Re: Question about SuperDevMode/codeserver

I was able to set the launcherDir to server/target/classes/static and that seems to make it work the way I was expecting.

Hello,

I have a multi-module Maven project setup similar to the multi-module archetype, but created before I knew about that, using GWT 2.8.2 and the gwt-maven-plugin 1.0-rc-9.

shared - Contains DTOs with JS interop annotations, packaged as gwt-lib

client - GWT code, depends on shared as gwt-lib

server - spring-boot application which depends on client and shared modules, packages the nocache.js from client into target/classes/static at build time, also serves the index.html

I launch the application from IntelliJ using a standard run configuration to start the server, and then a "mvn gwt:codeserver" from the root module where launcherDir is pointing to "{project.build.Directory}/gwt/launcherDir" of the root module.

The first time I load the application in Chrome it will automatically compile and then load fine. If I then make a change to something in the client module and refresh the page, it does not automatically compile. If I then click the bookmark for "Dev Mode On", it will pop up the dialog and if I click compile it works fine.

I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the first page load and the subsequent ones. Looking in Chrome Dev Tools after the first page load, I can see that some script elements get injected at the top of the head element related to recompile, but then when I do the next refresh some of those elements are no longer there, but there is still one element pointing to the codeserver for the nocache.js.

Is there anything obvious that I'm missing preventing the auto-compile on refresh?

One thing I tried was altering the server's locations for static resources by setting spring.resources.static-location=file://../target/gwt/launcherDir,classpath:/static/  so that it would load the nocache.js from the launcherDir, but doesn't seem to really change the behavior. Maybe that part isn't working the way I think it is.

Thanks,

Bryan
