Adding Elemental to GWT

Question

I have a GWT maven multi module project. It runs fine with mvn gwt:run - but when I add in <inherits name='elemental.Elemental'/> to the gwt.xml file, I get the error below.

Key point appears to be something in JSNI breaking on traversal?

    Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 13, Size: 13

    at com.google.gwt.dev.shell.Jsni$JsSourceGenWithJsniIdentFixup.visit(Jsni.java:177)  

I tried debugging it but I can't seem to track down anything. Any ideas?

Answer 1

This is a known issue; for now you'll have to use SuperDevMode if you use Elemental.

Answer 2

Seem there is something in elemental.Elemental which can not be compiled by the GWTJS compiler. Since Elemental is experimental things like this can happen...
