Thanks for reporting :+1:

Added the "needs info" label because without server and client logs (as described in the issue template) it's impossible to figure out whats wrong.

[nunofmds]

What more info you need? This seems to be on the client side not on the server side... Javascript maybe?

[keagster]

Also getting this error after a clean install on ubuntu server.

• Console shows TypeError: t.response.data.ocs is undefined
• Error coming from RichWorkspace.vue
  It hits the catch from the axiom.get and on line 139 this error comes through when running
• const data = error.response.data.ocs.data

Gone through and checked all libs and installation requirements are met and config is correct.

[keagster]

Okay traced this and if no README.md is located in the directory you are in this loading circle will just sit there.

• This rich workspace option should 100% not be turned on by default
• Condition required if README.md or *.md not in DIR then disable richworkspace view
  That would allow default on to remain without causing people issues.

[kesselb]

Mind to check your network tab and share the failing xhr request?

[nunofmds]

«

[kesselb]

404 is the correct response if there is no README.md found. Yeah it's a bad choice (because the webserver will log it).

It works fine over here. 404 response, spinner is gone.

[nunofmds]

The spinner is still there...

[nunofmds]

[kesselb]

The response for the failing xhr request is?

[nunofmds]

404 !? Where is the property "data"?

[kesselb]

Click on Response ...

[nunofmds]

[kesselb]

You disabled the text app?

[nunofmds]

It is enabled and I can use it to edit md txt files...

[kesselb]

Anything in nextcloud.log?

Actually logs, configuration and apps are already part of the issue template and I already added the "needs info" label earlier because those information are missing. You see there is a reason we ask that information.

Any chance that your webserver is changing the response? The response should not be empty and have response data.

[nunofmds]

Just did a tail -f /data/nextcloud.log and nothing new appears even after a force CTRL+F5 on the page

Is the text app disabled there are no such requests. If one needs a test instance to compare the requests / responses: https://try.nextcloud.com/. Looks like a configuration issue to me. We probably need more information to investigate further.

[nunofmds]

Confirmed. If i disable text app it's ok! What config do you refer? I never configured nothing for the text app...

[kesselb]

What config do you refer?

I suspect that your webserver changes the response. The code does not check if the response is the expected response. It's assumed that the 404 response contains data. Should be possible to check this. But the actual issue is your configuration / webserver changing the 404 response.

[nunofmds]

Ok...strange this didnt happen before the latest update. I'm running nextcloud docker image...

[shelterx]

Same issue here after upgrading to 18.0.4, running behind nginx "proxy" and a standard next cloud install on the other end.
This was not a problem in 18.0.3.

EDIT: Disabling the text app makes the spinner disappear.
EDIT2: Creating README.md also makes the spinner disappear when text app is enabled.
[/data/user/files]# touch README.md

[shelterx]

I ended up turning off rich workspace for now.
occ config:app:set text workspace_available --value=0

[juliushaertl]

I cannot reproduce this. Please try to provide the output of the requests that @kesselb provided.

[shelterx]

It's the result as @nunofmds got, 404 code with empty response,
I also tried this and it didn't output anything at all:
curl -u 'userhidden:passwordhidden' --location --request GET 'https://sitehidden/ocs/v2.php/apps/text/workspace?path=%2F' --header 'OCS-APIRequest: true'

[juliushaertl]

Can you run it with -v to get the http headers as well?

Hi,
in my Nginx config I had:

error_page 403 /core/templates/403.php;
error_page 404 /core/templates/404.php;

Removing those, which are no longer in the provided Nginx configuration fixes the Issue for me.

Kind Regards

[juliushaertl]

Ok, yes that would explain it. Basically if the workspace returns a 404 because there is no readme file yet for that directory your nginx is trying to hand out an error page that does not exist anymore and therefore it redirects to the files app itself, which we cannot handle as the text app.

Maybe we can add some hardening to not fail in such a redirect case.

[shelterx]

Hi,
in my Nginx config I had:

error_page 403 /core/templates/403.php;
error_page 404 /core/templates/404.php;

Removing those, which are no longer in the provided Nginx configuration fixes the Issue for me.

Kind Regards

Nice find! I had that setting too and after removing it, the spinning circle is gone.
I guess I have update me on how nextcloud recommend setting up ngnix, I noticed the error_page settings are not mentioned anymore in the documentation.

[juliushaertl]

As @kesselb suggested it might worth to move away from returning a 404 here and rather use a 2xx status code or even get rid of the /workspace endpoint and use the custom dav property we already have for mobile integration instead.

[TheManchineel]

Hi,
in my Nginx config I had:

error_page 403 /core/templates/403.php;
error_page 404 /core/templates/404.php;

Kind Regards

Wow, amazing that this solved it for me! How did you find it?

Thanks a lot

[nunofmds]

For thoose that use linuxserver/nextcloud docker image the nginx config file is on

/config/nginx/site-confs/default

edit the file and comment

error_page 403 /core/templates/403.php;
error_page 404 /core/templates/404.php;

restart the docker and should be fixed... worked for me as well...

Thanks!

[juliushaertl]

Let's keep that open to track the improvements suggested from https://github.com/nextcloud/text/issues/820#issuecomment-631384701

[dysonsphere-startmail]

Had the same issue. Ubuntu 20.04, nginx.

Disabling Rich Workspaces also gets rid of the spinning wheel. But neither of these is a fix.

Creating a Readme.md file in a directory ends the spinning wheel and loads the "Add notes, lists or links..." dialogue.

However, commenting out the following lines in /etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf

error_page 403 /core/templates/403.php;
error_page 404 /core/templates/404.php;

Did the trick.
After this edit of nextcloud.conf the rich workspace dialogue loads on the top of the files page in all directories with, or without, a Readme.md file present.

[aptalca]

linuxserver.io team member here

Those were removed from our default site conf well over a year ago, for Nextcloud v15: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-nextcloud/commit/39fd8e322bf243ded22a6409e9323b75fd3d964f#diff-cab6a3a029fd4edc2e44acec10375bdcL44-L45

Our changelog includes notes about existing users having to delete the default site conf and restart the container to update whenever there is a change such as this one: 18.11.19: - Nginx default site config updated for v17 (existing users should delete /config/nginx/site-confs/default and restart the container).
We don't automatically update it because that file is user customizable and we don't want to overwrite any user customizations

Same issue with apache server from https://github.com/nextcloud/docker

When a folder is opened, I get a 404 with the message "No workspace file found".

You seem to have found a solution for Nginx, I am using apache and still searching for a solution.
Do you know where the equivalent of /etc/nginx/conf.d/nextcloud.conf for an apache server could be located ?
