Issue with running master with Telerik-UI controls - TypeError for listview.js

[bradmartin]

Downloaded the .zip folder of groceries master then ran 'tns-install', made sure the platform was added, and then 'tns build android'. All went great and I installed the .apk. Everytime I have a successful login it crashes, it has crashed on a device and through appetize.io. The forgot password works as I just received my email.

I've debugged all of the login.js and it gets to the navigate("views/list/list") and crashes everytime. With @tjvantoll credentials and an account I've created.

I've also added the recyclerview to the build.gradle file, same result.

I changed the .mainModule = "views/list/list" to determine the cause.

The stacktrace: Cannot read property 'extend' of undefined. Which traces to nativescript-telerik-ui/listview/listview.js:72:3.

Tried removing and adding the platform back in with no luck.

I've copied over a version (working in another app) of telerik-ui into the tns_modules folder to replace the ones from the master branch. This also had no effect with the same results.

Any idea on steps to try and resolve this?

Hey @bradmartin,

Sorry for the inconvenience. The problem here is probably that the build is not picking up on the build.gradle change. (I say that because I recognize the error.)

Could you try rm -rf platforms/android, tns platform add android, and then adding the line to build.gradle before you run the app for the first time?

We're using Gradle's incremental build feature to speed up builds, but the problem with that is that it occasionally caches things we'd prefer it didn't. Therefore, you have to make sure to add the recyclerview before you do anything else.

Let me know if that works for you. With 1.5 plugins will automatically be able to add lines into the build.gradle file, and this inconvenience should go away.

@tjvantoll - I didn't even think about caching issue. I'll try that later, now that you mentioned it, that's likely the issue. It's a habit of mine to get projects and just add platform and run without doing anything else. Thanks for the tip and I'll let you know if that fixes the issue later on when I have time to try.

Nailed it @tjvantoll - thanks for the heads up on the order or those steps being critical with the current version of {N}. Maybe this will save someone some trouble until the next release. 👍
