BUG: Block drag and drop interaction fails within vscode extension webview
Question
GrapesJS version
- I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS
What browser are you using?
VSCode (WebView within VSCode extension)
Reproducible demo link
https://grapesjs.com/demo.html
Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- Create a new vscode extension (or use one that you already have)
- Create a Webview that contains an HTML document with an iframe loading the GrapesJS demo (see example code below)
- Run the extension and webview to load the GrapesJS demo
- Try to drag a Grapes Block in the canvas
What is the expected behavior? The dragged block should be added to the canvas
What is the current behavior? The dragged component is NOT added to the canvas. You can watch a video showing the problem here: https://www.protozoo.com/tests/grapesjs/vscode_extension_grapes.mov. As demonstrated in the video, other dragging interactions work as expected. The issue can be seen near the end.
If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:
// Here's a simplified code example on how to create a webview within a vscode example, and load grapesjs demo inside.
// You can download a ready-to-build-and-run project here:
// http://www.protozoo.com/tests/grapesjs/visualEditor_vscode_extension.zip
const vscode = require('vscode');
/**
* @param {vscode.ExtensionContext} context
*/
function activate(context) {
console.log('Congratulations, your extension "visualEditor" is now active!');
let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('visualeditor.openVisualEditor', function () {
const panel = vscode.window.createWebviewPanel(
'visualEditor',
'Visual Editor',
vscode.ViewColumn.One,
{ enableScripts: true }
);
panel.webview.html = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Visual Editor</title>
</head>
<body style="padding: 0 0px;">
<iframe src="https://grapesjs.com/demo.html" style="position: fixed; width: 100%; height: 100%;">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>`
});
context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
function deactivate() {}
module.exports = {
activate,
deactivate
}

Hi @protozoo I'm not sure exactly why but looks like the vscode iframe (probably sandboxed) is blocking the native HTML5 Drag & Drop (this is what is used on Blocks). As this is not strictly related to the core I'll move this one to the discussion.
