WebAssembly and factory method

Elements 11.0.0.2673

Hi,

If I call a factory method on the JS side, e.g.

var obj = factory.CreateTestObject();

where

function Factory.CreateTestObject() : TestObject ;
begin
  Result := new TestObject();
end ;

then WASM fails with

Exception: RemObjects.Elements.System.ArgumentException: Unknown type for o

If I call the constructor directly (JS side) then everything’s fine

var obj = lib.TestObject();

It seems that there is a problem when a method which returns an object is called from JS.

Hmm. can you send us a complete test case for this?

Here you are.

wasm_factory.zip (645.8 KB)

Thanx!

For some reason Web\index.html is missing from the zip…

6

It is inside Bin\Debug\WebAssembly and the project is modified accordingly so it should start debugging if you hit Start.

Found it, and reproduced.

I’m testing Elements 11.0.0.2675 and the problem seems to remain somehow. It is no longer easily reproducible, I’ve tried with different combinations of objects, arguments and factory methods but to no success. However, my “big” project fails consistently with the following stack trace (I stripped the unnecessary parts):

Uncaught RuntimeError: unreachable executed
    res RemObjectsElements.js:267

The exception is still

Exception: RemObjects.Elements.System.ArgumentException: Unknown type for o

I’ll keep trying to find a test case.

Found it! There is a problem with inheritance. If the actual type is returned by the factory method then everything’s fine, if a base type is returned then it fails. See the attached test case.

A similar problem is with method arguments - if a method takes a base type as an argument and you pass a derived type you get the same exception.

Marc, could you provide an estimate on when this problem might be resolved? This one is critical for me. Also, if it’s done before Friday would it be possible to get a private build?

15

I’ll check with the team, but this has only been re-opened on Friday,…

Sure.
