Dependency problem to build ocsigen-start without dead buttons

ruyblast · March 9, 2020, 5:56pm

Hi !
I opam installed ocsigen-start 2.7. I can build the app, but all buttons does not trigger anything when clicked (except for the main page linked which reload the page). It seems to be a js_of_ocaml problem since I can go to service http://localhost:8080/demo-popup when I type the url (and here again clicking the button does not trigger the popup).
Here is what I did, on a fresh 4.7.1 ocaml switch:

opam install ocsigen-start

So you can see I could install succesfully eliom 6.9.1 and then ocsigen-start 2.7. I installed external dependencies:

$ opam depext ocsigen-start
# a few debugs...
# OS packages installation successful

An finally, I could build the project with

eliom-distillery -name os27 -template os.pgocaml
cd os27
make db-init
make db-create
make db-schema
make test.byte

And then I got the result I explained at the beginning. I checked downloaded ocsigen-start was written with Js_of_ocaml 3.4 syntax.
What do you think is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Indeed if buttons do not work it means that the client side program failed.
Either the js file cannot be found or an exception is raised.
Have a look in the browser console to get more information.

ruyblast · March 12, 2020, 9:17am

Hi Vincent_balat, thanks for your answer !

Indeed I could have mention this. Js file is included, and their is one single error printed on console: TypeError: a is undefined

To be more accurate if it is relevant, here is the details from that error:

TypeError: a is undefined os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:1425:16
    caml_compare_val_tag http://localhost:8080/os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:1425
    caml_compare_val http://localhost:8080/os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:1448
    caml_equal http://localhost:8080/os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:3644
    <anonyme> http://localhost:8080/os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:44780
    <anonyme> http://localhost:8080/os27_b6cccceeef0af3815bb9981c395d225e.js:70118

And here is kind of a traceback I can give following given links:

function caml_compare_val_tag(a)
     {if...
     else
            if(a.caml_custom)
             return 1255;

function caml_compare_val(a,b,total)
	 ...
	 var tag_b=caml_compare_val_tag(b);

function caml_equal(x,y){return + (caml_compare_val(x,y,false) == 0)}

caml_equal
     (function(t9,param){return t9.__eliom_appl_process_info}(window,_LN_),
      undefined$0);

(function(){return this}()));

It does not mean anything to me. I remember I encountered such error on a 2.4 ocsigen-start after I added never called code (with a db-request and a functor), but I could not identify accurately the source of the bug. Any idea on a direction I could explore ?

Vincent_Balat · March 12, 2020, 12:13pm

Ok thank you. Indeed it is an incompatibility between you version of js_of_ocaml and eliom.
Just upgrade to the very last versions and it should be ok.

ruyblast · March 12, 2020, 4:25pm

The very last version of Eliom ?
Thank you a lot !

Vincent_Balat · March 12, 2020, 7:58pm

Yes, last versions of everything.
The best way to avoid compatibility problems is to stay up-to-date.
Otherwise some libraries may change and become incompatible.

ruyblast · March 13, 2020, 11:28am

Indeed a simple opam update followed by an opam upgrade made it work perfectly fine.
Thanks again for your help !
Have a very good day
