We're going to need more information since this isn't readily reproducible.

Please open your browser inspector and monitor the Network tab as well as the Console while reproducing the problem.

When did this behavior start?

I observe the same error in my logs.

[joshtrichards]

When did this problem start?

Any errors on the Network tab when reloading the page and reproducing the problem?

Also please check Admin settings->Overview for any errors or warnings.

I first witnessed it just before posting this -- but then again, I don't use the web viewer that much.

Nothing in the Network tab or in logs.

For me these errors started appearing when I did the upgrade to the very latest Nextcloud stable release

No other errors present in the instance, neither in the network tab nor system logs.

@joshtrichards Any specific logs you would like to see, not covered by the network tab or Admin settings->Overview?

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: window.OCA.Text is undefined

Are you able to create/edit markdown files using the Text app outside of Notes? e.g. via Files in the Web UI?

Please take a close look at the Network tab in your browser then do a full refresh/reload of the problematic page.

I got the same issue after the upgrade : "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: window.OCA.Text is undefined" Finally I found a trick to fix it : go to "Notes settings" then click on "display mode" and select "open in edition mode" On my side, the display mode was empty, maybe that can explain why I wasn't able to display the notes in the browser.

[ghagl]

Selecting an option in "Notes settings" does indeed work, I haven't yet checked whether editing outside of Notes works though

If you then set it to "Open in rich text mode" does it continue to function?

Do you perhaps not have the text app installed?

Yes, it works. I guess after the Note upgrade the setting was empty.

Dear @CelianGdfrd,

Thanks for your report! Please check "Text" app too, and if app will be enabled and this will solve your problem, please close the issue. Otherwise will will have a look deeper.
