open (or switch to) a view with jArchi

[rchevallier]

Hi all,

My context: I have a script which go thru all the views of a model for some verification. When the view doesn't validate, the idea is the script stops and the view is opened and selected in the Archi UI to show to the user.

I don't find the verb to open/select a view in UI in the jArchi doc. Seems only opening a model in UI model tree is supported (model.openInUI(), model.setAsCurrent())

Any solution ?

Thanks

Hi, opening a View in the UI is not implemented in jArchi. You could open a feature request if you wish.

Thanks for the quick confirmation. I'll do it

I found this buried in one of my older scripts. Give it a try (replace view):

Code Select Expand

try {
    var method = Packages.com.archimatetool.script.dom.model.ArchimateDiagramModelProxy.class.getDeclaredMethod("getEObject");
    method.setAccessible(true);
    var v = method.invoke(view);
    Packages.com.archimatetool.editor.ui.services.EditorManager.openDiagramEditor(v);
} catch (e) {
    console.log("> Attempted to open view. ");
}

    console.log("> Attempted to open view. ");
}


Should work but mark it as "dangerous" since it accesses the underlying EObject. Note that it'll only work if the model that owns the view is open in Archi.

Thanks, works great, using it until the api evolves.
I understand it's unsupported and not recommended.
