When empty folders are sent to trash, they are not removed from the project list

[SusanRatiLane]

Describe the bug

When empty folders are selected on the project explorer and sent to trash, they still appear in the project list when the page is reloaded.

Affects

• Designer
• Blocks editor
• Projects Explorer
• Companion
• Compiled apps
• Buildserver
• Debugging
• Other... (please describe)

Expected behavior

Empty folders should be deleted. Currently, folders can't be restored from trash, though more sophisticated folder-trash handling could be a feature in the future.

Hi @SusanRatiLane, Could you please assign this issue to me? I'd like to start working on it.

Certainly. This should be a good starter task.

Hi @SusanRatiLane,

I'm encountering an issue where changes I make to the code are not being reflected on the server side. Here’s what I’ve been doing:

I followed the steps outlined in the Hot Reloading GWT Code with Super Dev Mode section of the README.

After clicking the "Dev Mode On" bookmarklet, a popup appears with a button to compile the code module.

I press the button, and the GWT CodeServer compiles the module incrementally.

However, after the compilation, instead of the expected result, I get a completely blank (white) page.

Environment Details:
OS: macOS
IDE: IntelliJ IDEA
Browser: Chrome
Server: Running locally
Is there something I might be missing in the setup or execution process? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You should start at the beginning of the Running the Server(s) section. You can skip "Running the build server," but you do need to follow "Running the main server" and "Accessing your local server".

Hot reloading is not necessary.

Hello @SusanRatiLane,

I'm working on resolving this issue, but I'm finding it quite challenging as it involves multiple files, which is a bit overwhelming. Could you please guide me or provide a concise roadmap to help me navigate through this?

I suspect the issue might lie in this folder:
src/com/google/appinventor/client/explorer/folder.

For reference, here's a related discussion:

Thank you!
