I see.
So the getActiveSiteHolder code currently looks like this:
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
osapi.container.GadgetSite.prototype.getActiveSiteHolder = function() {
return this.loadingGadgetHolder_ || this.currentGadgetHolder_;
};
This code is weird because it should be the other way:
return this.currentGadgetHolder_ || this.loadingGadgetHolder_;
because after GadgetSite.onRender() is called and replacing
currentGadgetHolder_ with loadingGadgetHolder_ which makes it active.
So the close() function in gadget_site.js file could look like:
/**
* @inheritDoc
*/
osapi.container.GadgetSite.prototype.close = function() {
osapi.container.Site.prototype.close.call(this); // super.close();
if (this.loadingGadgetEl_ && this.loadingGadgetEl_.firstChild) {
this.loadingGadgetEl_.removeChild(this.loadingGadgetEl_.firstChild);
}
// dispose of our other holder if any
if(loadingGadgetHolder_) {
loadingGadgetHolder_.dispose();
}
};
The odds of GadgetSite.onRender() has not finished executing when
someone call GadgetSite.close() I think is pretty rare. So in most
typical scenarios there will be only one instance of gadget holder
active.
Thoughts?
