Bug: Files won't send in extension
Hello,
I've noticed this bug for a while now but it's finally gotten to me. As it stand, if I click the extension icon, click my phone, and hit "send a file to your device." I can pick a file from my file system but it won't send. However, if I first it the popout window then it will send fine.
Any chance we could fix this? :)
Thanks for the report. What OS are you on?
This is on the latest version of Solus Budgie. Chrome 69 (but was happening on earlier versions)
Lmk what else I can do to help you debug this.
Thanks

If I right click and inspect on the little browser action page (which makes the page stay open) then the file will send like normal.
I see! Seems like it's something specific to that OS, because on Windows the little page stays open and that probably makes it work.
Does drag and dropping onto the window work for you?
If I open the poput like this and then drag and drop it works for you.
I can try spinning this up in a Ubuntu VM and see if the issue is there as well?
Yes please! :)
Okay so it turns out the behavior is actually different in Linux Mint (which I happen to already have a vm of so I used that).
It won't let me send files at all from the extension here's what happens: I tried looking at the console for any errors/network failures but nothing showed up
Thank you very much for testing it out! What if you force close chrome and then do the drag-and-drop test right away? Maybe something is getting stuck on that first attempt...
I rebooted the vm, tried the drag and drop on the first time, and same result.
Thanks, but just to clarify, did you try the drag and drop on the popout (not the icon popup)?
That is correct. The popout not the popup
Thank you. Can you please do this:
- go into Chrome
- settings
- extensions
- enable developer mode
- click on join.html
- go to the console tab
- send a file through drag and drop
- see if an error appears in the console
Thanks!
Ah as it turns out there actually is an error on the Mint VM. Before I even try to pushanything I get this error
Then when I try to send a file I get this:
I ran the "Test" feature in options and everything said it was okay
Thanks again. Does it help if you uninstall and re-install the extension?
After uninstalling and reinstalling it is working for the popup but not the popout.
Thanks. Can you please let me know if there are any errors when you use the popout?
My apologies, it works for the popout (when I click the arrow and get a new window) but not the popup (when I click the icon in the tool bar and a little window shows). When I inspect the popup I don't get any errors and if I send the files with the dev tools opens it sends fine ( I suspect because dev tools forces the popup to stay open). But when dev tools isn't open it won't send.
Oh I see... Thanks, I'll try to figure out what it could be. Thanks for all the testing!
same thing here thought i am the only one, then it happen what happens to me is after a while using the browser it doesn't send any file only if i restart the browser i check the DIAGNOSTICS when the bug happen and the Join's server fail if u need any more info about the bug ill try my best to help
