Hey Ya'll, loooong day here, I'm fried. I have an extension that keeps firing the

initialize

method twice. I'm sure it's something dumb I've done but I can't see it. Has anyone listening banged their head on this one and remember what it was?

@Chris If your view is a child view, then the child view's

initialize

method will re-run whenever the parent view renders. The only way to solve is to cache the child view instance (within the

childViews

object in the parent view) rather than instantiating a new child view instance every time. For example, in the parent view, change this:

childViews: {
  'My.Child': function() {
    return new MyChildView();
  }
}

To something like this:

initialize: function () {
  this.myChildView = new MyChildView();
},
childViews: {
  'My.Child': function() {
    return this.myChildView;
  }
}

As a reference, the ListHeader view is often implemented in this way, if you look for usages of that throughout SCA core.

@Caleb Evans Thanks, checking on this now.
