Hangs on 'localhost contacted. Waiting for reply...' #11

Closed PeterDaveHello closed 9 years ago

PeterDaveHello commented 9 years ago

It works pretty good on one of my computer, but keep getting localhost contacted. Waiting for reply... on another one. Any suggestions?

alberthier commented 9 years ago

Can you give me some more details: Which OS are you using ? What is your Python version ? What is your git version ? Which browser are you using (and which version) ?

PeterDaveHello commented 9 years ago

Sure. This is the env of the not working machine:

Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 8.1 (jessie) Release: 8.1 Codename: jessie Linux ftp 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1 (2015-04-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux Python 2.7.9 Python 3.4.2 git version 2.1.4

This is my browser on another computer

firefox 39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

But I think it has nothing to do with my browser, I use the same browser on the same machine.

Or did I miss something? Thanks!

I'll install jessie in a VM and try to reproduce.

PeterDaveHello commented 9 years ago

Thank you very much @alberthier

I couldn't reproduce the issue :( The only scenario where I got a similar situation is when I entered the wrong IP in the browser address bar.

If I understand correctly, you are running git-webui on a Debian machine and try to access it from another machine, right ?

On this other machine, are you sure you enter the IP address of the one running git-webui ? In your first comment, you mention 'localhost', but it should be someting like http://:8000

Right

Of course, but I think it hangs on the server side, not client issue.

I finally figured this one out. For me, at least, the problem is that webui is trying to start a browser, but I'm using this on a headless virtual machine, and the only web browser I have installed is phantomjs, so I don't want this anyway. It's too bad that this makes it die silently and just hang. Digging through the source led me to the command line options...

Using the --no-browser argument fixed it.

alberthier commented 9 years ago

OK, so the issue is fixed for me. The browser autostart is a nice feature and fits well the common use case. It depends on Python's webbrowser module.

PeterDaveHello commented 9 years ago

Maybe we can add it in readme?

Hey I am getting same issue. Whats the solution? --no-browser doesn't works anymore :\
