Reactotron: Timeline stops responding to `clear`

[scally]

Sometimes, Reactotron stops responding to the clear button in the top-right corner for the Timeline view. Neither clicking clear at this point or Command-K will result in clearing the console.

I don't have a repro for this yet... sorry :( I suspect it has something to do with sleep/resume of the computer, or using the developer menu inside the iOS simulator.

I've seen this as well. Closing and restarting the app works, but I'd love to get to the bottom of this too.

My current working theory is that it's related to socket.io. I've seen this on the command line as well going as far back as last year.

Thanks for filing this issue.

@skellock might be worth putting an on('error' callback and log out any error to the Reactotron timeline to help get to the bottom of this.

Strangely, for me the Reactotron hangs if I call Reactotron.log(item1, item2) (i.e. with more than 1 parameter)

@scientist1642 oh? Are you using the 2.x version?

[scientist1642]

@skellock sorry, turns out I was passing object to Display.preview. Would be nice if it didn't hang though on error. Maybe fixed in 2.x? :) (I have 1.14.0)

[rmevans9]

Can anyone confirm that this still occurs in 2.x? I have not seen it occur in it yet.

Closing this for now since I have not heard about it happening in v2 and we did a lot to how communication between the client and server works. I am hopeful that works resolved this issue.

Sorry For the late answer. My problem was related to overriding console.log with reactotron which turned out to be a bad idea.
Anyway I myself don't face such problem in v2 ⛳️
