Reactotron: Reactotron turning white when I try to see details of connections

[AilsonFreire]

I'm using Mac mini 2014, 1,4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 e
reactotron-react-native: 3.2.2

Interesting. Seems like reactotron is crashing on you. When you say try to see the details of connections does that mean hitting the home tab or expanding the little bottom tray to switch connections?

Similar issue here on windows. I'm using a windows 10 machine with the latest Reactotron Desktop build

[AilsonFreire]

This happens when I am in timeline tab. This list all my connections but, when I try to see details of its responses, the app turns all blank. (I tested this app in my latest version of Ubuntu, it works very well, anyways it's a great tool).

Same on win10

@AilsonFreire Please do me a favor - Find a way to cause the issue. When there is a timeline item that if you were to click that would cause a crash in the list, instead of clicking on it click the giant down arrow in the top right of the window and select a location. Upload that file here. If the events contain information you don't want to make public please let me know and I can provide alternative ways to get it to me.

@Fl4zher and @SteffanUA are you trying to expand a item when this occurs on Windows too?

[faizalshap]

same for me as well

Same, since updating to Reactotron 2.13.0 (Osx 10.14.4, "reactotron-react-native": "^3.2.2")

Crashes whenever I try to see the details in the timeline.

I can confirm that it's only in 2.13.0. Just reverted to 2.12.0 and the problem is gone.

[rmevans9]

Oh no! I’ll look at this here in a couple of hours. What kind of item did you try and expand?

[arikpre]

Hard to pinpoint exactly now that I reverted to 2.12.0, but if I recall clearly it did in on any debug.

For the record I did channel regular console.logs to reactotron with: console.log = Reactotron.log;

I don't know if this might be a parameter...

[rmevans9]

@arikpre I have found the issue and have a build running. The root cause here was the fact that I accidentally removed a needed import. The version will be 2.13.1 when it finishes building (~10 minutes or so)

[arikpre]

@rmevans9 Fixed! Works like a charm!

Btw, just wanna know if there is a possibility to customize the color of the tag in Reactotron.display and also if it would be possible to filter displays based on the name property or (event the color, if I may).

The reason for this is that I like to create categories of logs but don't want to be overloaded with them visually, so this would help a lot.

Anyway thanks a lot, it's a great great tool!

[rmevans9]

@arikpre There is not currently the possibility of doing this but if you open an issue about this and describe how you would want something like this to work we can certainly take it into consideration.

@faizalshap @Fl4zher @AilsonFreire The above fix likely doesn't fix the issue you guys are having as you started seeing this before the broken version was released so I am interested in the export of the timeline when any of you get a chance.

[HarunKilic]

@rmevans9 Seems like the problem is fixed!

[ioveracker]

FWIW I just started seeing this with 2.13.0 and it was fixed on update of the Reactotron client (2.13.0 -> 2.13.2). 👌 My issue was similar, but I was trying to expand the details of a Reactotron.display(...) call from React Native.

[AilsonFreire]

I uninstalled the .dmg version and installed using brew cash in my Mac, this version worked fine for me.

[rmevans9]

It seems like this is working well. Closing this issue 👍

Hello, when I use the Reactotron.display function the screen goes white, but using the same text in Reactotron.log or Reactotron.logImportant works perfectly, I'm using version 2.14.2.

[rmevans9]

@RaulCorreia Can you show me the code you are trying to call display with? Specifically wanting to know the data that is being passed to Reactotron

sorry for the delay, basically any json I send, like
{type: UNSUBSCRIBE, payload: true} in Reducer

[rmevans9]

@RaulCorreia Could you show me the Reactotron.display call specifically? I would like to use that to try and reproduce the error

I use it that way

Reactotron.display({
name: 'Reducer',
value: action,
preview: action,
important: true,
})

'action' is my json arriving at reduer.
the first json it should display is {type@@redux/INIT}
but it does not show anything, just the white screen, if I use only the Reactotron.log(action) it displays everything perfectly

@RaulCorreia The issue is preview is expected to be a string. We could probably do better of calling that out and making that known. Perhaps you would like to write up an issue indicating that we should handle failures from passing an object to preview better?

after you've talked about being a string in the preview I used JSON.stringify() only in the preview and it worked, so I guess Log should do the same
