IFS Developer Studio - bugs

IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 24.2.0314 2024-10-13):

When creating fragment file with action implemented in java, java file is not created, there is no option to add file manually from IDE

@CgiTomasG Hi

Yes as you mentioned Impl.java file of fragment is not showing up in the tool navigator. We need to address that limitation in tool. Thanks for reporting the issue.

But you can generate the code and click on the generated Impl.java file of the fragment to view the file in the editor. At the same time you can navigate to the Impl.java file of the fragmane from the File Navigator as you can see in the following image.

Created this task to address the limitation https://ifsdev.atlassian.net/browse/DXDEV-4356

Thank you for quick reply, unfortunately this workaround doesn’t work for my IFS Developer Studio version (Build 24.2.0314 2024-10-13). 

Generating code from fragment doesn't work (clicking Generate does not cause any action)

When I add fragment to a projection and generate code from there, java file was not created

@CgiTomasG  even i tried from the version which you are using and it works. Yes fragment itself cannot generated code, you need to include the fragment into a projection and when u try to generated code for the fragment the respective dependent projection will get picked up as you have shown and then you need to generate. 

Then the impl.java for fragment also will get generated. 

Add the dependent projection into Application server, then the fragment also will get added.

Do some change into the fragment and try re-generate code.

Also check the notification panel at the bottom and see whether u get any exceptions

IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 24.2.0314 2024-10-13):

When using ‘Navigate to page Form’ page that opens behave strange, doesn't have all actions, commands etc.

What I notice, is when using ‘Navigate to page Form’  address contains ‘-Cust’:

address from navigator:

Hi ​@hamalk,

Any plans to fix these bugs in upcoming releases?

Create new Entity model works only once.

generate this error:

Next attempts do nothing.

Project 24R2 (24.2.2)

Cannot deploy new Entity in Cust layer - code generator is searching for core file, which of course does not exists. (it is even in brand new Custom component)

As workaround you have to really create emtpy core entity file.

​@hamalk,
My experience indicates that in IFS Developer Studio, some functionality may work well at the Core layer but occasionally does not at the Cust layer. Perhaps it would be beneficial to place some additional emphasis on testing the Cust layer to ensure consistent quality.

hi ​@Tomasz Grzebula 

Thanks for raising your concern, We have couple of tasks in our prioritized backlog in order to address some limitation related to cust layer files.

Hopefully these issues will get fixed once we addressed those issues.

Hi ​@hamalk 

I’m using IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 25.1.0657 2025-06-23), when I click Start Server I get this error:

I configured project for Service layer development acording to this doc:

Project Properties - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

In my "\nbproject\project.properties" I have:

 (...)

docker.config.repository=rnddockerdev.azurecr.io
docker.user=56295112-62e8-4b06-aa62-96aabdcbe33d

 (...)

But When I do ‘Start Server’ I get this error:

WARNING! Using --password via the CLI is insecure. Use --password-stdin.
Error response from daemon: Get "https://ifsclouddev.azurecr.io/v2/": dialing ifsclouddev.azurecr.io:443 container via direct connection because static system has no HTTPS proxy: connecting to ifsclouddev.azurecr.io:443: dial tcp: lookup ifsclouddev.azurecr.io: no such host
Docker credentials or container repository invalid!

hi ​@InfFilipV 

the registry ifsclouddev.azurecr.io is no longer available, and we’ve implemented a fix to replace it with a new working registry. This change will be available in the next tool release. You can get the latest Tool from develoer.ifs.com by end of next week.

Thank you, is there any chance to have new release installer shared before official release ? I have urgent fix to make in service layer.

 ​@InfFilipV  no way to share it, will try to release the soon asap. may be tomorrow. will let u know once released. 

Ok, thank you, btw. you mark the wrong user, I'm the one who asked the question ;)

​@CgiTomasG  Oops sorry :) Will let you know once the tool version is available to download

Hi ​@CgiTomasG,

The latest Developer Studio version 25.1.0691, which includes the fix for this issue, is now available for download on the Developer Portal.
