Register Javascript 1.7 inline

[ptmr.io]

Hi,

 

I want to register a Javascript file within an module by using registerJavascript(). While using it with inline = false, everything works fine. However I want it to be inlined, so I use inline = true and the debug tool throws an error:

 

Are inline .js files handled different? What's my error?

 

 

Warning: file_get_contents(/modules/xxx/js/cookieconsent.inline.js): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

public function hookActionFrontControllerSetMedia( $params ) {

...

$this->context->controller->registerJavascript(
        'cookieconsentinline',
        'modules/' . $this->name . '/js/cookieconsent.inline.js', [
            'position' => 'bottom',
            'inline' => true,
            'priority' => 100,
        ]
    );

...

}

Is it this?

/modules/xxx/js/cookieconsent.inline.js

 

Or is it this?

/modules/xxx/views/js/cookieconsent.inline.js

[ptmr.io]

/modules/xxx/js/cookieconsent.inline.js

 

The file location itself is correct, as it loads the file with inline => false correctly.

 

Is thr views Subfolder required?

if you are going to add the module to the PS addons store, they will require that you place your media assets in specific folders.  However it is not required for the functionality to work properly.

 

The warning is pretty clear though, the standard php function 'file_get_contents' is not able to locate that file.  I'm not sure if that is a Prestashop issue at all

Warning: file_get_contents(/modules/xxx/js/cookieconsent.inline.js): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Perhaps create a simple php script that attempts to open the javascript file using the same approach as PS, and see what happens.

Thanks, however:

1. calling file_get_contents works when called directly. The file definitly exists and will be included when inline => false
2. Provinding the full path does not show an error, however it also doesn't show the javascript code at all in the source code with inline => true:

_PS_MODULE_DIR_ . $this->name . '/js/cookieconsent.inline.js'

So, what could be the problem?

After debugging a while, I found that $this->getPathFromUri($fullPath) in AbstractAssetManager.php returns false if one uses an absolute path (like _PS_MODULE_DIR_) and therefore no errors are displayed, the line is simply ignored.

 

However using the correct relative path, file_exists() returns true, but in JavascriptManager.php the corresponding file_get_contents returns false which causes the error. 

 

on can fix this by changing

file_get_contents($item['path']);

to file_get_contents(_PS_ROOT_DIR_ . $item['path']);

in JavascriptManager.php I guess it's a bug.

I would suggest either reporting the issue to PS on their forge so they can research and fix, or committing the change to their github so the change can be merged into a future release.

this is an old post, but the problem is still present.

I think is a mistake. $Item [ 'path'] instead of $item['uri'] would be the right

try to use

'server' => 'remote'

like this

public function hookActionFrontControllerSetMedia($params)
    {
        $this->context->controller->registerJavascript(
            'mymodule-javascript',
            $this->_path.'views/js/mymodule.js',
            [
                'position' => 'bottom',
                'inline' => true,
                'priority' => 1000,
                'server' => 'remote'
            ]
        );
    }
