Validity makes me unable to close Chrome

Open jacobsvante opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

Sometimes while developing a webpage with Flask and using the built-in Werkzeug debugger I notice that Chrome becomes unresponsive. I also noticed that the Validity icon in the address bar is acting really strange, resetting every few milliseconds or so, causing it to look very choppy. The weirdest thing is that I can't even close down Chrome. I have to force close it multiple times for it to work. I've had Validity uninstalled for quite a while now just because of this bug, and during that time I have not had this issue. Since reinstalling it in Chrome two days ago I've already noticed it five times.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm using OS X Yosemite on a MBP 2015 13" retina.

Hi

Thanks for reporting this. I'd appreciate it if you could clarify a couple of points to help me in reproducing this:

  1. What version of Chrome are you using? (Version and stable/dev/canary channel?)
  2. Are you running your flask app on localhost?
  3. Do you have auto validate enabled in Validity?
  4. Are you using the default validator instance or your own hosted version?
  5. What is the icon resetting from and to? (i.e. Validity logo, red/green results or spinner)

Thanks

Hi Renyard,

  1. What version of Chrome are you using? (Version and stable/dev/canary channel?) Chrome stable 42.0.2311.135
  2. Are you running your flask app on localhost? I use a special .dev top-domain with the help of dnsmasq
  3. Do you have auto validate enabled in Validity? Yes, for this host
  4. Are you using the default validator instance or your own hosted version? It's installed through the Chrome Web Store
  5. What is the icon resetting from and to? (i.e. Validity logo, red/green results or spinner) Starts with spinner(s) and never finishes (on the Werkzeug debugger page)

Hope this helped

Thanks for the info. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, but I'm having a busy week. I hope to have a look into this next week.

That would be great! For now I've had to disable automatic validation on my page.

Hi

Sorry for the delay on this, but I've been unable to reproduce. (I've been running it on a couple of Retina MBPs)

From the information you've given, it sounds like it could be an issue with the animation of the icon, so I've created a build with the animation disabled and another, static icon in it's place. Would you mind downloading and running this build for a bit to see if the issue still appears?

You will need to disable the Chrome Store installed version and then load the unzipped directory via developer mode. There's full instructions for this in the Chrome Extension docs. (Afterwards, you can remove and re-enable the Chrome Store version to continue receiving updates.)

Thanks
