Can't display a long list of DateObject or Quantity objects

Discussed in https://github.com/JerryI/wolfram-js-frontend/discussions/277

^{Originally posted by **Hachann** September 5, 2024} Hello, `RandomDate[n]` outputs a list of Dates (`DateObject` Head) up to n = 147. Starting at n = 148, there is no output. `Differences @ RandomDate[n]` outputs a list of dates differences (`Quantity` Head) up to n = 206. Starting at n = 207, there is no output.

In general this is correct. We have probably seen something like this

This is natural limitations of big outputs. If we allow bigger, then our editor (CodeMirror 6) struggles to render all of it. In order not to affect UX, we limit the maximum output length (as characters).

I don't get to output the "Too long to display" mention you seem to have, which is nice actually, but either an error message or sometimes even nothing. The computation is done and the data is retrievable for later transformations.

I see. Now the differences between linux's Chromium browser and Windows/OSX kick in. Try to Menu -> Reload Window

I still could not reproduce it on my Linux machine. In a case if something similar shows up new window.CellWrapper, could you please share logs with us?

• Right click -> Inspect
• Console

Sure, this is the error message :

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'view')
    at new window.CellWrapper (module.js:465:64)
    at core.UINotebook.NewCell (/home/hachann/Wolfram Language/wln notebooks/start.wln:1350:17)

Is this verbose enough ?

If you do this on the page with errors, does it change anything?

[Hachann]

No, display stays the same after the reload

Resolved in a 2.5.6 release
