Problem opening Lightbox using openLightbox. Sourcemap problem?

@yisrael-wix @alexander-wix @chaim-kram
I am not able to programatically load a lightbox. I note that sourcemaps are not loading correctly which might be a symptom of the problem:


In the Chrome devtools and with console.logs to try to trace the problem I am able to detect that the openLightbox call is being made and that the code page for the lightbox is executed BUT the lightbox doesn’t display. I am not seeing any console errors from the Wix backend (other than the sourceMap error) or using Site Monitoring to suggest why the Lightbox is not being rendered.

When the page completes its rendering in the browser I also note that the site maps are not loaded and the related boltWorkers all state “?empty-if-missing=true”. How do I go about resolving this?

Cheers

Happening out of the blue for other source maps on my site. This kind of thing seems to be a weekly occurrence with Wix. Twice in the past I’ve had to submit tickets to get them to pay attention. I have zero confidence in the stability of the platform, unfortunately it was a group choice to use it.

Hi @stevesoftwareservice , @jdavis , I’ve examined the lightbox situation and I can’t replicate what you’re seeing. Is it still occurring? If so, can you please send me your site(s) so I can look specifically at what’s going on? Thanks.

Hi chaim.

My suspicion is that the Wix Editor team had pushed out an update which has since been updated again. It seems the correct webworkers are now being loaded and this doesn’t seem to be happening any more.

Regards
Steve

Went away a few days after a ticket submit. Wix never did reply to the ticket.

@jdavis Fortunately the people squashing bugs at Wix are much better informed than the people managing tickets. If you do not have access to the Partners forum and wish to report a serious bug, @ me and I will make sure it gets to the right people ASAP.

@skmedia Thanks. Went away working on a C++ project with a real IDE, was such a pleasure. Simple things missing, like standard right mouse copy/paste that wix fails to support in a code editor would be a big improvement. At some future time, I’ll try to remember to post a list to you.

@jdavis Sure. I would recommend you try out Corvid local development. It may be in Alpha, but it’s been quite stable for me. Being able to work with visual studio and atom is much more efficient for me. Just make sure you have a recent build of NodeJS.
