Application.url is undefined

[pashminakazi]

Hi,
I am debugging my application.mxml file in visual studio code and file launched on firefox on this url
http://localhost:8080/SHMA/index.html
but the debug console have a TypeError
TypeError: this.url is undefined

1. our shmApplication is extending mx:Application,
2. Opening and Closing tag of application.mxml is shmApplication
   we use this.url in application.mxml
   why url is undefined
   is some functionality related to url is missing in mx:Application file?

Yes, if you look at mx/core/Application.as, you can see that the "get url()" won't return anything. I would recommend adding a COMPILE::JS block with the code that will return the url.

I have added get url property in COMPILE::JS block of class mx.core.Application.as
But same TypeError
TypeError: this.url is undefined

What code did you add? What is the stack trace?

Also, make sure you delete your bin/js-debug folder when changing framework classes. The compiler will not replace existing files with new ones.

Stack Trace:

unreachable code after return statement SystemManager.js:196
SyntaxError: expected expression, got ','
invalidateParentSizeAndDisplayList not implemented Language.js:238
invalidateParentSizeAndDisplayList not implemented Language.js:238
unreachable code after return statement SystemManager.js:196
TypeError: this.url is undefined Application.js:54

do you want me to return my actual url in compile js block in mx:Application file?

[aharui]

You should implement the correct general way to return the url for anyone who uses mx:Application and commit that change to the repo. I think it would be:

COMPILE::JS
{
return location.href;
}

What is code is at Application.js line 54? What you provided above is the console output, not a call stack.

Again, make sure you have deleted your bin/js-debug folder before re-compiling the application. I have to stop working for tonight.
