Beaker: Peers hosting indicator and menu aren't working

Created on 10 Sep 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: beakerbrowser/beaker

Describe the Bug
The peers hosting menu in the location bar does the same thing for every hyper:// URL:

  • Displays a number (usually 3 or around 3)
  • After about one second, displays 0
  • When clicking on it, displays a popup with a loading screen which stays like that.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to the User Directory from the bookmarks bar
  2. Choose a user and take note of how many peers are hosting their page (e.g. 36)
  3. Visit the page
  4. Notice that the peer connection indicator displays a number (usually 3 or around 3), and about a second later displays 0
  5. Click the indicator
  6. Notice that the menu opens but stays loading

Expected Behavior
The peers hosting indicator and the menu show the correct number of peers or show an error if one occurred.

Same issue if you upgrade to 1.0.0-prerelease.7?

I鈥檝e noticed the same issues on Linux and macOS too. However, for me Beaker works fine for maybe the first week or two, then this issue appears after some use. I don鈥檛 know the exact steps to reproduce it.

Yes, the issue is present in version 1.0.0-prerelease.7.

Yeah very sorry about this. We have a fix in the upcoming release.

About the version string in my original post being 1.0.0-prerelease.3, I may have just un-commented-out whatever was in the template assuming it was the latest version; sorry about that 馃槢 I only noticed it on 1.0.0-prerelease.7.

Same happens on Linux version with hole-punchable network

Going to close for the upcoming 1.0 release, where it's fixed
