On Windows 10 v2004, "Snippets" and "See History" will open an empty window #118

Open mastazi opened 4 years ago

mastazi commented 4 years ago

On Windows 10 Pro version 2004, Postbird 0.8.4 installed. Navigating to the "Query" tab and clicking on the "See History" button and/or "Snippets" button results in a new window being opened, that window contains a menubar (File, Edit, etc....) and nothing else, the rest of the window is just empty white space.

Due to this, I lost access to a snippet that I had saved before, does anyone know where are those saved on disk?

mastazi commented 4 years ago

Just in case anyone is wondering, snippets are saved in

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Postbird\custom_snippets.json

luckily my snippet was there!

So at least we know that saving a snippet works as intended, it's just the retrieval part that's the issue.

More info: I tried deleting the folder %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Postbird\ in order to start from a clean state, but the issue still persisted.

In addition I wanted to add that I also use Postbird on Mac (with Catalina) and I have no issues there.

so just another abandoned opensource project?

Unfortunately I can't replicate this issue, I don't have windows. What you can do to help: open developer tools (inside view menu), then try to replicate the issue. If you see some error message there please share it

Lately I don't have much time to work on this project but I plan to release update for Postgres 13 soon, with few minor feature changes

Hey @Paxa I submitted a PR, this fixes the issue on Windows https://github.com/Paxa/postbird/pull/119

Paxa commented 3 years ago

Thanks for PR, if someone can verify https://postbird.paxa.kuber.host/2020_10_12.20_33-master-bc53845 we can close this issue

mastazi commented 3 years ago

@Paxa I was the one doing the PR so I don't know if my opinion counts :-D

Anyway it works for me :-)

@sebolio maybe you could test the build that @Paxa posted and confirm it's working now?

mastazi commented 3 years ago

@Paxa I hope you can get around releasing this fix some day. I have a mixed dev team with Windows and Mac users, Postbird is one of the very few cross platform free alternatives. Everyone dislikes pgAdmin 4 because it opens in the browser and often new team members ask me what client could they use. I would like to answer that they should use Postbird, but as long as History and Snippets are broken on Windows, I can't recommend it unfortunately.

Just encountered this issue on windows today. This is an amazing tool after downloading it today! I wish this snippets feature worked though....

mastazi commented 1 year ago

@paulwongx Postbird is abandonware. The last release was made in 2019. If you use it, it's at your own risk...

paulwongx commented 1 year ago

@mastazi That's unfortunate. It feels like a very nice clean setup without too much stuff going on. I downloaded and surface-level tried a bunch of different ones like a built-in vscode one, dbeaver, sqlectron. Any good free ones you'd recommend?

mastazi commented 1 year ago

@paulwongx nowadays I went back to using pgAdmin since it went back to being a desktop app (it no longer opens in a browser tab). But pgAdmin is pretty clunky and certainly not lightweight.

Besides that I had a good time with Beekeeper Studio which is easier to use compared to pgAdmin: https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/
