Is there a problem with WAB 2.5 and LocalLayer 2.5? I cant seem to get the LocalLayer widget to show up.

[LesHampton]

I have been using the Local Layer Widget for a long time. I am upgrading to WAB 2.5 and followed the directions for the 2.5 LocalLayer widget but it will not show up in any App I try to configure. I haven't had any problems in the past versions and cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

I added a note about avoiding the subfolder in the help docs.  That was a good point.

Hello Robert. 

I have an existing app and I am trying to use this widget. 

Rebecca Strauch stated that the file structure shown below works for her.

so my question is :

How the app will access the widget.js under locallayer/2d/locallayer/ 

with this entry in app's config.json:    "uri": "widgets/LocalLayer/Widget" ?

Thanks.

Lefteris,

   I don't know about that structure working. I would copy the LocalLayer folder from the 2D folder and paste that in your widgets directory.

Thank you. That's what I thought.

I would follow what Robert says.  As mentioned, it's been a while since I messed with it.  I need to update my other page to reflect the new instructions.  I think the confusion came when they added 3D.

Although it is hard to see in the graphic, it looks like you have the lines added in the incorrect place....that is, getting the { } unbalanced.  "edit: Actually, looking again, that might not be the case, but you might want to try the below anyway.

I put the added lines at the top, right after the   ...  "widgets": [

I think you have yours pasted in the brackets right under the version line.

I'll attached a copy of my the <WAB>\client\stemapp\predefined-apps\default\config.json mine. They should be generic, but I would rename/move yours, put mine in it's place (rename the .txt back to .json) and make sure the NodeJS and WAB are totally closed. 

A reboot would not hurt.  For some reason, fixing or trying to add the LocalLayer even to a 2.5 app I created earlier did not work....for a few hours.  a bit puzzling but my guess is NodeJS was not fully shut down.

Also in my doc, I had written that sometimes you need to edit the app, save, shutdown/reboot and try it again...if it doesn't work with the first shutdown/reboot.

edit2: ...oops, see you just got it working.
