UIExtension does nor recieve custom actions from server...?

[rsoika]

I have implemented an UIExtension in a feature module. The UIExtension implements an IActionHandler to handle different kind of actions. But an action send by the server to the client is never received by my UIExtension (IActionHandler) for some reasons....?

This seems to be only for Server Actions. Other custom client Actions are received and handled as expected.

The implementation of the UIExtension looks like this:

@injectable()
export class BPMNPropertyPanel extends AbstractUIExtension implements IDiagramStartup, ISelectionListener, IActionHandler {
 ...
  handle(action: Action): ICommand | Action | void {
        console.log(' === handle action: ' + action.kind);
  }
  ...
}

The UIExtension is defined in a Feature Module where I register the Action Handler like this:

export const BPMNPropertyModule = new FeatureModule((bind, unbind, isBound, rebind) => {
    bind(BPMNPropertyPanel).toSelf().inSingletonScope();
    bind(TYPES.IUIExtension).toService(BPMNPropertyPanel);
    .....
    configureActionHandler({ bind, isBound }, BPMNPropertyPanelUpdateAction.KIND, BPMNPropertyPanel);
});

export {
   ....
    BPMNPropertyPanel,
    BPMNPropertyPanelUpdateAction
} from './bpmn-property-panel';

And finally I register my Feature Module in the initializeDiagramContainer method of my DiagramModule

export function initializeBPMNDiagramContainer(container: Container,
    ...containerConfiguration: ContainerConfiguration): Container {
    return initializeDiagramContainer(container, bpmnDiagramModule, helperLineModule, BPMNPropertyModule, ...containerConfiguration);
}

From my debug code id looks like my UIExtension inside my feature module is never registered as an ActionHandler for my custom action

ok, I found the problem. It had nothing to do with the Feature Module.
The reason was that I created my action on the server with:

actionDispatcher.dispatchAfterNextUpdate(new BPMNPropertyPanelUpdateAction());

I solved the problem by replacing the call with:

actionDispatcher.dispatch(new BPMNPropertyPanelUpdateAction());

This was some code fragment form my earlier implementation with GLSP 1.x. Maybe things have changed in my code base and now in my current context it seems not longer to be useful to call dispatchAfterNextUpdate. I guess there was somewhere a UpdateModelAction in my code before that I removed during the migration to GLSP 2.x
