Custom Visual Developer console not logging

lmeyerov — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 07:47:02 GMT

In Firefox (Chrome does not work due to stricter unsigned TLS rules in OS X, despite setting keychain...), the developer console does not show calls to console.log/console.info, any ideas?

We're trying:

- update() calls console.info() + alert() as their first thing

- the test: use the Format panel UI to manually change some values, expect to see update()/enumerate called for our custom objects

- logExceptions decorator (calls console.error for update() exns): https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/How-to-Debug-while-developing-Custom-Visuals/m-p/187053#M5963

The plot thickens:

-- `Visual::constructor()` and `Visual::enumerateObjectInstances()` will print via console.info()

-- ... but `Visual::update()` will not print console.info() after changing a custom value in the Format panel

Also, we rolled back the API version to 3.8.3 to match the bar chart demo repo

So, the question comes: Why is update() not getting called / not calling console when Format pane custom text input values get manually changed by the Report editor user?

Sorry, I have little experience in this custom visual. @dm-p is very outstanding. Could you please help to solve this problem?
