Web AppBuilder custom widget error. Version 1.3

[AndrewL]

I am going through the custom widget tutorial here: Create a custom in-panel widget—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developer...

On Step 8, when I click the icon, I get the following error:

create widget error: widgets/samplewidgets/MyWidget/Widget

In DevTools I see:

Unexpected identifier

WidgetManager.js:108 create [widgets/samplewidgets/MyWidget/Widget] error:TypeError: clazz is not a constructor

Any ideas? I am using version 1.3 of web appbuilder. Thank you.

Andrew,

I would have to see your code but it seems like you are missing a comma in your syntax. Probably in the requires or functions.

Thanks Robert,

I copied and pasted the code, so I'm not sure. Here is the code in my Widget.js file.

define(['dojo/_base/declare', 'jimu/BaseWidget'],

  function(declare, BaseWidget) {

    //To create a widget, you need to derive from BaseWidget.

    return declare([BaseWidget], {

      // Custom widget code goes here

      baseClass: 'jimu-widget-mywidget'

  startup: function() {

  this.inherited(arguments);

  this.mapIdNode.innerHTML = 'map id is:' + this.map.id;

  },

      //methods to communication between widgets:

    });

  });

Andrew,

OK,  you have to put a comma after baseClass: 'jimu-widget-mywidget'. If you add a function like you did startup then the code block needs to know that something is suppose to follow baseClass: 'jimu-widget-mywidget' and that is what the comma denotes (sort of).

Actually I found in one of your posts that you said a comma after the baseClass line is needed if the startup line is uncommented. I added this and it works now. Thanks!
