S.notice and RedirectTo

[Mads Hartmann Jensen]

Hey guys,

usually when I use S.notice and friends it goes something like this

...calculations...
S.notice("W00t, all went well")
redirectTo("meaningful/page")

Now I'm in a situation where the redirect is a javascript RedirectTo instead and the S.notice(..) doesn't show up. I should say that this
is inside a CometActor and the code is like this:

val url = ....
S.notice("Succesfully saved things")
partialUpdate(RedirectTo(url))

First off, is this the expected behavior that the notice doesn't show?

If it is I think it would be nice to add something like

RedirectToWithNotices(List[Box[String]])
RedirectToWithErrors(List[Box[String]])
.... etc.

or at least something that would allow for a js redirect and show a message.

Thanks,
Mads Hartmann Jensen

Anecdotal evidence only, but when I've done this kind of thing with AJAX the notice doesn't show up.

I've taken to using the following pattern, but I can't remember where I acquired it. I think it was a thread on this list, but I can't find it in my local mail.

RedirectTo(S.mapFuncToURI(url, () => {
S.notice(msg)
S.redirectTo(url)
}))

I've not tried it with Comet, but it works with AJAX redirects.

That said, some sugar for this would be welcomed :)

Cheers,
D

Thanks for that David. Just needed that bit of code today!

My guess why it behaves this way:
S.notice / warning / error works the same way for ajax and "common
http" requests. So if you fill S.error in a ajax request, the ajax
response itself will contain and therefore bind the error messages on
the current page (S messages are cleared). Unfortunately, our response
contains a RedirectTo too and just jumps away from the current page to
our target page.

So I think that S.notice / warning / error do show up but only for a
very limited time.

Lift 2.2-RC1 has RedirectTo(page, () => function).  You can put whatever notices you need in () => function.
