I'm trying to write KDE4 plasmoid in JavaScript, but have not success. So, I need to get some data via HTTP and display it in Label. That's working well, but I need regular refresh (once in 10 seconds), it's not working.
My code:
inLabel = new Label();
var timer= new QTimer();
var job=0;
var fileContent="";
function onData(job, data){
if(data.length > 0){
var content = new String(data.valueOf());
fileContent += content;
}
}
function onFinished(job) {
inLabel.text=fileContent;
}
plasmoid.sizeChanged=function()
{
plasmoid.update();
}
timer.timeout.connect(getData);
timer.singleShot=false;
getData();
timer.start(10000);
function getData()
{
fileContent="";
job = plasmoid.getUrl("http://192.168.0.10/script.cgi");
job.data.connect(onData);
job.finished.connect(onFinished);
plasmoid.update();
}
It gets script once and does not refresh it after 10 seconds. Where is my mistake?
It is working just fine in here at least (running a recent build from git master), getData() is being called as expected. Can you see any errors in the console?
EDIT: The problem was that getUrl() explicitly sets NoReload for KIO::get() which causes it load data from cache instead of forcing a reload from the server. Solution was to add a query parameter to the URL in order to make it force reload it.
