CSS file issue

Thanks for reporting an issue! Spend 60 seconds reading this...

======== TEMPLATE BUG FORM ========

Wappler Version : 2.2.5
Operating System : Windows 10

Expected behavior

What do you think should happen?

When I make a modification in the Design panel it create a new class and it should be added to the user CSS file even if the css file is not open in the editor.

Actual behavior

What actually happens?

Now I have to open the user CSS file in the editor so the modifications are added to the css user file.

How to reproduce

  1. I create a new project
  2. Attach the user css file
  3. Create a new page
  4. Put a new element on the page (let say a row)
  5. Add top padding of 20px on that row
  6. I see the modification in the design view (ok)
  7. It create a new css class in deisgn panel class like supposed to (image #1)
  8. BUT The new class is not added to the user CSS file (image #2)

Now with the css user file open in the editor:
I do the same steps as below but now the new class is added to the css file (image#3)

Note1: This is not happening with older project (before 2.2.4 or 2.2.5)

Note2: After around 30 minutes of work I have to close/open Wappler because it stop saving the user css file.

Do you have experimental features turned on or off? Try turning it on/off and see if that makes a difference.

Thank you Patrick for the quick reply.

Experimental features was turned on.

So I turned it off (and user css file is not open in editor) and now it is somehow the opposite problem: Now the modifications I make in design panel does indeed reflect in the style panel but it does not modifiy the actuel design, for example I changed the padding of some element and nothing happen in the design view.

But when the user css file is open in editor the changes does work.well.

Hello @Webjack357. Thanks for this thread. I am having the same issue since I updated to 2.2.5 last week. When I add or edit a new style the custom css file is not updated, but when it is opened the changes are added to it as well.

I think we identified the problem and it should be fixed in today’s Wappler update. Let us know if the problem still persists after the update.
