Wondering if there is something we are doing wrong...  

We are not seeing a sidepanel icon in the new Gmail UI.  Is visible in the old UI - can't see how we can toggle the panel????


and in the old UI



Thanks for your help,

I have the same problem, I have used this code:

sdk.Conversations.registerThreadViewHandler(threadView => {
threadView.addSidebarContentPanel({
id: 'sideBar',
title: 'IOET Sidebar',
iconUrl: 'https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qIlVwiQOxgmaFeEsek_mshbEVS389Z0hqcHqiWAvXZKZOUa1Ickmi8KyP1l4y9-u1WrcFuznBXwGOTYQHA2fE8-qo6ZRgg08O3JyImElKrPKqV-hjmeEvDqX4vp2ceLc6HCkFHq4GnNe1djtMnRURTwNyuT8Owy2fzTCmNXLKzBruKtOdO03Z1Qvz_31IwkvgLJ8uoZjseVP0hGPxHlCjcRJrqkiTfu4w1ZTu59F84YvTYd27w9tF5xV90eYIkwBX4_oPP2U3rFNSUwJ8npdh4MUHV7x5_acbCQzkKSf_IgPGZUf7Ol84XQ6tP_ZNk9h7Ca-YJuaisE9FgrAxyL1X83BbHV7scagxgp8jLKoOIj38jP6ZJ0D8UsWZ2DFi-fDKFsBMSMdx1SE7KGHKmFyKFH3fJOc5fwUJczOUoea85oheZZAI0V6LUbisgjkYEGcLhrOx-NxibipHigoe7OJie2lKfQxoDjLU_e54vA7GqjKHgLX-Po7HDDr-1kf4lpEELiRVSnubLgfL9wAV-fGNfMzewxJTSGEpnwu_4gdnQ2kGAdbBimYapnT_rS6HjmD2uv-hfiGxZpUt-AnZafY4UzgscdoCKKQrJ61Cfo=s225-no',//chrome.runtime.getURL('monkey.png'),

})

and this the error message in console:

I can see there is an error occurring here:


        var el = document.createElement("div");
        el = buildHTMLShell();

        const cpv = threadView.addSidebarContentPanel({
            title: 'iLink',
            iconUrl: chrome.extension.getURL('images/iLinkIcon.png'),
            el: el
        });
        
        cpv.once('activate', () => {
            initialised = true;
            contentViewActive(found);
        });


The Error generated is

Error in response to storage.get: Error: did not find companionSidebarContentContainerEl

Hi InboxSDK team,

Reading through other threads I see that seems to be a known issue.  Others have added retry logic etc.  What do you recommend for dealing with this issue?

Hi Inbox team,

Is there any update on this - we are getting a lot of grief from our users.  Would like to provide an update to them.

Ok - Thanks.

It also seems there is something else/different going on.  When we change our code to wait until the companionSidebarContentContainerEl has been instantiated, our side panel builds and the error does not occur.  However there is no button on the sidebar to open the panel.  This is only in the new UI.  No error is generated.  Am at a loss as to how to work around this.

These issues should be solved now. Please let us know if you still have any issues with the sidebar.

Can you inspect the element and see if there are any CSS rules (such as from the InboxSDK) blocking the images from appearing? I've never seen the InboxSDK affect all buttons like this. I wonder if maybe the images just failed to load for you.
