Hi, I just tried latest trunk (without Daniels upcoming automatic recompile on page reload patch) and the following describes our current setup and the issues we have with DevMode -superDevMode.
*TL;DR:* *- public resources are not copied to war output directory. Only app.nocache.js will be generated. We need public resources.* *- the generated app.nocache.js of DevMode -superDevMode does not set all binding properties so SDM fails because more than 1 permutation has been detected. In our case GWT "locale" and one of our properties is not defined with a default value.* We use GWTs "public" folder feature quite a bit and rely on the fact that DevMode copies the content of all public folders to the war output directory as soon as DevMode has started (without ever accessing the app through the browser). With current state of DevMode -superDevMode it seems like that only an app.nocache.js file will be copied to the war output directory and no other public resources at all. That won't work for us because in our public folders we have an index.tpl file that will be used by a servlet to generate the GWT host page. There are also other files in our public folders that should be deployed on server like icon fonts and other stuff that is not managed by GWT ClientBundle resources. I also noticed that the CodeServer now provides some public resources but it seems like it only provides files but not directories, for example public/robots.txt has been copied but public/fonts/* is missing. Not sure if that is intended behavior, maybe there is a bug in the resource copying code. Now if I workaround the above issue by copying our public resources manually to the war output directory we still can't launch our app because the Recompiler (automatically started by the generated app.nocache.js file) detects multiple permutations and thus fails. The reason is that the generated app.nocache.js only defines the user.agent property and nothing more. Are we now required to change GWT module xml files to set default property values? So for us the only way to use SDM without issues is to not use DevMode -superDevMode and do it the ordinary "compile once, then deploy, then use bookmarklets" way. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
