My code goes missing on Amber restart

Hello Amber Smalltalkers

I add and commit the following class and package in Helios

Widget subclass: #FormExample
 instanceVariableNames: 'formValues formInputs inputFactories extractionRecipes'
 package: 'KingTut2'

Commit saves the file as src/KingTut2.st and src/KingTut2.js

When I reload Helios my new package and class disappear !

What do I do to automatically reload the package KingTut2 on restart ??

Thanks

Tariq

I bet the package is newly created one. In that case, it is committed, but is not loaded back (amber does not know it needs it).

Either commit to the same packages in which your app is (did you use `amber inti` to create new project?), or if you want to have new package, you should tell the application that it needs to load it.

High level way to do this is to find the main app package in Helios, where there is the `imports: {}` line. You should add your package into these imports, like `imports: {'kingtut/KingTut2'}` (I don't know what is the namespace you use, I just guessed 'kingtut'), then save, _and then commit_ (the package does not change its color to red to mark it's dirty, it's known Helios bug).

Low-level way, not r
eally recommended, is to add 'kingtut/KingTut2' into deploy.js file.

Either way, the 'kingtut/KingTut2' must be listed as a dependency of some module (either 'deploy' (by adding it by hand to dploy.js) or 'kingtut/KingTut' (by adding it to imports:, saving and commiting) (again, guessing what you main app package is, now I guessed 'kingtut/KingTut)). Once it is listed as a dependency, it is loaded.

See "Notes" in here:

https://github.com/philippeback/amber-kickstart

Or look in the Gruntfile js which should have a place for you to list your package.

Normally, if you use the init thing in grunt, you shouldn't have to do that as your package is the one thing you specify during the init process.

Maybe Herby can help better here.

I see that this is also restated in

How do I add another package in version 0.13 (legacy IDE)?

Using the above FAQ, I edited devel.js to look like

Myapp-NewPackage now also appears with the default Myapp package

Many thanks Herby and Phil !

Re: My code goes missing on Amber restart

Your second suggestion leads to this, without editing devel.js

add a new package in Helios,

Package

named: 'Jericho'

Package

named: 'Myapp'

imports: {'amber-myapp/Jericho'. 'amber-myapp/Palestine'. 'amber/jquery/Wrappers-JQuery'. 'amber/web/Web'. 'silk/Silk'}

transport: (AmdPackageTransport namespace: 'amber-myapp')

Save and Commit MyApp

The new package Jericho will now appear on restarting/reopening Helios

Re: My code goes missing on Amber restart

If you added Jericho as a MyApp dependency, you need not (and probably should not) have it in deploy.js / devel.js.

The FAQ says to edit deploy.js - there is difference between the files,
actually, even if you may not see it in development, but if you have to
edit one of the two, it is probably deploy.js (list of packages that
need to load for app to work), not testing.js (list of oacakges needed
to run tests, it has deploy as dependency, so you only list when is
needed in adddition to deploy) or devel.js (list of packages to load
when developing an app; it has tresing as a dependency, so you only list
additional files here, like tooling)

Re: My code goes missing on Amber restart

Third way:

Create an example class in the amber project called MyApp:

Package

named: 'Yin'

Add a reference to Yin in the index.html file:

require(['app','amber-myapp/Yin'], function (amber) {

amber.initialize({

//used for all new packages in IDE

'transport.defaultAmdNamespace': "amber-myapp"

});

require(["amber-ide-starter-dialog"], function (dlg) { dlg.start(); });

amber.globals.Myapp._start();

});

</script>

Viola, Yin reappears on restart.

Re: My code goes missing on Amber restart

No, that explicitly discouraged. You are _not_ presumed to changed the ['app'] array in require call. It would break the tooling. The place to put 'amber-myapp/Yin' is either in deploy.js or in the amber-myapp/MyApp imports.
