Hi,
today I've played again with the style editor after the last fixes. No hard
crashes, much better experience, nice.
Compared to the CSS editor still available on 2.9.x there are still a few
significant regressions though, making
the usage less productive than it used to be:
- The CSS editor on submit converted the style to SLD, thus generating
visible user errors/feedback about the process. The current editor instead
does not that, and the preview occasionally is just a broken image, forcing
the editor to go hunt in the GeoServer logs for the actual error. I warmly
recommend to get the previous behavior back, it can be easily done without
any knowledge of the actual style type by calling "parse" on the
StyleHandler. This would also improve SLD own editing, as sometimes one
uses a filter function that does not exist, and formally, the style still
validates fine. I'd add this behavior at last to "apply", I'm not sure
about "submit", since in the past the editor allowed to save invalid
styles, it may be that someone wants to just save a invalid work in
progress for whatever reason (e.g., meeting, lunch break, general need to
get away from the computer)
- When hitting "apply" the entire page is reloaded and so is the
preview... this is highly disruptive when editing a multi-scale style, as
the preview is reset back to showing the entire layer. The CSS editor
submit button applies "in place" instead, keeping the map where it is, just
showing the new style (without requiring the editor to interact with it,
e.g., no moving or zooming required)
- As noted before, the screen space is not used in an optimal way, often
forcing to scroll up and down while editing and previewing
I've seen by mail that Torben agreed to open tickets for whatever residual
issue was left out to be addressed... but I don't see them yet in Jira.
Should I start opening some?
Cheers
Andrea
