## Properties Panel Element Detection Issue (Fixed)
|
|
|
|
### Problem
|
|
The properties panel had timing issues detecting rendered elements because:
|
|
1. Elements are rendered asynchronously via lit's `render()` function in the dashboard component
|
|
2. The properties panel tried to find elements immediately without waiting for render completion
|
|
3. Element search only looked at direct children of the viewport, missing nested elements or those inside shadow DOM
|
|
|
|
### Solution Implemented
|
|
1. Added a 100ms initial delay to allow render completion
|
|
2. Implemented recursive element search that:
|
|
- Searches through nested children up to 5 levels deep
|
|
- Checks shadow roots of elements
|
|
- Handles complex DOM structures
|
|
3. Added retry mechanism with up to 5 attempts (200ms between retries)
|
|
4. Improved error messages to show retry count
|
|
|
|
### Code Flow
|
|
1. Dashboard renders element demo into viewport using `render(anonItem.demo(), viewport)`
|
|
2. Properties panel waits, then searches recursively for the element instance
|
|
3. If not found, retries with delays to handle async rendering
|
|
4. Once found, extracts and displays element properties |
