I'm trying to fix a bug ( https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8100 ), and I could use some expert advice. I'm a long time GWT user (7 years), but only recently started hacking the internals, and I need help on this one.
Background: SelectionScriptLinker.splitPrimaryJavaScript attempts to check whether the property "compiler.useSourceMaps" is "true" and if it is, the method avoids splitting the javascript into chunks (which would destroy the accuracy of the line numbers in the source map). The Problem: This method tries to get the property value from LinkerContext.getProperties, which is not a PropertyOracle, and hence it can't return the correct property value for the current permutation. In fact, it will return a null value unless the property has a static value for all permutations (e.g. <set-property name="compiler.useSourceMaps" value="true"/>) However, something like <set-property name="compiler.useSourceMaps" value="true"> <when-property-is name="user.agent" value="safari"/> </set-property> will not work because SelectionScriptLinker.splitPrimaryJavaScript can only read static property values. Could someone advise me on how to fix this bug? Here's is there relevant source code for quick reference: public static String splitPrimaryJavaScript(StatementRanges ranges, String js, int charsPerChunk, String scriptChunkSeparator, LinkerContext context) { boolean useSourceMaps = false; for (SelectionProperty prop : context.getProperties()) { if (USE_SOURCE_MAPS_PROPERTY.equals(prop.getName())) { String str = prop.tryGetValue(); useSourceMaps = str == null ? false : Boolean.parseBoolean(str); break; } } // TODO(cromwellian) enable chunking with sourcemaps if (charsPerChunk < 0 || ranges == null || useSourceMaps) { return js; } ... -- -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit Contributors" group.
