Random spacing issues and error messages in Renderer

[huip-ims]

@anthonypetersen Hi Tony, We were testing the Module 2 Spanish markdown in the renderer on Friday and today, and we noticed some random spacing issues and error messages popping up.

In the first image below, you can see the following:

• Text boxes now have "Example: …" in gray. However, the 2nd text box has "Example: sum(isDefined". Is this normal?
• Also, some line breaks are not recognized thus causing random spacing issues which weren't present before (i.e, "O, si le es más fácil recordar en qué año, anótelo aquí:" is now not on a separate line.).
• I'm also seeing random error messages now popping up as shown in red text in the same image, so it looks like some functions that worked previously are now not working. Do you know what may be causing these issues?

In the 2nd image below, it looks like grid row & column headers are now in bold. Also, in some grids, the selection buttons on each row are not aligned. Are these normal and recently added?

Currently, we cannot move forward with our markdown testing in the renderer until these issues are resolved. Could you please help us look into these issues in the renderer?

Thanks,
Pete

@huip-ims can you please provide the markdown you are testing with?

@anthonypetersen Tony - attached is the Spanish Module 2 markdown in testing.

This table (though not the same) looks good in chrome, does it look the same for you? What browser are you using?

[huip-ims]

@danielruss @anthonypetersen Daniel - We're using Chrome as well. In your screenshot, although the selection buttons on each row are aligned, the column headers are overwriting each other. In ours, the column headers display correctly, but the selection buttons are not.

@JoeArmani I cannot exactly reproduce this error. I want to say this is related to the table view. Have you seen any cases where this happens. Maybe we could add some CSS that centers the text vertically in a TD (if there is not a center-vertically, look into margin-top: auto; margin-bottom: auto.

Also, quest uses bootstrap, so we use bootstrap table https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/content/tables/#vertical-alignment

let me know what you think.

@danielruss I agree; it's related to the table view. I have not seen the misaligned vertical spacing, but Aileen and I found an issue with the rendering of this Module 2 table yesterday (this same 11-column table). The click targets aren't all accessible on a narrower screen for a screen reader, either. I'm actively looking into this.

Let me know if you any help from me.

Hi @danielruss, I have a PR in to address:

• Responsive sizing for the grids.
• Improved accessible targeting for the grids.
• Grid misalignment in renderer should be fixed.
• Handle placeholder for all isDefined min & max numeric values.

I'm unclear on the errors in the renderer. Here's what I found:
I tested the IMS Spanish code on the current branch and backtested it on earlier commits on the main branch with what appearred to be the same results each time (I was trying to see if something had broken in the process).
Tested the current one
This one: 3e0b2bf
And this one: d459d25
•Results appearred to be the same each time with the sum(isDefined) error.
•Then I found the sum(isDefined) function usage in module1, tested it, and it worked well.
•I traced through evaluateCondition() in the renderer, but I’m not familiar with that part of the app, so I’m not sure what we’re looking for. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Just FYI, I’m OOO on a site visit today but I’ll be back tomorrow.

I was able to load this module2_ES.txt survey into the PWA. Here's a side-by-side logging comparison with additional logs added.

Here's what's happening:
In the PWA, we have context from the previous results object

We don't have this context in the renderer. When replaceValue gets called, it looks to those previous results to swap out the variable for the value

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the process (PWA on the left, with context and renderer on the right without context)

So, to make this work in the renderer, we could supply default values for those variables that are passed in when context exists.
Here are the context values we set in the PWA:
firstName age AGE ...other values are CIDs for module numbers (not important in the renderer IMO).
