#641 the browser window suddenly becomes blank during loading

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

Sometimes, the whole window in my browser goes blank. If I look at the Inspector, it writes: "ReferenceError: mw is not defined"

[Lee Worden]

Thank you!
If possible please send a URL that does this. It's usually a crash on
the server side.

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

what if it crashes only from time to time and probably randomly
last time (~ 5 minutes ago) it happened here: http://lalashan.mcmaster.ca/theobio/evolCancer/index.php/Low-impact_treatments_paper/Machinery (I am currently working on it)

[Lee Worden]

OK. I don't see any crashes in the server log. Plus the message in the browser inspector suggests it's a client-side problem anyway. Is there any additional information in the console (within the inspector) or attached to the "ReferenceError" message?

[Lee Worden]

Also I wonder if it could involve something not getting delivered to the browser. If it happens again, please look at the "network" section of the inspector and see if there's anything in red, meaning it was requested but didn't arrive. Something like this might happen if you get JavaScript modules that use the "mw" object but don't get the one that defines it.

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

no, only that one + constant loading

[Lee Worden]

sorry, what exactly do you mean by 'constant loading'?

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

the page is loading, it loads a part of it and then it goes blank with that message and continuing loading

[Lee Worden]

terrible!

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

I know

[Lee Worden]

Andrei - I'm about to go to a meeting, will be back later...

[Andrei Akhmetzhanov]

A plus
(probably, it is again a local problem with my browser - thank you for trying to help!)

[Lee Worden]

of course - it's in your browser but I don't think it's the browser's fault, I think it's ours.

Hi Lee,

just for the record

Can you please check again?

again that blank page (after 5 minutes still no response) - usually it happens when I import a file and then go back to the WW-page

[Lee Worden]

I've tried that page a few times now. I had several long waits, and a
couple times it came quickly. The first time I successfully loaded it,
there was a "Could not make" message, but I didn't get a look at the log
file. Now it's reloaded and the figure is successfully made. I looked at
the server log, but so far I haven't found anything informative. I'll
look some more.
