Designer doesn't work - Pages, Themes, Controls empty

[Patrick_M_]

Hi,

after designing an coding for weeks, the designer has an issue.

In the Designer Tab:

• Pages an Subpages are not listed in PAGES
• no service methods are visible in the SERVICE METHODS
• CONTROLS has not Controls for Drag&Drop
• the Select in THEMES is empty
• INTERACTIVITY is empty
• DOM Tree View shows all elements, but if I select an Item, the Properties are not shown

Could you please give me some idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Patrick,

I created a blank bootstrap project and don't seem to face any of the issues described. Did you edit any of the app-designer .less files externally? Can you try creating a simpler version of your project and see if the issue persists? If it does, please post with with your reply so I can test it out. 

If you had updated to 1826 via the IDE, I think maybe reinstalling 1826 can help. Please save your global-settings.xdk file from your current installation and replace it with the one created in your new installation. Doing so will save you the effort of rebuilding your list of projects.

For information on what global-settings.xdk file is and where it can be found refer to: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/faqs/general#global-settings-file

Hmm.  If you switch to the Emulator and open the Console (the bug icon) you might be able to see an error.

But, perhaps the most expedient thing is to zip up the project and post it so we can see what's up.
