Vaadin Addon errors when building CUBA app

Support
#1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use this Vaadin addon

I’ve built the addon and added it to my MavenLocal repository like this.

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=target/postmessage-1.1.0.jar -DgroupId=com.vaadin.pekka -DartifactId=postmessage -Dversion=1.1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

It uses vaadin-client and vaadin-server and I changed the Vaadin Version to 7.7.13

That all seemed to work fine. I followed the CUBA instructions to add the addon using
<dependency> <groupId>org.vaadin.pekka</groupId> <artifactId>postmessage</artifactId> <version>1.1.0</version> </dependency>

and checked the Maven Local Repository setting.

Building the project caused a bunch of errors.

I changed this in the build.graddle file
compile('org.vaadin.pekka:postmessage:1.1.0')
to
compile('org.vaadin.pekka:postmessage:1.1.0') { exclude(group: 'com.vaadin') }

I also tried recompiling the addon changing the Vaadin Version from 7.7.13 to 7.7.13.cuba.6

Both these eliminated a lot of errors but I’m still left with a couple of issues and can’t seem to work out what to do to fix them.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The mentioned addon contains a client side, so this means that you need to inherit its widgetset. In order to do this:

  1. Add web toolkit module to your project
  2. Add the following line to the AppWidgetSet.gwt.xml file right after CUBA WidgetSet:
<inherits name="com.vaadin.pekka.postmessage.PostmessageaddonWidgetset"/>
  1. Try to recompile the project.

I’ve successfully added the PostMessageAddon with 1.0.1 version since there is no need to build it manually.

Hi Gleb

I have that line in my file but mine is in red which seems like it can’t find it.

I noticed in the addon code there is reference to doSendPendingVariableChanges() in the GWT code

/*-{ conn.@com.vaadin.client.ApplicationConnection::doSendPendingVariableChanges()(); }-*/;

which I think should be changed to

/*-{ conn.@com.vaadin.client.ApplicationConnection::getServerRpcQueue().flush()(); }-*/;

When I do that the App seems to compile but I’m not sure if the Widgetset is OK.

I’m not sure what your project is like to get it added so easily. I’ve had major troubles.
