Solved Wekan not loading in Firefox on Android mobile

[jdaviescoates]

Is anyone else having this issue? (want to check it's not just me because I report upstream)

Wekan doesn't seem to load at all when I visit it using Firefox on Android mobile browser. No login screen, nothing. If I 'request desktop version' I can login and then if I turn that off I see the mobile version for moment, but then just a blank screen

Seems to work fine on Chrome, but I use Firefox (because 1) I trust Mozilla more than Google, and 2) because addons work so I can block ads with ublock origin)

Can you switch to the mobile version successfully in Firefox for Desktop (Linux, Mac, Windows)?

[jdaviescoates]

@Hillside502 yes, if I go to e.g. https://projects.uniteddiversity.coop on Firefox Desktop on Ubuntu Linux and then go to Web Developer -> Responsive Design Mode it displays fine.

Could it be something to do with Android and Desktop versions having separated some time ago --- currently 68.7.0 and 75.0 respectively?

@jdaviescoates Can confirm. Chrome on Android works but not Firefox on Android. One thing is that upstream https://boards.wekan.team itself works on firefox, so maybe this is some packaging issue? Anyone know how to debug mobile firefox?

I'm pretty sure it used to work, so perhaps a recent update broke it somehow

How about?

From this release on we use the upstream LDAP module instead of a Cloudron specific

@girish
Just to say that https://boards.wekan.team/ works on both Firefox Mobile and Desktop (unclear above).

A difference between that and a Cloudron deployment is that "team" hides behind Cloudflare's apron strings.

Significantly, "team" has a B security rating --- compared to all Cloudrons' A+
(Most Cloudflare sites are A)

Even if my detail turns out to be irrelevant to the problem in hand, it is still significant.

Just to add a couple more info.

This issue was already present before the update to 4.0.0. Sorry hadn't had time to report when I noticed it. Glad @jdaviescoates did
And for me it works fine with Chromium on Android.

Just to give an update, I managed to hook up my Android phone with Firefox Preview and Firefox Developer Edition on my laptop. The error is:

ReferenceError: meteorBabelHelpers is not defined
dc3b91ad65e0894f225e38cb103ee2129b21f9f1.js:212:1958
There is no route for the path: / dc3b91ad65e0894f225e38cb103ee2129b21f9f1.js:190:5910

Not sure yet what that means, anyone has some hints or knowledge about meteor or babel?

Apparently the fix is packaging related https://github.com/wekan/wekan/commit/1235363465b824d26129d4aa74a4445f362c1a73
Will see how we can do this in our package.

@nebulon thanks investigating and for the update, looking forward to being able to use Wekan on Firefox Android again soon!

[nebulon]

I pushed a new app package update, which fixes the issue.

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon great, thanks!
