Haxe 3.2.0-rc.1 and HTMLElement error

[Chris Anderson]

sorry to bug guys.  hit an issue after upgrading to haxe to 3.2 (also tested uninstall + install):

src/polymer/PolymerBase.hx:8: lines 8-19 : Module js.html.HtmlElement is loaded with a different case than js.html.HTMLElement

extern class PolymerBase extends HTMLElement implements ArrayAccess<Node>
{
}

if i test removing extend HTMLElement the std js lib starts to complain:

C:\HaxeToolkit\haxe\std/js/html/SelectElement.hx:28: lines 28-53 : Module js.html.HtmlElement is loaded with a different case than js.html.HTMLElement

appreciate any help

[Chris Anderson]

also unrelated, when installing 3.2 the installer mentions 3.1.3 in a few places

There have been rather extensive changes to the js.html package to match the specification more closely. This is a list of the changes: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/html-externs#haxe-32-api-migration

The concrete problem in your case is that HTMLElement is now HTMLHtmlElement and Element is now HtmlElement, wheareas now Element designates a common supertype for HtmlElement and SvgElement.

An alternative I have proposed was to call said supertype BaseElement and leave the old names as they were, but haven't gotten any feedback on that. I guess it's too later for that to happen now, but you never know.

The easiest thing right now is to put the old externs (get them at https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/releases/tag/3.1.3) into an extra directory and -cp them.

Best,

Juraj

There's some more discussion about this over at https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues/4024#issuecomment-81959146

Hm,

when I include js.html.ScriptElement I get:

ScriptElement.hx:28: lines 28-40 : HtmlElement is now HTMLElement, please replace all occurences accordingly.

which is rather weird, because ScriptElement is already:

extern class ScriptElement extends HTMLElement

what is Haxe trying to tell me ?

For the moment, it is best to go with old externs.

cheers, Adrian.

It is telling you to replace all occurrences of HtmlElement with
HTMLElement. However, that's not entirely correct either (and will be
updated again soon). See

ahh - now I get it. Maybe the message should be 

please replace ALL occurrences in EVERY classpath and library included in your project accordingly. 

best, Adrian.

I've changed the error message again to mention https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/html-externs#htmlelement where we can document this more accurately. I've also taken off the position because it would report the one where it's _not_ broken in most cases.

I presume when it had the position it would help me know which haxelib I needed to fix? 
I made a small change to openfl textfield
 line 1188  change to           div = Browser.document.createDivElement();
I found on the issues list but I don't know if the project is more fixed or less fixed, does this error refer to one problem or many? 
The haxe compiler is normally very helpful but with this issue it seems to be not helpful.

[Simon Krajewski]

Are you getting that error with RC2? I forgot to remove it but I don't
think it should actually trigger in RC2.

I am getting the error on RC2 but the version number only says 3.2.0
which is not ideal just reinstalled to be double sure, but my downloads
show I have already downloaded so yes this is with RC2. (
http://haxe.org/download/version/3.2.0-rc.2 ) mac build on yosemite.

I tried to reduce the code to bare minimium but still representative of
the openfl build structure so would need
an "src" folder with Main.hx in and an "Assets" folder which is empty.

Main.hx

package;
import flash.display.Sprite;
class Main extends Sprite {
public static function main(): Void {
Lib.current.addChild(new Main());
}
public function new() {
super();
}
}

application.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project>
<meta title="TestOpenfl" package="lib.TestOpenfl.examples"

</project>

build.hxml

-cmd lime build application.xml html5 -debug -v

currently my haxelib looks like...
actuate: 1.8.1 [1.8.2]
box2d: [1.2.3]
format: [3.1.2]
haxelib_client: [3.1.0-rc.4]

swf: 1.7.6 [1.7.7]

Obviously this is an Openfl issue unless I am mistaken, but really hard
to locate it?

Bruno just removed the error message rewrite so you can just grab the
latest executable from builds.haxe.org and drop it in.
