I'm just getting started with Widget development & the developer mode looks ideal for us being able to hook in version control & enable my team to work on widget development together. I've enabled it on my local PC (validated by seeing a Development option in the admin page);
I've got a few questions;
- If I find a default widget in the filesystem & make a change, that change is only visible in Widget Studio if I clear the app caches. Is that expected behaviour, or should the cache clear be automatic?
- When I make a change to a default widget via Widget Studio, the change isn't made to the files on disk (even after Publishing changes). Is that expected behaviour?
- When I make a change via Widget Studio & don't publish staged changes, I expected to be able to see my change in effect on pages where the widget was placed, but I don't, I only see the change when I publish changes.
- Maybe I'm meant to use the Preview option, but when I do that it pops up a message saying 'There are no pages configured to render this widget', which isn't correct, I can see that widget on a forum page and it has my previous edits applied to it.
The widget I picked on was 'Forums - Details', which is an easy change to validate on the site.
