self call: not working
Locked
 
|
Hi all,
I'm trying to use #call: but it's not working as expected. renderContentOn: html | answer | answer := self call: (MyComponent new). "do other stuff with answer .." Another (and simple) example: renderContentOn: html self inform: 'foobar' both render blank pages. Is this something I've configured incorrectly somewhere, or is there a bug? (Originally occured with Seaside-2.8a1-pmm.476, just tested with Seaside-2.8a1-tbn.539) I've created a new component and left everything in /config as default. Regards, John.

If you want your top-level component to have no native rendering of its own, just calling other components, you should be using a WATask and overriding #go instead of overriding #renderContentOn: in a WAComponent. See http://methodsandmessages.vox.com/library/post/seaside-watask-vs-wacomponent.html and http://methodsandmessages.vox.com/library/post/a-few-bits-about-children-in-seaside.html for details.

Thanks, I suspected it was callback only, but is there not a way to use
#call: without requiring a user action?

Sime, the Seaside code-critics framework, automatically detects that kind of problems. http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/slime.html Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

To answer myself, yes there is - WATask.
WATask>>go self isolate: [ answer := self call: MyComponent new ]. self call: (MyComponent2 new answer: answer) Regards, John. www.pinesoft.co.uk John Thornborrow wrote: > Thanks, I suspected it was callback only, but is there not a way to use > #call: without requiring a user action? > > Keith Hodges wrote: >> John Thornborrow wrote: >>> Hi all, >>> >>> I'm trying to use #call: but it's not working as expected. >>> >>> renderContentOn: html >>> | answer | >>> answer := self call: (MyComponent new). >>> "do other stuff with answer .." >>> >>> Another (and simple) example: >>> >>> renderContentOn: html >>> self inform: 'foobar' >>> >>> both render blank pages.

To follow this up... It doesn't quite work as I had hoped.
MyRootComponent>>renderContentOn: html html render: LoginTask new. LoginTask>>go self isolate: [ answers := self call: LoginForm new ] model loginWith: (answers at: 1) password: (answers at: 2) LoginForm>>renderContentOn: html html form with: [ html textInput id: 'username'; callback: [ :x | username := x ]. html textInput id: 'password'; callback: [ :x | password := x ]. html submitButton callback: [ self answer: answer ] ] Renders a blank page.. is there anything different I can do, so that it will achieve this same goal?

Does render: execute LoginTask>>go ? > LoginTask>>go > self isolate: [ answers := self call: LoginForm new ] > model loginWith: (answers at: 1) password: (answers at: 2) the task is finished after the user has entered data once. Where's the logic requiring a task for this linear flow? How about LoginTask>>go [ self isolate: [ answers := self call: LoginForm new ] ] repeatUntil: [model loginWithAll: answers] where loginWithAll: would return true if the authentication is successful. > > LoginForm>>renderContentOn: html > html form with: [ > html textInput > id: 'username'; > callback: [ :x | username := x ]. > html textInput > id: 'password'; > callback: [ :x | password := x ]. > html submitButton callback: [ self answer: answer ] > ] Shouldn't that be [ self answer: (Array with: username with: password) ] to fit the LoginTask? s. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

I think I mentioned it once in the mailing list. I also blogged about it: http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/slime Again, if anybody has other Seaside related smells that would be useful to detect, I would be glad to try to add them.
