fyi, in enableDebug I think:

var stats = fs.lstatSync(adapterDir2Try);

maybe should be
var stats = fs.statSync(adapterDir2Try);

As diagnostics suggest we're finding the link, and lstatSync() returns the link itself, rather than the target of the link.

Changing it, lets things go a bit further, but it still fails somewhat messily:

For now, I'm going to switch my development environment to Windows, as that seems to be working for you.

@Taragorm It is very well, that you want to get the visbebug runnnig, but
I don't understand, why you ignore my other suggestions:

The problem with non existing index.html.original is fixed only on github.

Taragorm

@Bluefox I

@Bluefox said in getting started with visualisations:

@Taragorm No matter. With iobroker r vis && iobroker u vis it should work.
Not Fast, but work.

Just tried to execute (windows):

and cannot see any errors

I tried this; I don't get any errors, but I don't get a visualisation in the toolbox either.

That's why I trying to enable debug.

@Bluefox said in getting started with visualisations:

@Taragorm I do it like this.

My folder structure is like this one:
/opt/iobroker
        iobroker.my-new-adapter
        node_modules
               ...
               iobroker.js-controle
               iobroker.xxxx
               ...
Then I install my new adapter by writing npm i iobroker.my-new-adapter in /opt/iobroker.
As result the npm creates a sym-link to my developer folder:
/opt/iobroker
        iobroker.my-new-adapter
        node_modules
               ...
               iobroker.js-controle
               iobroker.my-new-adapter (symlink)
               iobroker.xxxx
               ...
after that I develop my adapter as usual in /opt/iobroker/iobroker.my-new-adapter even as a git repo.

after every change I write iobroker r vis && iobroker u vis This should work 100%.

Additionally I can write iobroker visdebug my-new-adapter and if I see the output
Disable cache I restart the iobroker (only for the first time).

After that I can directly modify the file /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/widgets/my-new-adapter.html and after every browser refresh it will be loaded anew from disk. So you can fast see your changes.

But, the changes in /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/widgets/my-new-adapter.html must be copied to /opt/iobroker/iobroker.my-new-adapter/widgets/ manually and you may not call iobroker u vis till you do that, else they will be overwritten

...and I have also set my environment up like this.

Bluefox

Please set here the names without vis-

Bluefox

And you may not change class.

Taragorm

thanks, will do

Taragorm

It's showing in the toolbox now - many thanks!

Taragorm

Much progress, but another small issue.

My visualisation shows values ok in the edit dialog.

In the normal view, it shows the "undefined" value... unless the value is used by a different widget.

This suggests I've done something wrong in binding, but as far as I can see, I've done pretty much what the template does.

Have I missed something out? It feels like whatever code that populates vis.states[] hasn't been invoked correctly. (i.e. the view seems to be unaware of the points I'm asking for).

Taragorm

ps: Changed the repo to: https://github.com/Taragorm/ioBroker.vistaragorm

Bluefox

@Taragorm It can be, that I forgot to describe, that all ObjectID Variables Names must start with "oid..." or end with "...oid" or "...oidN" (N is any number from 0 to 99)

Please use following files, that work:
vistaragorm.js
vistaragorm.html

Taragorm

Ah, that would be it then - I may have missed it.

I assumed that the /id type in the attr declaration was what did it.

Taragorm

That works nicely, thanks.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to force subscription?

I have a case where I have mutiple values on a sensor, and I'd like to be able to just specify the sensor oid for the widget, and have the implementation figure out the values.

e.g. I have
foo.bah.x
foo.bah.y
foo.bah.z

.. I'd like to only have to supply an oid of foo.bah - the widget can add .x, .y etc as those are fixed.

or does supplying an oid = "foo.bah" create a subscription for changes of all children too?

Taragorm

In case it's not obvious, I'd like a widget to be able to generate oids based on, or relative to, an oid in an attribute, and have the object correctly added to the widget/view so I can get data from it.

Surely there must be a way to do this?

Bluefox

@Taragorm I must check it

Taragorm

Appreciated

Bluefox

@Taragorm Now I understand, what you want.
The solution is to provide all OIDs during configuration. You can see the example:

If your first OID is changed, the defined function (in example vis.binds.hqwidgets.changedButtonId) will be called and you can define other fields there with desired OIDs.

Taragorm

Thanks- that solves the problem!

@Bluefox I do struggle with the following instruction:
"replace index.html and edit.html replace files in /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/index.html and edit.html with files from /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/index.html.original and edit.html.original. Change the file /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/cache.manifest. No matter what, just one symbol to trigger the browser to load files anew. The files must be smaller than 200k. If you have got wrong files, so they are definitly largen than 400k."

I understood ..
Replace the following two files /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/index.html & /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/edit.html with
/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/index.html.original and /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/edit.html.original.

in other words..
cp /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/index.html.original /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/index.html
cp /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/edit.html.original /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/files/vis/edit.html

Is this correct ?

If yes, in my installation
/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/index.html.original and /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.vis/www/edit.html.original do not exist!
