Importing with unsaved Sketch file in background

[benjamindenboer]

When trying to import a saved, active file while having an unsaved document in the background, Sketch and Framer both throw errors and the import fails.

Not necessarily a big issue. But it should be possible to import a valid, saved and active document regardless of what documents you have opened in the background.

Can't reproduce here, is this still an issue, @benjaminnathan and @koenbok?

Yes this is actually a Sketch issue. Repro:

• Make new document
• Open existing document
• Focus on new document
• Minimize new document
• Import in Framer

You now get a bunch of warnings. Apparently Sketch still thinks the minimized document is the frontmost one.

I think that's actually a new issue in Sketch (context.document points to the wrong thing under some circumstances, like following the steps you outlined) and is technically not related to save state. Anyway, we're about to fix it so those steps are really handy to reproduce the issue : )

This is fixed in Sketch 3.4.2 15853 (a beta is coming out shortly). I'll leave this open until you can confirm the fix : )

Ping @benjaminnathan and @koenbok: did you have a chance to try the latest Sketch beta? I'd love to confirm this issue has been fixed for good : )

[koenbok]

I think I just saw this again :-/

Basically Sketch still seems confused if:

• It's in the background OR
• Some docs are minimized
