Embedded Glitch logs not refreshing

Glitch Feedback
1

My Glitch logs are not loading for inside the embedded editor.

Here is a working example:

Now, repeat the same actions on the project itself: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/embedded-glitch-project Note that editing the console.log statements there properly triggers a build / log refresh.

A few points of note:

  • I could not repeat the bug with vanilla Express. Maybe this is related to this particular (pre-release) package? (It wraps Express)
  • I reviewed the technical restrictions but do not seem to be in violation.
  • Boosting the app does not solve the issue.
  • Code changes do, in fact, persist, and the app appears to be updating instantly. The logs / refresh status, however, not.

Any ideas?

Its a bit tricky for users without access to the project to replicate this. Could you record a video possibly?

Sorry, I thought those were public projects.

Here’s the action shot:

I think you’re missing the part where the project is supposed to listen on port 3000.

Can you show us your package.json?

Thanks @khalby786. The app currently is listening on port 3000. Should it listen elsewhere?

Here is package.json. Vanilla Glitch Express + one npm package.

The weird thing is the discrepancy with the embedded editor and the stand-alone editor. Shouldn’t these operate identically?

{
  "//1": "describes your app and its dependencies",
  "//2": "https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json",
  "//3": "updating this file will download and update your packages",
  "name": "hello-express",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "A simple Node app built on Express, instantly up and running.",
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "mailbots": "^2.0.0"
  },
  "engines": {

Hmmm, looks like a bug. I’d suggest you send an email to support@glitch.com!

Thanks. Just pinged them.

Embedded glitch projects are a bit different in ways like how you can’t download the entire projects. I think this could be for security so this may be intentional.

Maybe, but quietly hiding console.log output isn’t very friendly. The behavior is also inconsistent – remote editor logs work with some libs and silently fails with others.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! This was a bug on our side that should now be fixed.

If you see this happening again, let us know!
