alice-teacher Alice Class & Methods Tabs Not Showing Up

[Donald Slater]

Lyndsey,
This is very unusual, and not something we have seen before… I am unable to recreate the problem here.

What version of Alice are you using?

What is you operating system, and what version of the OS?

TROUBLESHOOTING:

I assume that swim and sink are methods of the Scene class?

Are the students still able to use the procedures in their code (myFirstMethod)?

If you go to the Scene Editor (click on Setup Scene button in the Camera View window), and then return to the Code Editor, does the screen re-render (with the tabs) correctly?

Are the students able to click on and go to the tabs that are visible myFirstMethod and iniitializeEventListeners?

Are the student able to navigate to the sink and  swim methods by selecting them from the class menu (the yellow hexagon next to initializeEventListeners?)

Are the students able to create new procedures, and the tabs will then appear? If they do this, are they able to copy the code from the problematic procedures to the new procedures? Will the new procedures execute?

If you minimize the Alice Window in the OS and then reopen it, do the tabs appear?

If you save the project, quit Alice, and then restart Alice, does the problem reoccur?

If the students save their project and take the to a different machine to open them, does the problem re-occur?

Is it possible to re0install Alice n one of the machines to see if the problem still occurs?

Is it possible for you to send us one of the projects?

Please keep us posted…

All the best,
Don Slater

The method appears in the screen, but you can’t make adjustments within the class. The examples below show that the method appears, but there is no tab for the class or method. Is this a setting that may have gotten changed?
