Help with error when trying the example Rename Command

HFCDev

Hi,

  I'm trying to deploy the rename command example that comes with the CSUI SDK.  I previously got it to work outside of the grunt build task, where I would copy the src directory of my project and all its associated components straight to my OTHome\support\module name dir. For that to work, I did have to change all my instances of define to csui.define in order that they work.

  What I am trying to do is deploy the "OpenText" way, where I use the grunt task to build my minified and fully linted code and then deploy the contents of out-release or even out-debug to my OTHome\support\module directory.

  I'm hitting an issue where in my copy of rename, even thought I've changed everything and grunt doesn't complain particularly (although I don't have the tests working as I haven't figured out how to give them the right stuff to connect to Content Server from the test script).  I get this one error when the page loads:

How do find what in that code is causing the error?  I've been using Firefox as my browser.  I get the same error in Chrome.  In all cases, I will get a message along the lines of http://servername/img/<modulename>/commands/rename/rename.header.menuitem.js not found. The file is not in http://servername/img/<modulename&gt; but nor is the widget. I did look in http://servername/img/<modulename>/bundles/<modulename>-all.js and there I found it's not there. 

How do I get the files, for the rename example, rename.header.menuitem.js and rename.nodestable.toolbaritem.js to be included in the release build?  the rename.command.js file is.  Is there a manifest file missing from the rename commands example?

This is for CS 20.2.

I found the root cause of the command not being found in the bundle.  In the src/bundles directory, you need to open up your <module>-all.js file and add explicit entries to it for the files that are missing.  For instance, to add the rename command to your project, you need to do something like this inside the define statement:

... previous lines,...

 'modulename/commands/rename/rename.command',
  'modulename/commands/rename/rename.header.menuitems',
  'modulename/commands/rename/rename.nodestable.toolitems',

...rest of the define statement

Like many others, I started out with an empty project, added a default widget to it (using yo csuiextensions:widget) which populated the modulename-all.js starter file in my project src directory.

The rename example in the CSUI SDK is good in that it provides more direction than almost any other example I've seen, but it is missing that crucial thing you need to do.  Is this properly documented somewhere, so developers know when they create a command, what needs to be added to their modulename-all.js so that everything that is required gets copied into the bundle?
