After starting the Mobile or Web Client demos in Firefox Quantum the following error show up.

Error: cannot enable cancellation after promises are in use

It would be useful to have a "back" event on a ViewContainer. The event should be mapped to the back button. When the back button is pressed the "back" event should be triggered. It could be platform depended (what about iOS?).

Consider the following modeling context: you have an event attached to a form ViewComponent with a navigation flow pointing towards a list ViewComponent.
If you establish a binding between a form parameter and a filter parameter of the list and then you delete the filter parameter of the list, the binding continue to be present even if the parameter does not exist anymore.

In attachment, a video demo of the possible unexpected behavior.

When you execute an undo operation on elements that involve ViewContainer with XOR, the undo operation remove the XOR (and consequently, all the others ViewContainer inside the XOR ViewContainer, lose their Default/Landmark properties).

@B3rn475 I've been studying the structure and behavior of ifmlEdit, in order to understand the entire flow of its operation, and despite the project being well organized and with very lean functions, it is so well structured that the abstraction of certain functionalities is not so easy. I have a hunch which files are responsible for the ifml transformation rules for the views code, but I would like to be more sure. If possible, could you explain to me or provide me with some kind of existing documentation related to this functionality. As I mentioned, I intend to add rules for generating interface test scripts for Cypress, but I need to understand as much as possible how the interfaces themselves are built based on a IFML model.

It would be awesome to have more examples to show the the users.

When I click try in browser , on the "web server" tab, no screen equivalent to the model is generated, while on the "web client" and "mobile" tabs this works normally.

In an attempt to drag a navigation flow, detaching it from an event and leaving it "dangling", the behavior is not possible (correct).
But if you execute ctrl + z twice (or cmd + z for mac) you get that the navigation-flow remains "dangling" (unforeseen behavior).

To the author,

IFML is already OMG standard modeling language, so to exchange data to another tools, the model should be able to saved into XMI file format. I hope that in the future this feature will be able to be implemented

The javascript console report:

Uncaught TypeError: a.position is not a function
at i. (almost-joint.min.js:formatted:167)
at v (backbone.min.js:1)
at p (backbone.min.js:1)
at c (backbone.min.js:1)

It seems to be a problem with almost-joint

Allow the user to disable active selection by clicking on background

Id generation in IFML2PCN transformations can produce colliding ids.

Simple example the id application is already used.

A complex example is using two actions called action and actionname-running-p, this will collide the main Place Chart of the second action with an inner Place of the first action.

Using pinch-to-zoom the page scrolls, but at the same time it zooms, it should be disabled.

Should the fix be done in IFMLEdit.org or in ALMoST-Joint?

When a user refreshes the page or closes it the model, and any change done to it is lost.
We should inform the users that they are going to loose them in this cases.

It should not be able to draw a DataFlow from a ViewComponent to an Action.

The only valid configuration are ViewComponent to ViewComponent.

It would be useful to have a "changed" event on each form that captures changes in the value of the fields.

When you generate a model, if you delete the id of a component and close the panel, and then you move to another component, then the component whose id is deleted is no longer clickable or editable. If afterwards you delete the id of another component, the second time the framework regenerates a correct id and manages the cancellation of the ID (the component is still clickable and modifiable).

id_bug.zip

The tool allows the user to connect two or more events to the same action.

We need to investigate if the IFML2CODE transformations may generate collisions of ids

The IFML standard doesn't allow chains of Actions.
The code generator doesn't support them either.
The editor should not allow them too.

When you drag and drop a new element from the sidebar towards the board, if you click and release the element without any movement outside the sidebar and then you re-click the same element and execute the drag and drop outside the sidebar, the element does not follow the mouse pointer, but is "hanging" in an apparently non-deterministic position of the board.

N.B.: the zip file in attachment contains a video demo to help in understing the problem. I hope you find it useful.

I tried to run the application for a research project that aims to generate automatic test scripts using the cypress tool, and when running the command "npm install" the dependencies are installed but gulp fails to compile the application. I'm using ubuntu linux 22.10 and I tried to run using the current LTS nodejs (18.x.x), I tried to update the dependencies to newer versions and even tried to install the 2020 LTS nodejs and still the failures persist. If possible @B3rn475 , could you try to update the project's dependencies to help me with this problem, thanks in advance.

Adding a DataFlow targeting a Form breaks the generated code

When a new View container pass over a navigation flow, the latter results in foreground, despite it should result under the new view container

At the moment the mock database in the generated/emulated code is not persisted.
After each run of the code generator it is restored to the default value.

It could be interesting to store the latest version of the database and preserve it after a model change.

Open questions:

1. Where should i store the database? (metadata field of the model?)
2. Could be interesting to edit the database from the model editor?
3. How can i share the database between the emulators? (check if they are consistent)
4. If I'm sharing the database between the emulators, how should I manage out of sync code?

Add the ability to undo an action and redo it.

Features:

• ctrl+z and ctrl+y support
• undo the entire changes done in the attributes editor
• clear the undo history after load

As reported in the title it is impossible to generate the PCN of the preloaded Example 12.
The error in the console is an object with the following message property: "fields with a merge policy with specials should always be objects"

In a big nested model it is possible to zoom to a particular area and not be able to pan the model, trying to do so will move the nested ViewContainers and change the model itself.

It should be able to pan a model from within ViewContainers.
