selectValues extension API do not unselect last selected value

[yblake]

Hi,

I use the following code to select / unselect dimension values from D3 click event :

function clickValue(d,i) {  
  var dim = 0, value = d.dimensionid;  
  self.selectValues( dim, [value], true ); 
}

The dimensionid is populated from hypercube dimension value qElemNumber.

This was working well until Sense release 2.0.

Since release 2.0, unselecting the last selected value has no effect (it remains selected in the toolbar). However, a second click on the same value makes the unselection working...

So the first question is : Why does the selectValues extension API does'nt work when clicking once the last selected value ?

If I use a simple extension with jquery and "qv-activate" event it does work well. The second question is : How could we handle the "qv-activate" event within D3 ?

Replacing

.on("click", clickValue)

By

.on("qv-activate", clickValue)

doesn't work.

Thanks for any help

From your description it looks like your problem is with the event handling rather than the selectValues.

A first step would be to try to debug this. Put a breakpoint in the clickValue function and verify that it gets called when you expect it to.

If it does, verify that the parameters (dim and value) have the values you would expect.

Hope this helps

Hi Erik,

I would love so, but I've been debugging hardly prior to ask...

Putting some BreakPoint and Logging to console confirms that the selectValues method is called, and the parameters are consistent (the dim is always 0 and the value is the qElemNumber initially received from the hypercube).

Replacing extension API selectValues by backend API equivalent does solve this issue (but I prefer end user to use normal Qlik Sense behaviour, that is to be able to confirm or cancel his selections ).

Could you share your extension with me, and I'll take a look. This might be a bug.

Hi Erik,

You may find a sample extension and test application here :

If you click twice on the "iPhone" (or "Samsung") rectangle, you will notice that the second click doesn't unselect the dimension value.

Thanks for your support,

More dans one month later, I finally received :

"Dear yves,

The reported issue ID QLIK-37933 has been confirmed by R&D as a bug.

Due to uncertainties regarding potential related problems and program priorities, I cannot guarantee a fix date at this time but it will be fixed in the next releases of the product."

Then I lighted a candle, and did some incantations...

Hi,

I use the following code too and I have the same problem...

Did you find a solution?

Thanks,

Hi Bastien,

The issue has been submitted just two and a half month ago, so no answer at the moment, .

The issue ID QLIK-37933 is no more visible from my side on the new support portal, but support team announced "there may be some teething issues while the portal is made live".

Take care of your teeth
