TS 731 WFM instantiation not rendering

Adam Stoller

Environment

TeamSite 7.3.2 on Linux

Firefox from a Mac through a VPN to the customer site

 

Background

I've created a custom WFM (it has been validated and "published" to TeamSite)

The WFM has a number of ConfigurableVariables (some hidden, some not; some Global, some not)

I created a custom_instantiation.cfg using iwmodeldct

I submitted the custom_instantiation.cfg file

I configured the WFM to be available for Submit

 

Issue

When I attempt to instantiate the WFM, I get the instantiation window, with the name of the WFM at the top (in the gray bar), but the rest of the window is completely blank (no fields, no buttons, nothing)

 

I tried using Firebug, but other than telling me about a bunch of CSS warnings with iw.css, there are no errors in the Console, nor in the Net panel.

I tried setting the Script panel to Break on Exceptions - nothing

 

I modified the custom_instantiation.cfg so that the script section is very small, and other than the two console.log() statements I added, it's all OOTB (I have not modified the DCT-portion of the file yet, I wanted to see the initial rendering before I did that):

 

 

<script>
  console.log("A");
  function init() {
    console.log("B");
  }
  var startingItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Config/iw-StartingItem");
  startingItem.setVisible(false);
  IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);
</script>

 

 

 

There does not appear to be any errors in the iwjboss.log or server.log

The only thing I've been able to find of any significance is in the IWHOME/local/logs/iwui/error.log

 

[Fri Jan 02 10:14:42 2015] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: Error reading chunk  

 

I can get the instantiation form of other WFMs to render without a problem.

 

Help?

I cannot figure out why this WFM's instantiation form runs into a timeout when other WFM's instantiation forms do not (same server, nothing much really happening with FormAPI).

 

Would appreciate any reasonable guidance on how to debug / fix this - as I've been banging my head on it for over an hour and haven't come up with anything (other than a headache ;-))

Additional info:

 

Even commenting out all of the FormAPI code and most of the DCT form doesn't help

 

After a while, presumably after the timeout, I do see an error in the Firebug Console:

 

ReferenceError: dc_initForm is not defined - iw.ccpro.submit (line 1, col 11)

 

Still more info:

 

I tried deleting the custom_instantiation.cfg and submitted the deletion - and the problem still occurs.

 

So - I'm thinking this has less to do with the custom_instantiation.cfg and more to do with the model, but I cannot figure out what the issue with the model would be.
