React: DevTools: Components tree is sometimes unexpectedly empty after navigation

[bvaughn]

1. Open FB page
2. Open Components tab
3. Change address bar to https://reactjs.org and press Enter

Expected: Components tab gets populated.
Actual:

If I inspect background page, I see this: (fixed by #229)

@bvaughn Would you mind if I take this issue? I just tested it and still seems to be happening, I also know that PR #229 fixed the error but the problem still persists. Gives me an idea where to begin

[bvaughn]

@awaseem By all means~

PR #229?

[bvaughn]

I'll mark this issue as taken. It's all yours.

[awaseem]

Thank you! Sorry I meant to say 229 on the previous repo: https://github.com/bvaughn/react-devtools-experimental/pull/229

@awaseem Just curious, is work happening on this? I don't see any open PRs, and this is true in my app on every page load - I have to close and reopen devtools to get the components (and profiler) tabs to work. Is there something special that an app can do to work around this issue?

[awaseem]

@alecf I'm sorry I've been extremely at work, so I haven't looked at this in a while, If you want you can take the issue from me and work on it! Again apologies for dropping the ball here, @bvaughn feel free to mark this issue as not taken

[bvaughn]

It happens. Thanks for the update. Marking as unclaimed for now. @alecf if you want to take a pass at it, let me know and I'll mark it as taken again.
