PM92884: APPLICATIONS USING DOJO DO NOT RENDER IN EMULATORS OR ON DEVICES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When developing a Dojo-enabled application, widgets do not
  render when the application is deployed in an emulator or on a
  device; however, the application renders properly when
  previewing in the Mobile Browser Simulator.
  

Local fix

• One can work around this by disabling the development
  configuration for using the associated Dojo Library project. To
  do this, open the Console view in Worklight Studio (Window >
  Show View > Other...> Console). From the Console view, click the
  Open Console button and choose Dojo Library Requests from the
  list. From the Dojo Library Requests console, click the View
  Menu (the triangle in the toolbar), and uncheck Provide Library
  Resources. After this, build and deploy your application to your
  emulator or device.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When developing a Dojo-enabled application, widgets do not   *
  * render when the application is deployed in an emulator or on *
  * a device; however, the application renders properly when     *
  * previewing in the Mobile Browser Simulator. This is because  *
  * some of the modules have been mapped to a location that      *
  * cannot be accessed from the emulator or device.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  For the module mapping that makes use of the Dojo Library
  project, localhost was used as the host machine. When using
  Preview on the development machine, this is fine. Once deployed
  on a device or emulator, however, the localhost is the device
  and does not provide the library resources. The user may first
  notice that the widgets on the page do not render. Additionally,
  logs may also indicate a script error: Error: scriptError at
  file:///data/data/com.WorklightApp/files/www/default/dojo/dojo.j
  s:21
  

Problem conclusion

• In the application, the code was corrected to use the host
  development machine's IP address instead of localhost.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.0.0.1.
  A fix is available in 6.0.0.0-IF201307011413 and later.
