APRS message in the DashBoard may exceed width of the "LAST HEARD" WebUI frame

[lyusupov]

Expected behavior

It is expected that the frame width should stay within the style defined boundaries regardless the actual length of the APRS message

Error in APRS packet not path or last path fail.

Error in APRS packet not path or last path fail.

Not necessarily.

The same source produces the APRS packets that give NO error :

The effect is sporadic - most packets received do not cause the ESP32APRS WebUI glitch, but some does. I would estimate 80% PASS and 20% FAIL ratio.

Another argument: the same source do not cause any issues with other APRS iGates, such as Dire Wolf

Anyway, the reason for opening this issue is: regardless of the data received - the ESP32APRS WebUI is expected to maintain the constant HTML frames width.

AC7574>OGFLR:/065718h56 <<- The package has no path.

Function handle_lastHeard() in webservice.cpp not protection code.

int start_info = line.indexOf(":", 0); 
int end_ssid = line.indexOf(",", 0);
int start_dst = line.indexOf(">", 2);
int start_dstssid = line.indexOf("-", start_dst);
String path = line.substring(end_ssid + 1, start_info);

The package has no path.

What is wrong with an APRS message having no PATH ? https://blog.aprs.fi/2020/02/how-aprs-paths-work.html

Moreover, the aprs.glidernet.org APRS-IS server that handles the OGFLR destination is expecting that a receiver (OGN project software or a generic APRS iGate) can process no-PATH messages: https://github.com/glidernet/ogn-aprs-protocol/blob/master/aprsmsgs.txt

The protocol is not wrong. But my code made a mistake in not protecting this part. Resulting in incorrect display. I fixed it in version 0.2a You can test update by OTA. SETTING->SYSTEM->ABOUT->OTA Update

I fixed it in version 0.2a

Thank you!

V0.2 does not seem to have the "OTA Update" button that would download & install V0.2a from your site automatically. I can see no V0.2a .bin file in Releases area that I could download and install manually (with esptool or "Firmware Update" button).

You can download direct from my server at http://www.dprns.com/ESP32/ESP32APRS_TWR.bin or OTA from device.

@nakhonthai

Thanks' for the tip! The OTA firmware update went smooth.

I can confirm positive effect of this commit https://github.com/nakhonthai/ESP32APRS_T-TWR/commit/964f1e38539496c31a1846a23c3072708ce74f2f

I no longer see an artifact specified in the issue description. Thank you for the fix!
