Task gallery: "Initializing..." is shown forever #63

Open neoneye opened 6 months ago

Problem

On my iPad, there is no easy way to access the developer console and check what is wrong.

It happens both in ARC-Interactive and BrainGridGame.

Sometimes the Initializing... seems to go away after 30 seconds or 60 seconds.

Sometimes if I have 2 or more tabs open with the same page. Maybe the IndexedDB cannot be accessed at the same time?

Safari on iPad

IMG_2830

Firefox on iPad

IMG_2829

Solution

Tap on Initializing... to see developer console like details about what is going on.

If it's shown for longer periods, then erase the cached data, and try load the data again.

Track how often it gets hangs in Initializing....

Observation

I changed the name of one of the datasets, and I was using the name of the old dataset that was no longer existing. This triggered the Initializing... to be shown forever. So a check for if the dataset identifier is correct, that may help.
