Frequently stops sending messages (disconnects?) #1217

Open timwis opened 4 years ago

timwis commented 4 years ago

Hi! Big fan of YakYak, but I've noticed that once or twice per day my messages stop sending. They appear faded, as if they're trying to send, but never do. I fix it by quitting and restarting the application (at which point the unsent messages are gone).

Any idea what might be causing this? For what it's worth I'm on an LTE connection (home LTE router) but that's never caused an issue with any other application (whether netflix or SSH or anything else).

Open yakyak on a command line and check if there are any errors/warnings/messages when it stops sending messages.

If not I can add some verbosity to it to see what is happening.

What do you mean open yakyak on a command line? Do you mean check the javascript console in the developer tools of the electron application? If so, I have and there's no logs or network activity.

Sorry but it's really the command line. We are not logging that information to a file or to the javascript console.

Open the command line on the operating system you are using (powershell or cmd in windows, terminal on linux, terminal on mac os if I'm not mistaken)

Go to yakyak's directory (cd path/to/dir) and run yakyak (./yakyak on linux, yakyak on windows and I'm not sure in mac os, but should be the same as linux)_

It should look something like this:

I'm sorry, but I don't seem to have a binary by that name on my MacOS machine. The only 'directory' would seem to be /Applications/YakYak.app/Contents but there's no dist directory and I don't seem to have a binary called yakyak in there or anywhere else. The problem has persisted nonetheless. What should I do?
