true,

"IsController":false

}

Sam,

There is a known issue with the manifest that they have you use when following the instructions. The fix is simple just remove the double quotes from the 2D and 3D properties.
