Blank app after 4.3.0 update

S_M · 2019-08-05 11:59:07 UTC

I see a blank screen after starting inkdrop after the 4.3.0 update. I found the following in the developer tools console:

console-breadcrumbs.js:33 Error: Minified React error #130; visit https://reactjs.org/docs/error-decoder.html?invariant=130&args[]=undefined&args[]= for the full message or use the non-minified dev environment for full errors and additional helpful warnings.

I ran ipm update in case that was the issue and saw:

ipm update

Info

Platform: macOS
Platform version: Mojave 10.14.5
App Version: 4.3.0

Reproduce

I upgraded when prompted by inkdrop.

Hi S,

Thank you for the report.
The app will restart automatically when finished updating.
I guess you have relaunched the app manually and too quickly.
So, the app shows a blank screen due to unfinished update.
Can you please try restarting the app?
If it still does not work, please download the app again from here:

https://my.inkdrop.app/download

I’ll add a message that you have to wait for a while during the update from the next version.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks again for the report!

S_M · 2019-08-05 12:08:01 UTC

I downloaded and re-installed the app. I am still seeing the blank page with this error:

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 12:10:06 UTC

Can you please try logging in again from the application menu?

S_M · 2019-08-05 12:12:26 UTC

I had to log out first, but logging our and back in from the application menu worked. Thank you!

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 12:14:11 UTC

Good to hear that. Thanks for letting me know!

Dan_Michael_Heggo · 2019-08-05 12:35:39 UTC

I’m seeing exactly the same error. Logging out and in again fixes the problem, but only for that session. After a restart it’s back again.

S_M · 2019-08-05 12:47:24 UTC

I just closed the app and re-opened it. I am seeing the same, another blank screen.

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 12:52:24 UTC

That’s strange. I can see the error reports on Bugsnag.
It seems like the issue occurs only on macOS.
I’ll look into it.

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 13:32:00 UTC

I built a patch that fixes a suspect bug.
@Dan_Michael_Heggo, @S_M, can you please try it?

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 14:17:07 UTC

I’d like to know if it fixes the issue as well:

https://inkdrop-dist.s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/tmp/Inkdrop-4.3.0-Mac-patch-2.zip

Please let me know if it works.

Bruce_MacDonald · 2019-08-05 14:59:31 UTC

I have exactly the same problem on Windows 10 (1903). Reinstalling didn’t fix it but logging out then logging back in works for that single session only, a restart requires a logout / login again.

So not just MacOS.

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 15:02:01 UTC

@Bruce_MacDonald
Okay, I am building the patch for Windows.
I identified the cause of the problem.

@Bruce_MacDonald

Can you please try it?

zslayton · 2019-08-05 15:32:47 UTC

Patch 2 for MacOS seems to have fixed the blank app issue for me. Thanks!

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 15:33:32 UTC

Thanks for letting me know, Zack!

Bruce_MacDonald · 2019-08-05 16:39:38 UTC

Thanks - that seems to have fixed the blank screen issue. While it appears to be running fine, I did get the below in the console window when I started it:

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 16:41:34 UTC

That’s correct because the patched version is not installed via Squirrel which is the autoupdate module.
I’ll roll 4.3.1 out after a while, so please install it again.
Thanks for checking it out!

craftzdog · 2019-08-05 17:09:22 UTC

I will roll out 4.3.1 once I confirmed this patch works:

Could anyone try it? Thanks so much for your cooperation!
Let me sleep for a while now…

Hans_Kristian_Henrik · 2019-08-05 18:35:48 UTC

I had the same problem with version 4.3.0 on MacOS, and can confirm that your fix in verison 4.3.1 works for me.
