2170 emulator truncating params in links

[Tony_J_]

After upgrading to Intel XDK v2170, the emulator truncates params in links.

I'm using Intel App Framework 2.2 and have been passing extra information via the url to panels.
For example:
<a href="#messages/c/xxx">

will load the messages panel and from there I can gather the "c" and "xxx" params

However, it seems like in v2170, the emulator will load the messages panel but the link will not have "#messages/c/xxx" part of it anymore.

So this was working with the prior version (1995)?

I'll let the responsible engineer know.

Yep, it worked in the prior version.

The responsible engineer is taking a look, but it's not clear what happened that might have caused this to fail. In the meantime, a more accurate way to test your apps is using the Debug tab:

p.s. Are you using the history object to retrieve the #ref data? There is another report that has a similar problem and it would appear that something about the simulated history object is the root of the problem. That is why I ask. If you are NOT using the history object, the problem is probably elsewhere.

Nope, I'm just using document.location

Thanks, I'll add to the bug report.
