Can't get setViewState to do anything, include throwing a parse error.

[svonmiller]

Greetings,

I'm using 70rC pro and passing a string to treegrid.setViewState doesn't seem to cause anything to happen. I've watched the developer console thinking I would see something, but nothing. So then I passed in a bogus string, expecting to see a parse error in the dev console, but nothing. I'm using the patch described in an earlier post for the header columns on treegrids, but if I remove that patch, that doesn't seem to help anything either. Any clues?

isc.TreeGrid.create({
	indentSize:2,
	cellHeight: 30,
	showConnectors:false,
	animateFolders:false,
	cellPadding:0,
    iconSize:1,
    nodeIcon:"[SKIN]transparent_spacer.gif",
    dataSource:GlobalNavDataSource,
    leaveScrollbarGap:false,
    showHeader:false,
    showOpenIcons:false,
    showClosedIcons:false,
    loadingDataMessage:"Loading menu...",
    loadDataOnDemand:false,
    showHeaderContextMenu:false,
    autoFitData:"vertical",
    autoFitMaxRecords:1000,
    autoFitMaxHeight:1000,
    ID:"CITreeGrid",
    height:100,
    width:panelWidth,
    overflow:"visible",
    autoFetchData:true,
    initialCriteria: {panel: 2},    
    autoDraw:false,
    cellClick: function (record, rowNum, colNum) {
         eval(record.target_page_href);
    }
})
//doesn't generate an error
CITreeGrid.setViewState("sfsdf");

//actual test produces no results
var test =  ({
    		selected:"[\r]", 
    		field:"[\r    {\r        name:\"nodeTitle\", \r        width:null\r    }\r]", 
    		sort:"({\r    fieldName:null, \r    sortDir:true\r})", 
    		open:"[\r    \"/7/8\", \r    \"/7/17/18\", \r    \"/7/17\", \r    \"/7\", \r    \"/\"\r]"
			});

CITreeGrid.setViewState(test);

Okay I see the parse error now for the bogus string I'm passing, I must have missed it. However, I don't get a parse error for the setviewState, and it's not changing anything in the treeGrid.

Here's additional log info if that helps:

Just had to hammer at it for a while. I'm not sure exactly how I got it working, or why it wasn't working, so I can't post much information about what the problem was. It was likely how I was treating the string in javascript (like an object, not a string).
