web-sys Missing method

[danielyule]

I'm trying to write a library that includes support for gamepads via the Navigator interface. The gamepad object is supported. but navigator.getGamepads() isn't (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/getGamepads). The method is in the webidl file:https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/blob/master/crates/web-sys/webidls/enabled/Navigator.webidl#L167 but it doesn't show up in the docs (https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-bindgen/api/web_sys/struct.Navigator.html) and trying to use it from my code results in a compilation error, even though I have enabled both the Navigator and Gamepad features in my crate's features.

The methods immediately before and after getGamepads() in the webidl file are present and usable, and I can't see any reason why they would be there but getGamepads() wouldn't. The only difference I can see is that getGamepads() returns a sequence of nullable objects, which I don't see many other examples of. I briefly looked at the web-idl compiler and nothing jumped out at me as handling this case differently, but it's very likely I overlooked something.

Can anyone give my guidance as to why this method would not be present?

Probably related to #1038, #1036, #1043, and #1077.

Indeed, this seems to be a duplicate of #1038. I thought I had verified that sequences were supported, since getVRDisplays() was present and it also returned a sequence, but that sequence was wrapped in a Promise, which masked it.

Sequences will be in the next release @danielyule : #1152
