Boostnote: Can't Create New Note (stuck on screen to select note type)

[xguse]

Clicking on either of the options results in the uncaught error.

I am running uptodate Arch Linux and used the PKGBUILD from the AUR.

I tried compiling v0.8.15 yesterday on windows 64 using grunt, and had this same issue. I had to use a pre-compiled binary to get it to work, you can get them from here.

Do you by any chance have the analytics enabled? Maintainer of the Arch package here and since we build from source analytics does not work. I have no problem creating notes while it’s disabled (latest build + up to date Arch + analytics disabled). Tried looking for different causes but did not find any.

For those wondering why, also the reason why @PureCS his build fails, is that the ID for connecting to their analytics server is not present in the source code (just a placeholder). It’s added during packaging the releases. Seems a failed connect that isn’t yet caught.

Thank you for your response, it seems to be the issue.

I have pushed an update for the Arch package @xguse which should already fix the issues you're experiencing. Let me know if any problems remain and I'll try to find a solution for them.

Also I've published #950 as a pull request which should fix this error in general, so also your windows compile case @PureCS.

Please remove this analytics stuff completely.

@clone1612 Can you maybe open a PR with the changes you made to remove analytics? Maybe more distributions/people will use your patches then. I really appreciate your work :)

[xguse]

Dear god PLEASE do remove the analytics.

@clone1612 : thank you! I am now able to create new notes!

And as an added bonus, my net activity doesn't spike every 5 or so seconds anymore.

Can't wait to actually test this app out!
