Making Custom Widgets

[narmstro2020]

What happened to the code for making custom widgets. The code in the documentation doesn't work anymore. Was this pulled. Is there a new way to make custom widgets. If so how.

Wouldn't widget UI-related stuff be in https://github.com/wpilibsuite/shuffleboard/? Also, what documentation are you referring to?

I'm not sure what documentation doesn't work any more. Can you be more specific?

If it's the frc-docs shuffleboard custom widget docs those were updated prior to this season in wpilibsuite/frc-docs#2014 any issues with those docs should be put in the frc-docs repository.

So I started to create the sample plug-in at the top of this page in my project, but none of the imports would resolve.Sent from my iPhoneOn May 16, 2023, at 2:53 PM, sciencewhiz ***@***.***> wrote: I'm not sure what documentation doesn't work any more.

Am I missing something. I've got a blank robot project and started a blank class file from the wpilib docs. But no imports are resolving.

[narmstro2020]

So for example. And sorry I forgot to mention those are the docs mentioned above.

This import

import edu.wpi.first.shuffleboard.api.data.ComplexData;

does not resolve.

[calcmogul]

Does it build though? Intellisense can lie sometimes ("imports not resolving" sounds like an intellisense thing). The class exists at https://github.com/wpilibsuite/shuffleboard/blob/main/api/src/main/java/edu/wpi/first/shuffleboard/api/data/ComplexData.java, which means your import should be correct.

So just to document my steps.

1. Creating a test robot project.
2. Created a java file called test plugin
3. Copied the sample plugin code at the top of https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/docs/software/dashboards/shuffleboard/custom-widgets/creating-plugins.html
4. imports not recognizing
5. Ran build
6. Did not build

[calcmogul]

The docs say to use a subdirectory of the shuffleboard repo for the build, not a robot project.

Hello.  I was wondering if this issue was fixed and if there was a build that incorporates it that I can apply to my testing.  Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 2, 2023, at 6:40 PM, Tyler Veness ***@***.***> wrote: Closed #5337 as completed. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

We tagged this issue as "support" because it was about proper usage of existing functionality. It's not clear that there was any bug in need of fixing. As I stated before, you should be using the shuffleboard repo to build plugins. Using a robot project to build them is an instance of "holding the tool wrong".

I’m sorry for the mixup on the reply email.  I couldn’t find the one for 5339.  I was wondering if 5339 was fixedSent from my iPhoneOn Aug 17, 2023, at 5:03 PM, Tyler Veness ***@***.***> wrote: We tagged this issue as "support" because it was about proper usage of existing functionality.
