solved Local inspector error when changing material properties

[inteja]

Locally I am getting the following error when trying to change any individual material's properties (e.g. switch a material to wireframe etc) in the inspector. Another example is say changing the alpha fraction - I can input the new value but pressing enter results in the same error and nothing happens and the alpha text input box doesn't disappear.

babylon.inspector.bundle.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'notifyObservers' of undefined
    at n.set [as value] (babylon.inspector.bundle.js:2)
    at n.validateInput (babylon.inspector.bundle.js:2)
    at n._validateInput (babylon.inspector.bundle.js:2)

This functionality seems to work fine in the playground and changing global scene properties (e.g. wireframe rendering) in my local environment also works fine.

Are you using the latest version (alpha 12?)

[inteja]

@Deltakosh I'm using latest stable babylonjs 3.2.0 npm package

[inteja]

The issues I'm experiencing locally don't seem to be evident in the playground with either stable 3.2.0 or 3.3.0 alpha 12

Could be something to do with my local environment or codebase ... but strange though. Not critical as I can easily do without this inspector functionality but I just thought it worth reporting.

You only need to make sure that your inspector version is aligned with your babylon.js version (which seems not to be the case :))

Hi @Deltakosh . I'm a bit confused. How could the inspector version be misaligned?

[inteja]

Arghhh .... I should have just RTFM ... I see now in docs that preview version of inspector is loaded by default from https://preview.babylonjs.com/inspector/babylon.inspector.bundle.js

Sorry I should have seen this before. Will try that.

Switched from default preview to cdn (stable) inspector:

BABYLON.DebugLayer.InspectorURL = 'https://cdn.babylonjs.com/inspector/babylon.inspector.bundle.js';

That worked. Thanks @Deltakosh

Perfect
