CPWindow Won't Show

[Keary Suska]

Using XcodeCapp...everything was working fine until I renamed my window controller class but now I cannot get the window to show by any means other than as a sheet.

The code in my window controller is:

returnCode = [CPApp runModalForWindow:[self window]];

Simply calling [self showWindow:self] doesn't work either. No error--just silently refuses to display the window. I can see and test that the cib is being loaded and that the window exists as expected, but no show.

I have forced XcodeCapp to recreate the cib, but to no avail. The xib looks fine--the file's owner has the correct class and the outlet is wired.

Is there any way to debug this?

What version of Capp are you running?

Latest master, I hope. Showing version 0.9.7-1 (last commit January 9, 2015 at 11:41:52 AM MST).

Can you post a reduction?

How did you rename your Window Controller class? It may be a typo?

I had once the same problem but... it was only my fault...

Please check :

- typo of the filename containing the class ;

- typo of the classname ;

- typo of the include ;

- typo of the variables declarations.

My fault was simply that I forgot to change the include...

Hope this helps,

Didier.

make sure your browser-cache is cleared.

No typo that I can see. The curious thing is that the class loads and functions properly. It is only the window in the cib that will not show, unless I show it as a sheet. Then it works.

Re-cleared and re-tested, same result. I also get the same result in multiple browsers.

Thanks,

I have attached a reduction to this email--I didn't want to file a bug as among other things, I am not exactly sure what is wrong (i.e. is it a framework or nib2cib bug, if a bug at all?)

TIA,

I don't know if this is just a typo in your reduction, but your Cib is named "Login" while the `initWithWindowCibNamed` is looking for "LogIn"

I hadn't noticed that, which would bite me later, but isn't involved in the current issue--i.e. the cib loads fine as far as I can tell and fixing the typo does not correct the problem in either the reduction or original.

Note that the typo probably happened when I tried to reconstruct the xib from scratch (mostly--I copied the fields and buttons but reconstructed everything else fresh). So, I have tried that as well, in case anyone thinks to recommend it ;-)

Well, you're also calling 'orderOut' in `presentLoginWindow` which immediately hides it once it's been shown. If I comment out the `orderOut:` it works fine.

OK, so the real issue is that Capp doesn't handle modal sessions the same. If the following code returns immediately:

returnCode = [CPApp runModalForWindow:[self window]];

can returnCode ever have a real value?

JavaScript is a single threaded language, and that thread blocks the browser's other functions, so you can't have blocking code like that (with the exception of the built-in functions like alert).
