uuid() method getting overridden in QtWebView preventing firing of events

[pdelanauze]

Seems like the this.uuid() sometimes never gets called under certain environments. Specifically with QT 4.6 webkit. Seems like that method is hidden by some core related javascript.

what happens is that the namespace property of the application receives an object when it should retrieve a uuid string, causing the triggering phase to fail when it is called.

A simple renaming of the .uuid method would do the trick As a temporary solution i've replaced the method call to uuid() in the constructor of the application with the actual contents of that method.

Been scratching my head for 3 days on this issue. Glad i found a temporary fix!

Context is as follows:

• maemo5 scratchbox
• phonegap maemo ( thanks @jtoivola )
• sammyjs ( 0.5.3 )
• some jquery libs and more...

You'll want to say that my other libs is what's overriding the .uuid() method, but that's not the case, given that the application works on every browser i've tested it on, only the hybrid QtWebView that failed.

Cheers @quirkey and others for an awesome library! Truly amazing!

sammy.js:313

this.namespace = (new Date()).getTime() + '-' + parseInt(Math.random() * 1000, 10);

Nice detective work!

i had to do it, theres no building RIA without sammy ! ;)

Hey @pdelanauze - is it seriously because of the name of the method? What if it was just called .appID()?

Thanks for testing/discovering this doozy!

I'll test out the integration of .appID() hopefully tomorrow.

So I realized that the uuid() method is only used in a single place. I removed it, and saved a couple lines of code. Let me know if this fixes your issue: http://github.com/quirkey/sammy/commit/9f69c8492831b435e510d075422de5596214f949
