DevTools "add column" button reported as not working

[tabacitu]

Fabiano just reported on email that "I updated the packages, however there is now an issue with the add model in DevTools. The add column is not adding. It’s not working. What else could be wrong with?"

@pxpm can you please investigate?

Sure thing @tabacitu , unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

I think there must be some JS error.

I've just freshly installed devtools, and I seen an important thing missing in the screenshot you provided, that I have on mine:

So when the type of column change, those inputs are dynamically created. In the provided screenshot I can see that the JS didn't trigger those changes, so in Developer Console the must be some JS error logged.

Possible solutions include:

• republish the backpack assets after the composer update with php artisan backpack:publish-assets
• Hard Reload & Clear Cache in browser

Let me know

Ugh looks like Livewire isn't installed. Right @pxpm ?

Indeed @tabacitu that seems to be the case. Can you do a composer why livewire/livewire @fabianotrentin ? Just to make sure if it's the package missing, or it's an error in the loading of scripts.

Hi @pxpm
The command returns the following message:
backpack/devtools 1.3.0 requires livewire/livewire (^2.4)

[pxpm]

@fabianotrentin there must be some issue with your setup then, and the livewire scripts are not beeing loaded.

I see that your url looks like localhost/**public**/admin, when usually it should be only localhost/admin without the public part, because that public part should be handled by your php server using rewrite rules in the configuration.

I think you probably need to setup a vhost (say http://test.local) that points to your www/test/public directory.

Maybe this could help you: https://medium.com/@ajtech.mubasheer/configure-a-virtual-host-for-laravel-project-in-xampp-for-windows-10-d3f0068e7e1b

Also, can you check the Network tab on developer console and see where the request to load livewire (that returns 404) is pointing to ?

Cheers

@pxpm it seems to be working smoothly now. Thanks.
