NoDataException: There is no return type for UIConnector.getWidget

I’ve been banging my head against the wall for the last three hours on this one, so I’m hoping someone here can help.

When my app starts and I try to access the home page (this is a very simple page with a few vert and horizontal layouts
I get the following java script error:

com.vaadin.client.ApplicationConfiguration
SEVERE: Default implementation of createWidget() does not work for UIConnector. This might be caused by explicitely using super.createWidget() or some unspecified problem with the widgetset compilation.java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default implementation of createWidget() does not work for UIConnector. This might be caused by explicitely using super.createWidget() or some unspecified problem with the widgetset compilation.

So I’ve just removed all of the ‘custom’ widgets from AppWidgetSet.xml as such:

<module>
    <!-- This file is automatically updated based on new dependencies by the 
        goal "vaadin:update-widgetset". -->

    <!-- Inherit DefaultWidgetSet -->
    <inherits name="com.vaadin.DefaultWidgetSet" />

    <!-- SBS: Optimisation recommended by the vaadin client debugger -->
    <generate-with class="au.org.scoutmaster.OptimizedConnectorBundleLoaderFactory">
        <when-type-assignable
            class="com.vaadin.client.metadata.ConnectorBundleLoader" />
    </generate-with>

    <!-- Uncomment the following to compile the widgetset for one browser only. 
        This can reduce the GWT compilation time significantly when debugging. The 
        line should be commented out before deployment to production environments. 
        Multiple browsers can be specified for GWT 1.7 as a comma separated list. 
        The supported user agents at the moment of writing were: ie6,ie8,gecko,gecko1_8,safari,opera 
        The value gecko1_8 is used for Firefox 3 and later and safari is used for 
        webkit based browsers including Google Chrome. -->
    <set-property name="user.agent" value="ie8,gecko1_8,safari" />

    <!-- To enable SuperDevMode, uncomment this line. SuperDevMode enables debugging 
        of the client side of a Vaadin application using the JavaScript debugger 
        of a browser. Java code is shown and debugging can take place on the Java 
        level when using a browser that support source maps (currently Chrome, implementation 
        under work for Firefox). After uncommenting this property, compile the widgetset 
        once and then start the SuperDevMode server process in parallel with your 
        normal server. Then add the command line parameter ?superdevmode to your 
        application URL. Vaadin Eclipse plug-in can create a launch for the SuperDevMode 
        server (Project Properties... -> Vaadin). See https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Using%20SuperDevMode 
        for more information and instructions. -->
    <set-configuration-property name="devModeRedirectEnabled"
        value="true" />


    <!-- 
    <inherits name="fi.jasoft.dragdroplayouts.DragDropLayoutsWidgetSet" />

    <inherits name="com.vaadin.addon.calendar.gwt.CalendarWidgetset" />

    <inherits name="org.vaadin.openesignforms.ckeditor.widgetset.VaadinCKEditorWidgetset" />

    <inherits name="org.vaadin.aceeditor.AceEditorWidgetSet" />

    <inherits name="org.vaadin.tokenfield.TokenfieldWidgetset" />
    
    <inherits name="org.vaadin.peter.buttongroup.ButtonGroupWidgetset" />
    
    <inherits name="org.vaadin.johan.Toolbox7Widgetset" />

    <inherits name="org.vaadin.peter.contextmenu.ContextmenuWidgetset"/>
    
    took this out.
    -->
</module>

So its a pretty basic appwidget set.
I was running 7.6.0 when the error started (after trying to a clean build) and upgrading to 7.6.1 didn’t help.

The problem occured when I deleted my ‘target’ directory as well as the gwt-unitCache and widgetsets and did a clean build.

I’ve tried re-compiling the widgetset and the java code multiple times as well as cleaning the eclipse project.

The entire code base is on github at:

Any suggestions as to where to start looking would be greatly appreciated.

A little more research.

If I remove my AppWidgetSet.gwt.xml the error goes away (of course I loose all my addon widgets then so that’s not a solution).
i.e. remove

@Widgetset(value = "au.org.scoutmaster.AppWidgetSet") From my NavigatorUI class.
