api documentation is broken

[ribrdb]

I recently started getting errors when I try to use the api docs. Some classes load fine and others give errors. It doesn't seem to be consistent either. Earlier today I could not load the docs for EventTarget. Now I can open EventTarget but other classes throw errors, like Delay. Here is the error I get: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property '0' of string 'g' at af (dossier.js:95) at dossier.js:95 at Array.forEach () at t (dossier.js:9) at $e (dossier.js:95) at dossier.js:7 at Array.forEach () at t (dossier.js:9) at I (dossier.js:94) at new Tf (dossier.js:106)

This is not fixed. I still randomly get javascript errors at https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/ and the documentation fails to load.

What page(s) are giving you errors and in what browser(s)?

[ribrdb]

I'm using chrome. My teammate has also seen the same issue on chrome. It's really inconsistent. Sometimes a page will load, but none of the links do anything when you click on them. Sometimes it's the search results that are broken. Once the page for a class loaded but all the methods were missing. When I reloaded the page it worked.

for what it's worth, I sometimes get errors like

The FetchEvent for "https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/goog.Delay.html" resulted in a network error response: the promise was rejected.
serviceworker.js:2 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'ServiceWorkerGlobalScope': 'only-if-cached' can be set only with 'same-origin' mode
    at serviceworker.js:2
    at <anonymous>

so it might be a service worker caching issue, which would explain the non-determinism

Could be service worker. I just hit this again. In the console I see two of the stack traces I originally posted, then "Service Worker termination by a timeout timer was canceled because DevTools is attached." I opened a new tab, typed DateTime into the search box, and clicked on goog.date.DateTime. Nothing visibly happened but I found the error in the console after. Not sure if it's relevant but I have 3 other tabs open on the docs.

Also I tried reloading the page, didn't fix it in this case. But manually changing the url from https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/ to https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/goog.date.DateTime.html did fix it.

Take a look at: https://google.github.io/closure-library/api/goog.module.html

The doc is empty, but when I go to source it has description: https://github.com/google/closure-library/blob/master/closure/goog/base.js#L378

This probably has to with the fact that goog.module is a function and a namespace.
