I am sorry to report that

252578 Calculations are dropped during import via developer

is not fixed for my import test.
In fact it seems to have gotten worse:
Out of 56 tables now 9 have their calculations missing entirely (in rc4 it was 4).

This requires a review of the procedures to "test" this issue.
Is my 3.5.10 app causing such an error?

Hmm...not sure if it's related but I have one solution that consistently looses the same calculation when I push that to a server. Both are 3.5.10 installs and I checked the .servoy file to make sure the offending calc is indeed there (it is).

I will make a case for it and attach the solution.

Hi Thomas,

do you have the same problem if you import on the admin page ? or only when importing from developer ?

[Thomas Parry]

Before I could import via the Admin pages I had to set the start repository as Team Provider to false.
The import via admin pages had no errors.

Going back the developer I then examined each table calculations and all the missing calcs were now there.
So yes this is limited to the developer import skipping an index or encountering an exception and failing to report it...

I now have to go back and re-enable the start repository as Team Provider.

[Thomas Parry]

After some experimenting it appears that the calcs that are missing are actually just hiding!
By exiting the developer immediately after importing the solution and then restarting the developer all the calcs come back into visibility.

So I assume the FIX is to the procedure for importing: documentation to be added to advise user to restart!

i try to use anchoring in the webclient.
I put a title label on a form header using right and left anchoring, this label will have the full width of the form .

When i code elements['mytitlelabel'].getWidth()
The returned value is the width i have in designer mode but not the anchored resized width, is it a normal behaviour?

Thanks

Is it correct that a couple of things in the word completion is missing in Servoy 5? For instance 'SM_DISPLAYTYPE', controller.getServerName(), controller.getTableName().

[ROCLASI]

Hi,

controller.getServerName() and controller.getTableName() are deprecated (but still work) in Servoy 5 so they don't show up. You can get these values via the controller.getDataSource() and pass that object in databaseManager.getDataSourceServerName() or databaseManager.getDataSourceTableName() function.
And the SM_DISPLAYTYPE properties are now part of the jsform object.
So it's correct that you don't see them.

[Kaptan]

Ok! I've also noticed that there is 'ELEMENT_TYPES' instead. I was wondering about this because I use it when creating a form through the solutionModel.

element types is a constant for the ui elements
It shouldnt be used for solution model those constants begin with SM_xxx or are constant within the objects that used them like JSForm
