(Badly) Generated module is not showing after installation (22.1)

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, there is a strange thing happening for us.

We need to create completely new module with Eclipse and install it in CS to view its functionality in Smart UI for version 22.1. Unfortunately the module seems to not be loaded properly after instalation.

We eliminated potential Smart UI errors - configuration errors in extension.json or bundles.js by just trying the steps in other already existing modules.

Seems that we have problem creating new one with eclipse but no idea why because the folder structure seems similar for new and older ones.

ModuleInstall.zip

Our steps Eclipse (building a NEW module ixtcus)

new Oscript project
new module creation
building module
new module shows in staging folder

Our steps Smart UI - there is everything ok, because the exact same process works for some other already existing modules

new project with yeoman
new hello widget with yeoman
grunt
copying out-release folder to support folder of a module ixtcus

Our steps CS

installing module in CS admin section
installation succesful
restart
perspective manager does not show widget (ERROR)

Module in attachement

The steps for generating modules can be found here https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=79435566&objAction=browse&viewType=1 for 22.1. I believe that Eclipse version is ok to use with the version of com.opentext.cside_22.1.zip

Have you orphaned CSUIExtension? This will act as hook for smartui

public Object CSUIExtension inherits CSUI::Extension

override Boolean fEnabled = TRUE

override Dynamic fModulePrefix = 'simpl'

end

Thank you for your answer. I did not do this step you mentined. How exactly you do it in Eclipse when generating a module for Smart UI?

Hari Prasad Dontu

After generating the module, you need to orphan CSUIExtension Object in your oScript project

Right click on your module --> New Object

Name: CSUIExtension

Parent: CSUI::Extension

Package can be anything

After the object created, override features fEnabled and fModulePrefix (code is as per above post)

Thank you for your help. I orphaned CSUI. Referring to the image from OTEX presentation... you need to specify Require.js prefix. Where do I have to do it? In fModulePrefix? Example: if my module is named Jaka - I will replace override Dynamic fModulePrefix = 'simpl' with override Dynamic fModulePrefix = 'jaka' ?

Or I misunderstand it?

Vit Jasansky

I changed the fModulePrefix from simpl to "example mymoduleprefix" and it seems to be working. Thank you for your help :)
