Hi,

I've been following Francesco's great guide here:

http://fcorti.com/pentaho-sparkl/how-to-interact-with-endpoints-pdi-jobs-or-transformations/

Which includes some generic webdetails code for calling Sparkl endpoints.

This works great - but now I want to tie in a dashboard change once an endpoint succeeds. Unfortunately if I use this.dashboard.fireChange in a success callback it doesnt know anything about this.dashboard and is undefined.

Is there any way around this?

How else would you handle visual confirmation of the success via a callback?

(The thread includes a discussion about using a button component, even if you do that you still have the same problem, it's still a separate success callback which knows nothing about this.dashboard)

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Dan.

I was doing some testing here and the button component success callback works fine in require.js dashboards. You can do this.dashboard.fireChange from the success callback and it will work.

Yeah, I know you sent this out ages ago, sorry for that.
