addSortHandler not working in vaadin8

[WilliamAnthony]

Vaadin 8.0.5 I used the following example code in vaadin7, but it's not working after upgrade to vaadin8

package com.nanosoft.nanolib.ui.extension.gridautoresize.client;

import com.google.gwt.user.client.*;
import com.vaadin.client.*;
import com.vaadin.client.extensions.*;
import com.vaadin.shared.ui.*;
import com.vaadin.client.widget.escalator.*;
import com.vaadin.client.widget.grid.sort.*;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
@Connect(com.nanosoft.nanolib.ui.extension.gridautoresize.gridAutoResize.class)
public class gridAutoResizeConnector extends AbstractExtensionConnector implements SortHandler<Object> {
    private com.vaadin.client.widgets.Grid<Object> _grid;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    protected void extend(ServerConnector target) {
        _grid = (com.vaadin.client.widgets.Grid<Object>) ((ComponentConnector) target).getWidget();

        _grid.addSortHandler(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void sort(SortEvent<Object> event) {
        _grid.recalculateColumnWidths();
    }
}

the sort method is not executed.

The only potential issue I noticed is that now the client side Grid is effectively of type Grid<JsonObject> rather than Grid<Object>, which might or might not be related to this.

Otherwise, I'd recommend trying to debug the client side class using SuperDevMode and Chrome (and making sure assertions are enabled). That way, you can put a breakpoint in both methods and see if they are called at appropriate times.

Hello there!

It looks like this issue hasn't progressed lately. There are so many issues that we just can't deal them all within a reasonable timeframe.

There are a couple of things you could help to get things rolling on this issue (this is an automated message, so expect that some of these are already in use):

• Check if the issue is still valid for the latest version. There are dozens of duplicates in our issue tracker, so it is possible that the issue is already tackled. If it appears to be fixed, close the issue, otherwise report to the issue that it is still valid.
• Provide more details how to reproduce the issue.
• Explain why it is important to get this issue fixed and politely draw others attention to it e.g. via the forum or social media.
• Add a reduced test case about the issue, so it is easier for somebody to start working on a solution.
• Try fixing the issue yourself and create a pull request that contains the test case and/or a fix for it. Handling the pull requests is the top priority for the core team.
• If the issue is clearly a bug, use the Warranty in your Vaadin subscription to raise its priority.

Thanks again for your contributions! Even though we haven't been able to get this issue fixed, we hope you to report your findings and enhancement ideas in the future too!
