Observations/bugs

[NGM]

Hi, I’ve noticed a number of things over the last few months that i thought I’d document for the wappler team to consider.
I’m currently on version 5.8.0 use nodejs, mysql, heroku and windows.

1. Takes a long time for the pages to render in the center pane. the pane will be blank and then can render in anything from 20 seconds to about a minute.

2. the app structure in the right hand pane often shows multiple apps eg app at the top and then app at the bottom with all the items below it… but if you click on the hocus app or elements it doesnt show anything.

3. similar to 2) you can see in the attached screenshot app1 that there are 2 items above app including download1 that when i scroll down is in the 2nd screenshot (app2) Note the 2nd item in the 1st screenshot waitdownload is not in the app … believe it was but i no longer needed so deleted it some time… well before the last version
   

   
   

4. strange one see workflow screenshot - the last 2 server connects were copied then adapted from the 3rd from bottome. When i tried to use values in the client side using the data picker all the queries except the last 2 were correct and were shown as Arrays - 3 horizontal lines then each’s name. the last 2 were shown as text (showing “a”) then the name, which meant i couldnt get to the collections formatter, tried changing the type from text to array or object but both times it wouldnt let me. tried a few other things but then had to go into the .json and the last sever connect had the json1 settings below
   

   
   
   I then added the array line in json2 below and it worked

And have you checked your page source code for these issues? Any errors, not closed tags, things added in wrong places, missing stuff?

[NGM]

Thanks Teodor - i just checked and there is a dmxMediumEditorImageUpload error coming from the layout page.

The layout page has the following:

plus multiple references to Medium Editor

Ive had a look in the extensions manager but not sure what im looking for?

[Teodor]

I am referring to syntax error in the code - such as wrongly nested elements, elements outside page body, unclosed tags etc.

[NGM]

I always check the code and look at any errors that are highlighted, often same ids so no errors of that type.

What should i do about the MediumEditorimageUpload error?

[Teodor]

If you don’t see such an error in the browser, and only in design view - then you can safely ignore this.
Can you send a link to the page or paste the code of the page where this happens:

there is a browser error which seems the same as the design view error

[Teodor]

That’s a separate issue, so please report it in a separate topic.
Can you please answer this question, which is related to your initial topic?

I raised 4 observations:

1. slow rendering of pages in design view - from your answers it seems as if this maybe caused by the Medium Editor Image Upload error seen in wappler error and browser error… So i think this does relate to my initial ticket but if this is a known error or characteristic then please let me know so i dont continue… it’s not a business critical issue and i can live with the delay although a bit frustrating

regarding items 2 and 3, I’ll figure out how to give you the info you need.

regarding iitem 4 - is this a known issue, is this something i need to be wary of when creating new queries or does this need more investigation.

Many thanks for you help

[Teodor]

I am not really sure i fully understand what your issue 4 is exactly.

[NGM]

I copied a server connect and made some changes but it saved it NOT as an array so i then couldnt use the data picker to get to the data in that server query - before manual change image below

I then went and looked at the.json file and saw that all the other server queries were arrays and the last 2 were not so i added the code shown in screenshot above so that i can get to the data - after manual change
