widgetsInTemplate for dojox.dtl._DomTemplated widgets not working properly

[Michael Wu]

I created two widgets based on "dijit/_WidgetBase" and "dojox/dtl/_DomTemplated": WidgetA and WidgetB.

In WidgetA's templateString, WidgetB is defined declarative, and widgetsInTemplate is set to true.

When WidgetA is instantiated, is gives:

TypeError: this.domNode.parentNode is null.

The problem seems to be that WidgetB's srcNodeRef isn't being set by WidgetA's widgetsInTemplate parsing code.

Manually doing parser.parse() inside WidgetA's postCreate() works well.

Is this the same as #12644?

If not, please attach a test case

I am not sure if this is a duplicate of #12644 as I don't fully understand it. I've attached a test case (dojo-test-14841.zip) for my issue. Unzip all 3 files into a web server directory, you'll need to change dojoConfig.packages in index.html accordingly to your server path.

An online example could be access at: ​http://dev.witness24.com/~michael/dojo-test-case-14841/. Open with Firebug and you should see the

this.domNode.parentNode is null

error.

Thanks.

Duplicate of #11440.
thanks for the test case. now i can see that it's a duplicate of #11440 which also has a patch that should fix your issue. unfortunately that patch has been on that ticket for almost 2 years. draw your own conclusions about what that means regarding the level of support for dtl.

Hi neonstalwart, thanks for the pointer. I'll try the patch later.

Any reason that the patch of #11440 isn't merged? Any thing that I can do to help?
