Doesn't work with Safari

[kgrossjo]

I installed Laverna on my VPS and with Firefox on OSX I see the UI and I can use it. With Safari on OSX I see the background (white area on the left for the list of notes, grey area on the right for the currently selected note), but there is nothing in it, just the two areas.

Using Mavericks and the Safari that comes with it.

I experience the same issue with Safari.

Is it something to do with it being WebKit-based rather than Gecko-based? You could test that theory by trying to open Laverna in Midori browser, which is also Webkit-based.

[wwebfor]

I think its because Laverna uses IndexedDB, but Safari currently doesn't support it.

It doesn't work at all in Firefox private mode neither.
It's probably a weird test, but there's not event a message to explain it.

@sa3m ,

IndexedDB is completely disabled in the privacy modes of browsers (Private Browsing mode for Firefox and Incognito mode for Chrome).
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/IndexedDB/Using_IndexedDB
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781982

[sa3m]

Ok, that's probably why I thought it was a weird test :)
But like I said, there is no error message. I think that would be a good start !

Now in Midori browser works fine, in theory it should also work in Safari.

I believe that I may close this issue now.

After upgrading to OS X 10.10, I am unable to use Laverna on Safari 8. Here is my complete user-agent string: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10) AppleWebKit/600.1.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/600.1.25".

Logged on the console is: "NotFoundError: DOM IDBDatabase Exception 8: An operation failed because the requested database object could not be found."

Please see the attached screenshot for more information. Thanks.

Is this project dead already?

And: it still doesn't work on Safari, OSX 10.10.2

NotFoundError: DOM IDBDatabase Exception 8: An operation failed because the requested database object could not be found.

It does not work for Safari for me too... Safari 7.1.3, OS X 10.9.5

Thought, I too should probably add another related issue, which is:
The App also doesn't work on the mobile version of safari, or rather Safari on the iPhone (iOS 7) & iPad (iOS 9.1-13B143/Latest Version). Both show the same thing as discussed in the issue above that is, they just show the menu & a blank white background. Nothing else. Although the menu seems to be working fine.
One more obvious thing is, that it of course doesn't work on the Mac OSX (Mavericks) Safari too. When using Chrome on Mac OSX, it works fantastically.

• -I tested it on the above mentioned devices using my own copy of the latest version of the App hosted on my server as well as the App's officially deployed version in its homepage. The issue persists without a clue as to what the problem might be.

I hope that helps. By the way, the new & improved UI is fantastic & it made me fall in love with Laverna, all over again!
Thanks to the developers; for devoting your precious time to create something as brilliant as this.

@sheafferusa Thanks for your kind words. We are planning to release a stable version tomorrow which will probably resolve this issue with Safari.

It still does not work at least on my mobile and desktop Safari/webkit based browsers as mentioned above. I use the official version at laverna.cc . I get the Loading... message and nothing happens for minutes. I did not check the console yet, because i thought it was a connection problem.

[wwebfor]

@suchkultur sad to hear it. It's a little hard to track down what is happening since we can't install Safari. We checked on Midori though, and it works there. We'll try to figure it out later.

[kekscode]

@wwebfor I had the chance to check what's happening in the web console (Safari dev tools). I See:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'n.createInstance')

in line 14 of db.js . Maybe i can help tracking this issue down?

[wwebfor]

@suchkultur it seems like it cannot find localForage on Safari for some reason.

We were able to reproduce and fix this issue with Epiphany browser. We have tested it on Safari (on Saucelabs) and everything seems to be working. If the bug still persists, we can re-open the issue.

@ota1977, please try to open https://laverna.cc/nightly. We fixed this issue in this pre-release.

[ota1977]

Hi wwebfor, it's very good to know that this problem will be fixed soon, since I really like Laverna.
I could open https://laverna.cc/nightly with Safari on my Mac.

[howardroark2018]

@wwebfor Fantastic! Thanks a lot boss, for the wonderful work that you guys have done, and I am particularly happy that you guys finally crushed the bug/issue that had been troublesome since some time. Really, thanks a lot. It just works! Long live Open Source and Laverna, both! Cheers!
:)
