Patchbay stuck on loading screen on Windows 10

[soapdog]

When launching Patchbay from master branch, I'm presented first with ssb-ahoy which appears to work without any glitch. I can select my identity and click the launch app button. The window is replaced with a Patchbay window with the "loading" string in the center of the screen. Then it gets stuck there.

There are replication errors on the terminal

I also had patchbay get stuck "loading..." without showing any errors... then it turned out sbot had crashed (in another tab)

[pospi]

Been debugging this with @teq and it looks like it is indeed something to do with sbot crashing. The UI shows an error in the console- Cannot read property "stream" of undefined when trying to access api.sbot.pull.stream.sbot. That happens in patchcore/contact/obs.js. Unsure how to troubleshoot further- is there any additional debug logging we can enable for sbot to see what's going on inside it?

[soapdog]

@pospi that sometimes happens to patchfox as well, @mixmix had some cool code to reconnect sbot, maybe it could be used in this step as well. Any clue on how to fix this @mixmix ?

[tariq-eden]

Thanks @soapdog, it seems to be working at the moment, for me at least.

[mixmix]

that error about stream of undefined is on this code :

      api.sbot.pull.stream(sbot => sbot.friends.stream({ live: true })),

specifically that sbot.friends.stream

i.e. sbot.friends is undefined

I need to know more about how exactly you are each running your sbot (ssb-server). The main expected way to go is to let Patchbay run the ssb-server (i.e. please try doing this without deviating and running your own ssb-server from command line with unknown plugin versions, it makes support harder).

If it is ssb-server crashing, it's hard to say why. I think there's an ENV you can start with which does more heavy ssb-server logging but not sure if that's documented .. hmm check out https://www.npmjs.com/package/ssb-config for logging.level (you can set that in ssb-ahoy!)

Let me know how it goes @soapdog @dominictarr @pospi

[soapdog]

@mixmix I'm letting patchbay run its own server. I will download a recent copy and try again.

[soapdog]

@mixmix it is still happening on master branch. Somehow Patchbay is extremely slow on my machine (which is also slow). To be honest, everything is slow here but Patchbay is waaaay slower than other electron based apps. Things like going ssb-ahoy screen to patchbay main UI took couple minutes.

The main UI launched blank, it took minutes to paint decorations there and then it broke with

PS C:\Users\andre\prog\ssbc\patchbay> npm run start

> patchbay@8.0.1 start C:\Users\andre\prog\ssbc\patchbay
> electron index.js -- --title patchbay

This is a fresh install, brand new node modules.

[stale]

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

[soapdog]

Just a bump because this is still happening with a fresh install of master on Windows 10.

[DoubleCouponDay]

Same issue for me.

I posted on the Git-SSB repo for this as well, but I am also getting this issue. Specifically, the error that I'm getting is:
