Module without forms won't open anymore in Developer

Classic Servoy
1

It seems that a module without any forms in it can’t be opened anymore in Developer.
I get the spinning Servoy O and does nothing else.
It doesn’t lock up or anything, it just spins.

My (HTML Tree) module only consists out of methods and images.
There is no need for a form since it doesn’t use any. Also a form would hard-link the module to a data provider. Again it doesn’t need one (hard-linked that is).

My guess is that Servoy always expect a form but now we have modules there can be cases where there is no form.
I consider this a bug.

Robert - the solution should be opened - it doesn’t have to have a form. If you can get to the “Editor” then it’s open.

The spinny logo is just an animated gif and DOES NOT go away if your solution has no form.

Hi Bob,

Well on the PC I am testing 2.2b3 on I can’t access any function other than creating a new form, opening the valuelist dialog and relations dialog.
The dataproviders button is enabled but doesn’t do anything.
All the form element buttons are also enabled.

Anyway..the function that counts (i.e. the Editor) is dimmed (buttons and menu).

Version R2 2.2b3-build 318
Java version 1.5.0-b64 (Windows XP)

Same behavior here on 2.2RC1:

Servoy Developer
Version R2 2.2rc1-build 319
Java version 1.4.2_04-b05 (Windows XP)

Doesn’t seem to be module related.
Try creating a solution without any form. close and open again.
You’ll have the same behaviour.
Current workaround. >> create a dummy form.

Will check with dev team if this is expected behaviour.

Will be corrected in Servoy 2.2 rc2
