We develop a module that add a component to Ignition. We program a deserializer in DesignerHook. Work’s ok in designer and client. V7.3.2. Recently upgrade version to 7.3.8. The client’s works OK. But when open the window that holds the component on the designer and saved it, then, open that window in staging client and throw this error: Unable to open window “Window”

It’s hard to say without knowing how your serializer works. It looks like you may have un-escaped XML serialized in the XML. Try this in the Designer: Shift-right click on the window while it is closed. This should give you the option to copy the XML source of the window to your clipboard. This should help give you a clue to what’s going on. You can post it here if you want and I can look at it as well. ---

I’ve being reviwing this issue and confirmed the method configureDeserializer in ClientModuleHook is never called on version 7.6.3. Seems to me that you have forgotten to consult custom module’s client hooks when configuring the XML serializer. In the Designer works just fine. ---

Yikes, it looks like you’re right! I’ve made a ticket to get this fixed, it should be in 7.6.4 ---

Ok, this’ll be in 7.6.4rc2
