Mockito unit test cases for QueryResultCallBack() - one of the Query inner class

I am writing test cases to meet the Sonar coverage for my code and I am not sure how to write test cases for the below piece of code →I am basically using Query class to fetch details from Cs using java management and am unable to write test cases for the below.  Query query = stack.contentType(CS_TYPE_PRODUCT).query();query = query.where(key, value);// I am more concerned about the below code to write test coverage query.find(new QueryResultsCallBack() { @Override public void onCompletion(ResponseType responseType, QueryResult queryresult, Error error) { if (error == null) { PcmMetadataAppDto pcmMeta = new PcmMetadataAppDto(); pcmMeta.setPcmEntryLocale(queryresult.getResultObjects().get(0).get("locale").toString()); pcmMeta.setPcmEntryUid(queryresult.getResultObjects().get(0).get("uid").toString()); pcmMeta.setPcmEntryVersion(queryresult.getResultObjects().get(0) .get("_version").toString()); pcmMetadataResponseAppDto.setPcmMetadata(pcmMeta);

Include refernce which creating Entry from java sdk

I am able to create new entries through my Spring boot app using Java Management SDK. How can I include the references to other content types while creating the entries? Example: I have a content type called Product with a reference to another content type Item. So when I will create a new Entry for a Product from Java SDK, how can I include the Item reference along with the product request? (I have already available Item entries inside the stack) Note: I have already worked with entry.includeReference() to get the reference data for another content type entry along with the main Content type Entry.

How do I ensure a custom text field is unique?

I’m creating an extension that will be a single line text field, and I’d like to ensure its value is unique. When setting a normal text field on a content type, I can have contentstack verify the field is unique before saving the entry by checking the box under properties > advanced > options > unique. When using a custom text field, I still see the “mandatory” and “non-localizable” options, but the unique option is gone. So how can I ensure the value entered is unique?

Can I create a field that's read-only for users in the UI?

I’m thinking about how I might clear the cache for a specific page on my CDN when an entry is changed. One idea is to update entries with the url of any page they are added to via a webhook that triggers when pages are updated.    For this, I’d want a field where I can add the url via API, but not via UI. I’ve seen documentation about metadata, but it seems metadata needs to be associated with an extension for some reason. I also don’t see a way of creating or reading metadata using the javascript sdk.   Can I create this kind of read only field? And if not, do you have any suggestions for how I might otherwise determine when to clear a cached page on my CDN?

Live Preview feature with GraphQL API

Hello! I say this (here): You can only use the Live Preview feature if your website is powered by Contentstack's REST APIs. Are there any plans to support the Live Preview feature with the GraphQL API? Or is there some kind of technical limitation why this is not supported?

I'm interested to know how other CS users translate content (with ease) across multiple locales

With multiple locales, it can sometimes be difficult to manage the translations. I’d be keen to know how other CS users handle writing, updating and loading content for multiple locales to the platform. Do you utilise the Marketplace widgets? Is there an internal export import routine built and ran to populate content or is this an opportunity to use ChatGPT to help translate the content directly in the content types and entries?

Unable to edit lengthy HTML

Hello,We are currently experiencing challenges with HTML when it becomes lengthy within our Rich Text Editor (RTE). We are currently only able to anchor our cursors part-way down the code. More specifically, we are unable to highlight HTML code towards the bottom of the editor as it places the cursor much closer to the top, jumping us up the block of code. This has rendered the bottom part of our HTML code uneditable.This appears to be happening on every browser.We would greatly appreciate any assistance or insight into this problem.Thank you,Luke

Do you create a separate content types for elements in modular block that won't be reused?

Hello dear all, Could you help me to figure out the following/any best practices you use, as well as, risks/limitations? Modular block/Global typesUse case: We are about to have 7 page content types which will include modular block. Each page has different modular block (with different set of elements/blocks in it). However, elements within the blocks will be repeating themselves (in terms of structure, not content).Question: What is the best practice to organize modular blocks?a) Should there be content types for each of the element that is in modular block if the content is not consider as repetitive for other pages? Could here be a good place to use global data?b) Should there be created a structure for each element of modular block + one block that is reference which will allow to reference any of allow content types for this block in case of reusable content  1.1. Should we consider any naming convention for the modular blocks? Thank you.

Style and script tags removed from HTML within RTE

Hello,We are currently experiencing challenges with preserving HTML code within our Rich Text Editor (RTE). Specifically, elements on our website that require CSS or JavaScript to be inserted into the HTML code section of the RTE, are causing issues. The code works as expected upon initial save, but when the page is edited, the RTE seems to strip out the ‘<style>’ or ‘<script>’ tags, resulting in plain text being displayed on the front-end.We would greatly appreciate any assistance or insight into this problem.Thank you,Luke

Relationships in the Content Type Visualizer app

I’ve noticed that relationships are not show in the CT Visualizer Dev dashboard (available with the Content Type Visualizer app) when these relationships are established through a global field or through a modular block.Does this mean that a relationship established through a global field is lesser in any way? Is there any difference in functionality when doing API calls, for example? I would expect these relationships to be exactly the same, and for them to also be displayed in the visualizer.What about a relationship established through a modular block? It would be great if these could still be displayed, but maybe with a dashed line instead of a solid line, to show that the possibility of a relationship more strictly depends on the entry than the model itself.

Content Models vs content Types

I find the seemingly interchangeable "content models" / "content types" terminology confusing.It might make more sense if "Content Models" were singular ("Content Model"):  It would make it clearer to users that their content model comprises one or more content types (of which global fields are one kind). In this case, there is a clear distinction: the content type is part of the content model but not vice versa.Or am I missing something?

What publishing and performance KPIs would be most useful to your team to see in a CMS?

This summer we made significant updates to Product Analytics and introduced new functionality for our Scale customers with Mission Control. Each of these tools provide valuable insights and data that can help teams keep track of things like app activity and utilization, cache rates, API requests and more.Now that we have laid this essential groundwork to begin providing a wealth of information to Contentstack users within the CMS, we want to hear what metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) would be most valuable for you to have at your fingertips.Do you want to know how long it takes someone to publish a particular type of content on average? What about a list of your most prolific publishers? Are there dots that we can help you connect by surfacing them within the CMS or making them available for export into your own custom reports?We have a lot of exciting and delightful updates on the horizon as we soon set out on our product roadmap for the next year, and we would love to kn

Proper use of AND Operator, respectively NOT

Help! The Marketplace app boilerplate code won't compile

I’ve tried following the instructions from the Contentstack website to install the Marketplace app boilerplate but the code won’t compile due to dependency issues. it looks like the boilerplate wants react 18 and venus-components 1.0.5 (which itself appears to need react 16 instead) It seems like maybe the devs have left dozens of unnecessary dependencies in the package.json file. Any ideas of how to get a bare-bones app running?
