showOpenDialog has changed to an asynchronous function

[pontasan]

Hi.

I have a question about showOpenDialog.

Until StarUML version 6.1.1, showOpenDialog was a synchronous function. However, starting from version 6.1.2, it has become asynchronous (6.2.1 is also the same as 6.1.2).

The latest API documentation indicates that it does not return a Promise and is described as a synchronous function.

https://files.staruml.io/api-docs/6.0.0/api/index.html#dialogmanager https://docs.staruml.io/developing-extensions/using-dialogs

Which is correct: the asynchronous behavior from 6.1.2 onwards or the synchronous description in the API documentation?

Reference: This change is likely due to an upgrade in the Electron platform.

Regards,

Pontasan

Hello Pontasan,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Electron's Linux distribution had issues with synchronous dialogs, so switching to asynchronous caused API inconsistencies.

https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/42621

The issue has been fixed in the 6.2.2 hotfix, which has now been released.

We have now changed the dialog API back to the synchronized version. Instead, we've added two new functions: showOpenDialogAsync and showSaveDialogAsync. (Documentation will be added later after stabilization.) If you're experiencing issues with your extension not working on linux, please try the asynchronous API.

Thank you,

StarUML Team

Hello,

I have the same problem on ubuntu 20.04. 

I cannot export xmi or any extension output since version 6.1.2. The 6.2.2 fix didn't fix it.

[StarUML]

XMi extension is now updated for async dialogs. Please try the new version.

Thanks,
