Browser disconnects (inline evaluation stops) when a tab is reordered or closed #9

@chronologicaldot

Description

@chronologicaldot

This concerns the in-program browser tab. I have been able to successfully load it and activate it such that it allows for inline evaluation of the scripts. However, after it is connected, I cannot move (reorder) or close a tab without the browser tab becoming disconnected and no longer allowing inline evaluation.

** Light Table Info **
Main branch.
Version 0.8.1
Binary version 0.34.5
This issue appears to have never been reported according to the Github issues list.

** Steps to reproduce the behavior: **

  1. Create a new file
  2. Save the file as "file.js"
  3. Press Ctrl + Space
  4. Type in "connect" in the side bar that appears and select "add connection" option
  5. Select "Browser" from the new options list that appears
  6. Select the tab for "file.js"
  7. Type in "a=5;" and press Ctrl+Enter to verify that inline evaluation works
  8. Create a new file
  9. Move the new file tab to before the browser tab
  10. Select the "file.js" tab
  11. Start a new line and then repeat Step 7

The result is that at step 11, LightTable finds itself in a busy loop (the loader icon at the bottom turns on but nothing happens).
** Expected Behavior **
The line created in step 11 should perform evaluation like in step 7.

** Desktop **

  • OS: Linux Mint
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version: 26 and higher

** Other Info **
Closing the browser tab and creating a new connection is a workaround.
The LightTable package was downloaded and built from the available sourcecode on Github.
