Re: Migrating from GWT 2.5.1 to 2.8.2 - Problem with Super dev mode

Hi Thomas,

Many thanks for your time and answer! I was indeed playing with the legacy plugin ... :)  Things work much better now. The super dev mode is really great by the way.

I used your plugin and revamped slightly the client project (moved my main mymodule.gwt.xml to /src/main/java/module.gwt.xml and all my sources to /src/main/java). I'm then running code server with launcherDir arg pointing to my php root.

As for the downside of overriding nocache.js, I think the ideal process of deploying is compiling within a CI chain so it won't matter at all :)

Many thanks again,

Ludovit

Hey guys,

I'm trying to migrate my app which looks like this : 

GWT 2.5.1 front, PHP back, no maven -> GWT 2.8.2 front, PHP back, maven with gwt-maven-plugin.

I manage to mvn gwt:compile and mvn gwt:run-codeserver.

I actually think I'm confused about how the SDM runs now in 2.7+ but here is what I was thinking : 

1. Run compile (optional ? ) via mvn gwt:compile
2. Run code server via mvn gwt:run-codeserver
3. Save the bookmarklet and compile via the popup on my gwt page 
4. re-compile on every code change manually

In 2.7+, you can do:

1. Run code server with -launchDir pointing to the directory served by your server

(there's no other step, code server will automatically compile/recompile on page load)

With Mojo's plugin (you did notice the maintainer now "strongly encourage[s you] to use the new [plugin]" though, right? see https://gwt-maven-plugin.github.io/gwt-maven-plugin/ ), that's <launcherDir> and <webappDirectory>.

The only downside is that code server when run this way will overwrite the mymodule.nocache.js, so make sure you recompile the app before packaging/deploying (gwt-maven-plugin staleness check might be confused, so "mvn clean", or force recompilation with -Dgwt.compiler.force)

The third point is the one that isn't working anymore (was ok in 2.5.1). In the popup I have :

mymodule : off This module doesn't have Super Dev Mode enabled.

Here is my module file: removed all the SDM lines that I understood are now useless, doesn't work anyway if I keep them :)

<module rename-to='mymodule'>
 <!-- Inherits -->
        <!-- ... -->

 <!--  Entry point -->
 <entry-point class="com.mycompany.mymodule.client.mymodule"></entry-point>

 <!-- paths -->
 <source path='client' />
 <source path='shared' />

 <!--  SDM  -->
  <!-- <add-linker name="xsiframe"/>
 
  <set-configuration-property name="devModeRedirectEnabled" value="true"/>
 <set-property name="compiler.useSourceMaps" value="true"/> -->
 
  <set-configuration-property name="CssResource.conversionMode"    value="strict" />
</module>

I'm serving my php page from a docker container on my localhost (so no HTTPS).

Any help is much appreciated :)

Ludovit
