Hi,
I use a quite standard Phoenix project and has recently just added a small js sort function for a table. Every now and then it works perfectly well but as soon as I start to make changes the whole thing turns into a lottery (with many loosers) where it at any given change will just stop working and then take ages to get back on line.
In essence it does this:
import { sortFunctions } from "./sort.js"
Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("sortButton")).forEach(e =>
e.addEventListener('click', () =>
{
sortFunctions.sortTableByColumn(findSortParent(e), e.dataset.sortColumn);
}, false)
);
An example is when I was modifying the findSortParent function and added
console.log(element.parentElement);
It all stops working and says
Error: Cannot find module ‘phoenix_html’ from ‘js/app.js’
I commented the entire line. The view reloads. Nothing works, the code is not in app.js and there is no error message of any kind.
I add this (which clearly has nothing to do with it) to the method
console.warn('test');
It all works fine again.
I remove the console.warn and I get back to
Error: Cannot find module ‘phoenix_html’ from ‘js/app.js’
It has now taken me two hours to add a simple sort and it drives me nuts. I guess something is fishy with the merge/build of the app.js but I still have not been able to figure out what triggers what. The most annoying part is that there seem to be no connection between weather the js works or not.
I have not touched the brunch-config.js and have use no node modules.
Can anyone please suggest where to aim my troubleshooting.
