[Bug]: files index load indefinitely -> `Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.vm is null` #32582

Ornanovitch · 2022-05-24T19:06:00Z

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
This issue is not already reported on Github (I've searched it).
Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

Randomly (it seems), my files index (root folder) hangs on loading and I'm forced to click on the file app again to get it loaded. When it hangs, it doesn't help to just reload the page, as if I had to recall the home URL to get threw the full redirection steps.

No error into NC logs, but FF console shows this:

FWIW, it seems to happens quasi systematically (but not only ⚠️) when I start firefox with the NC's apps/files page attached to a pinned tab (in other words when the page is kind of preloaded).

cetcondor · 2022-05-29T23:07:43Z

Have the same issue on several instances. Different from @Ornanovitch in our deployments it's Apache instead of Nginx, and regarding the user-backends, SSO-SAML is not activated.

effatee · 2022-05-31T08:04:36Z

Yes same issue here as well.
No specific error caught or raised in the logging.
Just indefinite loading logo, and a click on the "house" breadcrumb is required to load files.

melroy89 · 2022-06-06T21:03:20Z

I can confirm this issue as well. Page will not load, until refresh and trying again from scratch.

Mer0me · 2022-06-07T07:58:52Z

Some of our users have the very same problem here since v24 :

Clicking on Files app shows infinite spinner very often but not systematically
Clicking on the home button works immediately
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.vm is null in the console log

We are all using Firefox 91.8.0 ESR on the same network and the same instance of Nextcloud, but only some users have this behavior. Using the impersonate app to reproduce the bug on a non-affected computer doesn't work : bug is not related to user profile, it seems to be browser-related. We cannot reproduce the bug under Chrome.
Maybe a cache issue ?

Ornanovitch · 2022-06-07T08:48:51Z

We are all using Firefox 91.8.0 ESR [...] We cannot reproduce the bug under Chrome. [...] Maybe a cache issue ?

Thanks, nice catch. I'm on Firefox>100. I'll try with Chromium to see if I can reproduce or not.

@Danger89 @effatee @cetcondor are you also using Firefox?

effatee · 2022-06-07T09:02:54Z

@Danger89 @effatee @cetcondor are you also using Firefox?

Nope... Safari 15.4

effatee · 2022-06-07T09:09:43Z

But... Just installed Firefox and Chrome to check.
Can't reproduce the issue on any of both after fresh install... login, main files page loads correctly...
Indeed might be a cache issue between v23 and v24...
Will clear cache on Safari and check.

Ornanovitch · 2022-06-07T09:11:53Z

OK, so maybe this is somehow a reproducible bug only for a daily/normal use of NC with the same browser.

effatee · 2022-06-07T09:16:12Z

I've just completely cleared cache/history and restarted Safari.
The issue was still there at first load... circling loading icon, no loading of files.
I then reloaded page... and files appeared.

Now each time I go to NC, files load normally. issue is gone...
Anyway... Clear cache... issue solved on my end with Safari 15.4

Mer0me · 2022-06-07T09:21:48Z

We have had a similar issue with OnlyOffice file loading and that was a cache problem (an old js file was very persistent, and we had to delete it manually in firefox cache folder !). Maybe the way nextcloud deals with browser cache is problematic ?

Ornanovitch · 2022-06-07T09:25:56Z

OK thanks! I just cleared my browser's cache, I'll let you know if it works durably 🤞

If it does, I agree with @Mer0me that this is still a problematic behavior and that we should let this issue opened.

Yes. Firefox 101.0

No luck for me, the bug keeps happening :/

Mer0me · 2022-06-15T07:22:31Z

Some news about this bug ? It's very annoying...

Ornanovitch · 2022-06-15T08:09:33Z

No idea sorry

MGousseff · 2022-06-29T13:46:21Z

Still happening for me too.

Mer0me · 2022-07-07T09:20:09Z

Can you reproduce error on v24.0.2 ? I've switched to this version this week and it seems to solve most of the problems.

killerbees19 · 2022-07-07T12:38:26Z

Can you reproduce error on v24.0.2 ?

My personal experience: Not fixed in v24.0.2

Ornanovitch · 2022-07-07T13:05:55Z

Not fixed for me, at least when opening on a pinned tab on FF

Mer0me · 2022-07-08T06:36:50Z

My bad, I could reproduce the bug today on 24.0.2. It's very annoying. Is there any plan to resolve it ?

bassplayer404 · 2022-07-08T13:53:29Z

I have the same problem with firefox and safari on different computers and with different users. No problems with chrome. NC 24.0.2. Clearing cache did not help.

Mer0me · 2022-07-14T14:40:57Z

The files.js:173:6 seems to refer to /var/www/nextcloud/apps/text/js/text-files.js so I tried to disable "Text" app, and it seems to work. Could you test that on your instances ?

Ornanovitch · 2022-07-14T15:08:43Z

This is it, I confirm! Bug reappears as soon as I activate Text App again. Good catch :)

Ornanovitch · 2022-07-14T15:11:00Z

@juliushaertl does it worth moving this issue to the Text App repo or should it remain here?

Mer0me · 2022-07-14T15:28:06Z

It takes me some time to find out but I'm proud of me !
I think the issue should be in the Text App repo, or at least there should be a link to this post in the Text repo.

juliushaertl · 2022-07-14T20:09:51Z

This is actually a regression caused by a timing issue where the response of the propound was hitting to early with https://github.com/nextcloud/text/pull/2193/files#diff-7b59ac385a5893f449345a411c1f98c8efc6735bab45bed8de4b354a12dc275cR172.

This got addressed by nextcloud/text#2677 and will be available with the next maintenance release.

Ornanovitch · 2022-07-15T07:39:54Z

Awesome, thanks a lot!
