re-compile widgetset from 7.0.6 to 7.1.7 - my GUI disappears

Hi,

We started with 7.0.6 and created a Vaadin project. Since then, we have upgraded to the latest Vaadin Eclipse plugin. We decided to upgrade to the latest version of Vaadin 7.1.7. So we changed ivy.xml to that version. In doing so, we got the debug warning:
WARNING:

The widgetset in use does not seem to be built for the Vaadin
version in use. This might cause strange problems - a
recompile/deploy is strongly recommended.
Vaadin version: 7.1.7
Widgetset version: 7.0.6

We subsequently recompiled the widgetset. But now our application’s gui does not get fully rendered.

We create a navigator in the UI that navigates to a component which has a tabsheet. That gets created no problem as well as all the components in the stylesheet get their constructors called. However, none of the content in each tab gets rendered - its basically blank. So I see all these tabs with no content. Everything worked fine before.

We’ve done everything from cleaning the Ivy caches to refresh Ivy and Resolving Ivy. Re-compiling the widgetset multiple times does not fix the problem. Clearing the browser cache does nothing. Recompiling the theme does nothing to fix it. Restarting eclipse does nothing. Project clean does nothing.

If we revert back to the original widgetset that was built the first time the application was built, everything is fine and the GUI displays correctly.

No error messages are dumped either in eclipse console or the browser’s javascript console.

Is there anything else we could try to get a succesful re-compilation of the widgetset? Or are we stuck with 7.0.6?

Thanks for any ideas,

Pam

Hi,

can you check your browser’s network activity tab for what is actually loaded when the UI is not rendered? Also, enable debug mode for vaadin and add ?debug parameter to your URL - if Vaadin loads so far that you see the debug window it might offer some hints on what goes wrong.
