NodeBB on Android / PWA
-
That's extremely odd. What browser are you using?
-
I tried it with Chrome, Brave, Firefox and Samsung Internet Browser on Pixel phones and respectively a Samsung Tab.
I also tried to disable CSS but it did bit change anything. I also have no clue if there is something like a console on mobile devices where I could debug what's going on.
-
No and no. So I have the strong feeling that the reason is to be found in the IT infrastructure but I am not sure. As the access is limited to the internal network the IT-department decided to register an ordinary http:// url in the config.js and their DNS. I suspect that this might be the reason but I have no explanation why it's only causing issues on mobile devices. I also figured out how to inspect the mobile debugging console and there is nothing which is not appearing on the desktop as well apart from the following but I doubt that this is really the culprit.

As on Desktop everything works like a charm I am curious if there is something which is known for causing this issues. I am aware of the fact that other NodeBB pages are of course working fine on mobile devices so I am suspecting also the VPN we use to access the network but never had issue before either so .... any clues?
Does this only occur once, and then disappear temporarily once reloaded?
That is, are you able to browse the site fine (including subsequent reloads) for a little while after the initial reload?

Every new page loading seems to be affected. So there is almost everytime the need for a second manual reload. Once every while it seems to load fine. Except the first time I open a new tab and go to the bookmarked/pasted URL or click on the shortcut it's also loading as it's supposed to load.
Creating 'New Posts' is almost impossible but it kinda works if I press the buttons in the right order (double load, click create new post), click on a topic) then at least the markdown editor ia showing up. Replying is also not possible...
-
@julian Nope, here it's all fine. Also on other sites I know which are based on NodeBB (and which I use as PWA). However as it's all working fine for our forum as well on desktop clients I am a bit clueless where to start now to track this issue down now
-
@julian It's all hosted on a virtual server of our department. Our IT said they have no clue either why this is happening. They know nothing about NodeBB either as this was all setup by me for solely my team and now it's easy for them to say it's something out of their influence. So long story short, nope, that I know of.
-
@schajuli I usually end up using BrowserStack to debug issues like this. I think they have a free tier.
You will have to use BrowserStack Local since, I assume, you're behind a corporate firewall. You should be able to inspect all network traffic and see if any errors occur. You could also try running Android Studio on your desktop, but that's a little more involved.

This has been happening recently on my site as well

True, it looks vers similiar in terms of the unwanted behaviour!
Is there maybe a plugin or so which is causing this issues? Now even more excited to find out what's going on here ... -
I can reproduce the bug if I change the UA on my desktop to Android and it looks like there is quotation marks wrapping these elements

Interessting. How and to what did you change it? For me it seems like it does neither on your site nor on mine make a difference if I change it directly in Chrome. So could not really reproduce. Once there was a loading issue but not sure if that was just a coincidence.

toggle device mode
Indeed, you are right - with the toggled device mode it's again messed up also on Desktop!
-
@y-batvinik Could you find out more?
