custom widget shows up in widget list multiple times

JamesEyre — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:36:25 GMT

I have been developing a custom widget, and now I have the widget listed multiple times in the list of widgets in the "Choose Widget" dialog when building a web app. I have tried restarting node.exe, but it does not seem to help. Is there a way to clear/reset the widget list?

Well, I did find a way to do this. It is not very elegant, but it works. I just deleted the arcgis-web-appbuilder-1.0beta2\server\db\repoitems file, and restarted the node.exe.

I noticed that in the repoitems file there were multiple json entries for my widget.

The entries were all the same except for the id section:

	"_id": {
		"$wrap": "$oid",
		"v": 39
	}

Is there a more elegant way to reset the widget list?

James,

I have not run into this issue as of yet. Is there something that you did that caused the issue that you know of?
