Table Grid Dataset Component Sample

[John742]

I am trying to build my first Dataset component. I took th ecode from the Table Grid sample component to get started. That code however is not working. I am getting the following errors. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/sample-controls/table-grid-...)

I figured perhaps it was a capitalization error and changed it to below and get more errors. Anyone know what is going on here?

Hello,

Can you try with the following in attachment ?

[AllanDeCastro]

I tested my component and it looks like they are a problem with the getNamedReference().
Using this code:

                        console.log("CLick on :"+ entityReference.id);

                        let entityFormOptions = {

                            entityName: <string>entityReference.etn,

                            entityId: entityReference.id.toString(),

                            openInNewWindow: true

                        }

                        console.log("Object: "+entityFormOptions);

                        console.log("Object Etn : "+ <string>entityReference.etn);

                        console.log("Object Id: "+ entityReference.id.toString());

                        this._context.navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions);

                        console.log("Open :"+ entityReference.id);

So the etn properties returns an undefined value.

Did you find the solution for this ?

I am also facing the same issue

[John742]

Unfortunately, I did not.

I downloaded the latest samples and also refreshed the CLI using "PAC install latest" and was  able to build the control and see it in the test harness. 

Check the change in the latest code for the sample for the lines you pointed out as error 

 let entityFormOptions = { entityName: entityReference.etn!, entityId: entityReference.id.guid, };

I have install the latest CLI.

etn is still not available. Please see the attached screenshot.

@Bhuvita Can I jump in and add 3 screenshots instead of 1

This is sample typescript code - note no issues reported

this is the same code inside a chrome debug window

and here is confirmation that the current library that .etn is undefined in the current Western Europe (CRM4) region

It seems that there is an issue somewhere between the typescript library and type definitions and the library being served from within the organisation.

Now for the moment you can fix it by using

and in copy format

var entityReference=<any>currentRecord.getNamedReference();
let entityFormOptions={
    entityName: entityReference.etn || entityReference.LogicalName,
    entityId:entityReference.id
};

with confirmation here

But I wouldn't really want to be introducing hacks like this.

It's annoying that both Microsoft's document and Microsoft's Typescript Component Framework definitions say one thing while the actual production code says something else.

@ben-thompson 

yeah right now I am just ignoring the typescript like this.
