Visualize 'error' state #326

Closed jonnor closed 9 years ago

jonnor commented 10 years ago

Note: running with workaround for #325

To reproduce: Open Flowhub in live mode with a runtime which it is impossible to connect (wrong port/address etc) Expected: Some error message about not being able to connect Actual: End up on frontpage, looking like nothing happened

console shows a message CXT is with state = error

@jonnor there is an error, but it isn't shown. We should definitely start showing both something on the loading state and on error state. Would be great if somebody else handled that :-)

See also #322

Seems like this should go with some UI for connecting to live mode. Dialog with address, port, protocol?

bergie commented 10 years ago

@forresto that can happen later, or even outside of the UI proper. For now, I'd like to have something shown to users when we get context.state = 'error'. This can happen with live mode, but also with other things like GitHub sync, navigation, etc
