ObjectPage: async creation of block views

OpenUI5 version: 1.58.5

Browser/version (+device/version): Chrome 70

Hello,

Lately, I was checking my application with support assistant and found the following:

The XML view 'MyPageBlock' is loaded synchronous. Please take a look at the resolution 'Instantiating Views'.

I was trying to find something about the async block view creation in the BlockBase documentation, but didn’t find anything. So, I just tried to add an “async”: true to my block view definition:

		metadata: {
			views: {
				Expanded: {
					viewName: "MyBlockView",
					type: "XML",
					async: true
				} ...

It’s sorta helped - I don’t see this error anymore, but I found another issue - this.oParentBlock became undefined in the block’s controller.

Could you give me some advice on this or is it a bug?

Thanks!

Since https://github.com/SAP/openui5/commit/773800eb93677a66b43d21e51f091723cf1d45f6, the BlockBase creates views always asynchronously. And the oParentBlock is available in the onParentBlockModeChange handler of the controller.

return Controller.extend("...", {
  onParentBlockModeChange: function(sMode) {
    // this.oParentBlock is available here
  },
  // ...
});
