Hi,
Disclaimer: T5.4 is still work in progress, so this is just to provide an
initial feedback of my experience upgrading a small pet project from T5.3.6
to T5.4.
Overall, the upgrade was smooth. I am building the Jars locally while
skipping the tests as I know things are still in flux. I just wanted to get
a feel of how much effort will be needed and how to leverage the new
features.
1) I removed all references to my custom Twitter Bootstrap integration and
use the following on my Layout class:
@Import(stack = {"core"},
stylesheet = {"context:css/custom.css",
"${tapestry.bootstrap-root}/css/bootstrap-responsive.css"}
)
public class Layout {
...
void afterRender() {
javaScriptSupport.require("bootstrap");
}
}
2) I added to following to AppModule ApplicationDefaults configuration
configuration.add(SymbolConstants.COMBINE_SCRIPTS, "true");
This is just to minimize the number of javascript files to load.
The above 2 changes were enough to get me going. Note that I don't have a
lot of custom JavaScripts in this project, so YMMV.
I ran into a few issues:
a. I still see Prototype & Scriptaculous (+t5.3-compatibility) being loaded.
How can I get rid of these completely without overriding the core
JavascriptStack? It appears that there is some conflict between Prototype
and JQuery causing the collapsing responsive navbar not to properly
function.
I suspect more people will be using one or the other, not both (i.e. JQuery
vs. Prototype), therefore an easy way to pick and choose would be nice.
b. When using any app context other than "/", the assets URLs are incorrect,
therefore Bootstrap not properly loaded. Do I need a configuration for this?
I noticed the change in tapestry.asset-path-prefix in the release notes, but
not sure if this is causing some problems.
That's it for now...
Thanks and looking forward to the official alpha release!
/Serge
