This question was created in reference to: [Using GlobalInvalidation with SCarouselWidget Immediately [Content removed]
We recently enabled Slate Global Invalidation in our project and immediately began encountering assertion failures due to mismatched parents. The issue appears to be specifically triggered when using the
CommonWidgetCarousel component. I noticed another post describing the same problem, but it was closed without a clear resolution or fix.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Enable CommonUI Plugin
2. Create a widget with a Common Carousel Widget and place a single widget (image, button, etc) as a child of it
3. Put the widget somewhere it can be accessed
4. Make a packaged build
5. Enable Global Invalidation via Slate.EnableGlobalInvalidation 1
6. Open the widget
7. You assert with message:
NewWidget.GetParentWidget().Get() == &Widget
in SlateInvalidationWidgetList.cpp
After investigating, I found that this issue was fixed in version 5.6 with CL #36314240. I’ve cherry-picked the change, and it resolved the problem. For your information, this thread can be closed.
Hi [mention removed],
Thanks for following up. Glad to hear this has been fixed. I’ll go ahead and close this case now.
Best,
Francisco
