[BUG] Unable to connect after loading incorrect "index.tar.gz" #107

Closed marciot closed 4 years ago

marciot commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug I upgraded ESP3D to version 3.0, but accidentally uploaded the "index.tar.gz" for 2.1. Now when I try to connect, I get a dialog box saying:

"Connection failed! Is your FW correct?"

It seems like this dialog box should have an option to re-upload the "index.tar.gz" in the case in which it gets corrupted.

I tried to reflash the FW, hoping that it would blow away the file system, but this seems to not have happened. Until I can find a way to erase the filesystem, I do not know how to fix this problem.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install 3.0 ESP 3D
  2. Install "index.tar.gz" for 2.1
  3. Try to connect

Expected behavior It should give you an option to re-upload the "index.html.gz"

@luc-github: This fallback mode is perfect, but it won't help unless you know about it. May I suggest a simple hyperlink on the "Connection failed!" dialog box? Something like:

<a href="?forcefallback=yes">Failsafe mode</a>

well it is documented - it is in readme and the only screenshot of 2.1 : https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D but no one read I know that.... so adding such link may also be confusing to user as they won't understand the purpose of it ... because connection failed can be caused by other reason than invalid index.html.gz

I prefer to keep UI simple for the moment - but it may change in future
