Procedure Serialization

[Joshua Lowe]

Hi all,

I'm using the @blockly/block-shareable-procedures package and Blockly 11.2.1 to create custom procedure blocks. Everything works up until the point I serialize the workspace and load it back in.

I'm adding new procedure models with the following code within my custom function definition block: 

this.model = new ObservableProcedureModel(this.workspace, "my_function");

this.workspace.getProcedureMap().add(this.model);

Loading the serialized state fails because Blockly is trying to reference a procedure id, however it does not exist in the serialization. It seems only the blocks get serialized.

Is there an extra step I am missing in order to include procedures within the serialization? 

Thanks!

Forgot to add in my initial post that I'm serializing the entire workspace via:

Blockly.serialization.workspaces.save(workspace)

Which as far as I understood, should include everything, including procedures.

I might be missing something, but it looks like you need to explicitly call registerProcedureSerializer(), which you can import from the @blockly/block-shareable-procedures package.  That should probably be mentioned on the Using procedure blocks page in the documentation.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks Mark! My bad for not looking through the exports, as I probably could have found that from the comment attached to the function 😂

Definitely would help to have this mentioned in the docs.
