Template Creation is not working properly with HotDesing

[DevTKSS]

Current behavior

The Generator is not doing e.g. DataTemplate or ControlTemplate in some resources or even in tag of the control itself.
The created things are added INSIDE other elements which naturally resulting in not longer working properly if happening.
Not clear what I mean? See this video made from exactly what I am expirencing happening:

Unbenanntes.Video.Mit.Clipchamp.erstellt.4.mp4

It is not even telling, that it has produced problems only the "no changes to be applyed" which is not at all the case XD

Expected behavior

Maybe some DataTemplate in HeaderTemplate like it was told, or even in the resources via x:Key, also possible way to do.

Which tool(s) are affected?

No response

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

See the video attached in the current behaviour

Workaround

you can use it, but be aware, that you will have to sort the propertys added afterwards to the correct place (okay, maybe just do not create templates with it at this point, saves nerves ;) )

Affected platforms

Desktop (Skia)

Uno.Sdk version

5.5.54

IDE used

Visual Studio 2022

IDE version

17.12.3

Uno Platform Extension version

1.0

Relevant plugins

No response

Anything else we need to know?

I did delete some stackpanels which has been duplicated added (I did not see it did add them already, not tool fault) before which resulted in a known issue #29 and can a starting source of this issue be, which started to confuse the tool to finally lead to this.

@DevTKSS template creation is being updated to be more reliable. You can check out the latest uno.sdk (dev) version to see how it is evolving.

[DevTKSS]

@nickrandolph may you could please explain what exactly you do mean with "dev" prefix? Not seen anything like this in the versioning til now and for doing as requested I need to know this from you

[nickrandolph]

In global.json you can set the uno.sdk version number. Normally this would be set to a stable version number (eg 5.5.56). If you want to try out the latest "dev" version (ie a prerelease version) you can update the uno.sdk to the latest version listed on nuget.org (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Uno.Sdk) which at this time is 5.6.0-dev.298

[DevTKSS]

Not solved, but could maybe be parially resulting of same souce like #29 with the deleting issue. Would maybe review this issue here again if that one is fixed?

@nickrandolph tryed NavigationView.HeaderTemplate DataTemplate Createion with 5.6.0-dev.298
getting this output:

warn: Uno.UI.HotDesign.Client.AppUpdater[0]
      Failed to SET local property: object not found at path.

and everything it did add:

          <NavigationView.HeaderTemplate>
              <DataTemplate>
                  <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto,Auto">
                    <AppBarButton />
                    <Image />
                  </Grid>
              </DataTemplate>
          </NavigationView.HeaderTemplate>

tryed to add different things:

• Navigation like Request but also Region
• Image Source from UnoImage in assets
• Command Bound to MainViewModel which was visible in the Bindings Panel in Studio
• Image Position in the Grid -> Column 1 would have been the correct place

the toastMessage I got when it tryed to update was something with readonly list, but I am not quick enough to catch this on video, sorry...

[nickrandolph]

@carldebilly can you confirm that with the latest changes to templates that this has been addressed

[agneszitte]

Hi @DevTKSS !

Could you confirm if you're still encountering this issue with the latest Uno Platform Visual Studio Extension version 5.6.40.64 and latest Uno.Sdk 5.6.45?

These versions were released alongside our latest Hot Design Public Beta announcement.

Thanks! 😊

[DevTKSS]

@agneszitte I wanted to check yesterday after hearing the announcement on discord, but after using the configuration arguments like --skip on uno-check for a test of the available arguments I am now running into issue with it because it keeps skipping...

Uno Platform Check.txt

checked the presets for studio to see if those are possibly influencing the things studio needs and would tell they should not. could you check if this assumtion is right or if those could cause issues with it? runned dotnet new install uno.templates and provided check and updated the extension alongside with visual studio itself, so beside those checks should everything be up to date...

before this update I have had still issues, so lets have a look with the update...
