Yes, this only applies to Safari.
I think i need to update my safari version in order to resolve this issue, currently not reproducible on my machine
I also initially had some issues reproducing this issue in Safari using the first sketch you linked, but was able to see it after opening your second one. I think this might be related to how Safari is caching these resources (especially since this seems to work in Private Mode), which I think is similar to the issue this person faced in this article.
After reading this, I think another temporary workaround could be clearing the browser cache for the p5.js site. However, we're still trying to figure out how to adjust our CORS configuration to fix this issue!
After clearing the cache (or reloading with disabled cache in dev tools) the first sketch seems to work for me pretty consistently.
I guess the second sketch somehow breaks Safari's cache – but it seems to create the exact conditions that happened to me and my students.
I've run a lot of different student sketches yesterday, around 20, and had no loading issues at all. But: I got two 'Bad Gateway (502)' errors. Now I remember we did get these in class as well – they might be related to the loading issue – maybe these are what breaks the cache when such a server issue happens during an asset fetch? Just speculating though...
p5.js version
1.9.4
What is your operating system?
macOS 14.5
Web browser and version
Safari 17.5
Actual Behavior
We've been experiencing severe problems using the web editor in class, specifically when loading images and fonts. In a group of 20 students, there's never been a single session without those issues. Most of them are using Macbooks or iMacs.
The issue seems hard to reproduce, because a single sketch sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. We've been calling it "p5.js server issues", maybe it's a regional thing as well – we're based in Austria/Europe.
This sketch fails for me right now in Safari 17.5: https://editor.p5js.org/groedl/sketches/OGg6QwaFu
The console reveals a CORS issue:
Some additional observations:
The image seems to be loaded using
fetch()
, so I've tried to do that "manually" here: https://editor.p5js.org/groedl/sketches/86WqYZ9IRThis fails as well, but there are two cases which make the fetch() work:Adding a trailing slash to the URL – found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39875236Usingmode: no-cors
.Image LinkEDIT: These don't actually fix the issue. Case 1 works with fetch() but results in a 404. no-cors suceeds but returns no data (which is intended with no-cors).
Possibly related issues: #3062, #3089
Expected Behavior
Images should load without issues.
