Ignition Early Access

  1. The behavior you unexpectedly encountered: Button Navigation didn’t do anything.

  2. The behavior you were expecting to see: When I click the button to navigate, that the views would swap.

  3. A list of the steps you took that exposed the issue:
    Attempted with several buttons, checked the console for any helpful info. Console showed:09:56:00.904 [Browser Events Thread] INFO Perspective.Designer.BrowserConsole - Navigation action triggered from component at address path 0,5
    09:56:02.456 [Browser Events Thread] INFO Perspective.Designer.BrowserConsole - Navigation action triggered from component at address path 0,4
    09:56:03.704 [Browser Events Thread] INFO Perspective.Designer.BrowserConsole - Navigation action triggered from component at address path 0,1

  4. A list of helpful information about the situation you were in, such as:
    Ignition is the nightly build as of 08:00 MST 11-12-2018
    Browser is the current Chrome
    Java is 1.8.0_191

Unfortunately, Perspective navigation as an action is something that just can not be done in the Designer, and tinkering/testing those scripts should be done in a full-fledged browser.

The Link component is similar in that 80% of use cases for the Link component will NOT work in the Designer, but will work in an actual Session.

For example, how would the Designer open an additional tab if your Link.props.target value is “tab”?
