Firefox extension (and webapp opened in Firefox) not working

[jpdasma]

Hello,
Both the Firefox extension and webapp (when opened with Firefox) is not working.

For the extension it just shows a blank popup.

For the webapp it shows the following json:
{
"message": "",
"url": "",
"line": "",
"column": "",
"error": {},
"log": [],
"errors": [],
"nav": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0"
}

This both happened in Firefox in Linux (Fedora) and Freebsd. I haven't tested with Firefox in Windows.

I too am using Firefox on Linux, and it works for me. I have both version 60 and 62 and both work for me, so it's unlikely that this is caused by Firefox or the OS.
Maybe you have some other extension that is interfering with it?

In any case, could you open the web app and then open the developer console (ctrl+shift+i) to see if there is any useful error message?

Hello, I'm getting this.
DOMException​code: 0​columnNumber: 0​data: null​filename: ""​lineNumber: 0​message: "The operation failed for an unknown transient reason"​name: "UnknownError"​result: 2152923166​stack: ""​__proto__: DOMExceptionPrototype { name: Getter, message: Getter, INDEX_SIZE_ERR: 1, … } Array [] Array [] bundle.js:1:1342470

I tried disabling all my extensions but still encountering the issue.

[Zinggi]

Well, at least that's something. But it's not very helpful, I have no idea what might be up.
Without more information, I can't know what might be causing this.

[jpdasma]

Okay, I'll take a look more closely on my end (although I'm really not a web dev and doesn't know elm) after work.

[Zinggi]

That would be great! Let me know if you find something or if you need some help and if you have suggestions on how to improve the readme.

(I'll go on holidays in two days till the middle of july, so I probably wont be able to respond in that period)

I'm trying to setup my own environment and I'm stuck in the elm-github-install part for the web directory. It's trying to clone https://github.com/spisemisu/elm-utf8 and asks me for authentication. Upon looking at the link it seems that it doesn't exist anymore.

[Zinggi]

Oh wow, that really suck. Seems like @spisemisu deleted all their repositories. Tools really shouldn't be relying on github that much...

Anyway, I resolved it by forking the dependency that was relying on that library.
So if you pull the new changes, it should work now.
