[Fixed] "No such form" when creating row form in repeating panel

Bug Reports
#1

I am making the rows in a datagrid editable - foolowing the tutorial closely, except that data coms from upling and MsSql. I do not think the uplink-part is a problem.

I have tried repeatedly and stumble into the same situation again and again. I double click the repeating panel, and get the row template. Regardless if I edit it or not, when I run it, the running screen says “No such form 'person.RowTemplate2” and the output says: AttributeError: module 'MsSql_database_qftest.person.RowTemplate2._anvil_designer' has no attribute 'personTemplate'
There is a RowTemplate2 in the form-select part.
(In this situation I am really happy with the version and branch system in Anvil. )

There is not much code yet:

from ._anvil_designer import personTemplate
from anvil import *
import anvil.server
import anvil.tables as tables
import anvil.tables.query as q
from anvil.tables import app_tables

class person(personTemplate):
  def __init__(self, **properties):
    # Set Form properties and Data Bindings.
    self.init_components(**properties)
    persons = anvil.server.call('get_person')
    self.person_repeating_panel.items = persons

  def search_button_click(self, **event_args):
    searchResult = anvil.server.call('search_person',self.search_box.text)
    self.person_repeating_panel.items=searchResult

  def search_box_pressed_enter(self, **event_args):
    self.search_button_click()

  def add_button_click(self, **event_args):
    anvil.server.call('add_person',self.navn_input_box.text, self.telefon_input_box.text,self.alder_input_box.text)
    all = anvil.server.call('get_person')
    self.person_repeating_panel.items = all

The first error I see here is that there is no Server function registered for the server call on Line 12 of the person form.

There actually is no server code at all.

I’ve reported this to anvil support.

They are aware of the issue and are working on it.

Steps to generate the errror:

  1. Add a data grid
  2. Double-click RowTemplate
  3. Add Component to Row Template column
  4. Add event handler method to RowTemplate

What you’ll find is that the RowTemplate code has been replaced with it’s parent form code.

So no solution, but I definitely share the pain and they are working on it :slight_smile:

EDIT

This only happens on certain applications, so it’s not a global app issue, which confused me a bit.

#4

There are server code in the uplink-program that connects to the app, and it works, until the point where I got the problem I wrote about.

#5

So I must find another way to do the same, for now.

#6

They’re pretty quick once an issue like this is raise, but if you’d like to implement another table…

Tabulator is my preferred route.

Pros: a lot more capability
Cons: More set up, “looks” different than your application if you’re using the anvil themes

I quote “looks” because that’s my opinion not a fact.

#7

Anvil just emailed me back! It’s fixed! I tested it out myself as well.
