Super Method Call Not Working

No problem reproducing it with that additional detail. Thanks!

Hi Travis.ConnectIQ,

thanks for taking your time to solve this problem, today I was removing code from my watchface project to send you the zip sample as simple as possible, when I detected that after removing almost all the code and resources it started working, so I copied the full project again and started to remove one thing and test, remove other thing and test, after removing almost all I found out what causes the problem.

In my case, in the class "Parent extends WatchUi.WatchFace", if you define a static var like this for example:

I've spent about an hour trying to reproduce this issue using both code snippets provided and have failed miserably. Here is my latest test app source code...

using Toybox.Application;
using Toybox.Graphics;
using Toybox.Lang;
using Toybox.System;
using Toybox.WatchUi;

class Parent extends WatchUi.WatchFace {

  function initialize() {
    // do things
    // it's called
    System.println("Parent.initialize");
    WatchFace.initialize();
  }

  function onUpdate(dc) {
    // do things
    // NOT Called
    System.println("Parent.onUpdate");
  }
}

class Child extends Parent {

  function initialize() {
    System.println("Child.initialize");
    Parent.initialize();
  }

  function onUpdate(dc) {
    System.println("Child.onUpdate");
    Parent.onUpdate(dc);
  }
}

class NoBuenoApp extends Application.AppBase {

  function initialize() {
    AppBase.initialize();
  }

  function getInitialView() {
    return [ new Child() ];
  }
}

When I run it, I see the following output.

Child.initialize
Parent.initialize
Child.onUpdate
Parent.onUpdate
Child.onUpdate
Parent.onUpdate
Child.onUpdate
Parent.onUpdate
Child.onUpdate
Parent.onUpdate
Child.onUpdate
...

Could one of you generate a .zip of a test project folder that I can use to reproduce the issue and send it to [email protected]? Please put my screen name somewhere in the body of the message so it gets forwarded appropriately. Additionally, please include a copy/paste of the compile line and terminal output generated when compiling the app. If you're using VSCode, this is can be found on the Terminal view (View > Terminal). It should look something like this...

Once I have a test case that reproduces the issue, I'll try to figure out what is going on with this.

Same problem here, initialize on parent is being called, onUpdate on parent it is not called.

class Parent extends WatchUi.WatchFace {

  function initialize() {
    
    // do things
    // it's called
  }
  function onUpdate(dc) {
    // do things
    // NOT Called
  }
}

class Child extends Parent {

  function initialize() {
    Parent.initialize();
  }
  
  function onUpdate(dc) {
    Parent.onUpdate(dc);
  }
}
