Cryosparc webapp requires refresh to load

Hi,
I have an issue after updating to csparc 4.0.0. When I go to the “Projects” view, projects do not load. However, if I refresh the website a few times it will work at some point. Issue persists even when I ssh into the server running csparc and run Chrome on the server side. Most elements in the “Home” page also do not load properly: Processing History, Jobs By Status, Lane Usage take a few page refreshes to load. Tutorials and Guides etc never load, despite refreshing. Downgrade to 3.4.0 fixes all the issues.

Welcome to the forum @rybaosinski.
A screencast showing the behavior would be helpful, but may be out of the question following downgrade to 3.4.
It is possible that logs may contain some pre-downgrade information. If you wish, you may create an archive of the CryoSPARC logs:

tar zcfv cryosparc_logs_$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).tgz /path/to/cryosparc_master/run/*.log

and send us the tgz file in an email.

Thanks, @wtempel
Yes, I downgraded to 3.4 to see if it is version specific. I then went to 4.0.0, 4.0.1, now I am back at 4.0.0. I made some screenshots, but I don’t think they will be particularly helpful. See e-mail with the logs. I pulled them right after I induced the issue. Replication is easy - open new browser tab with cryosparc, click on “All projects” and there it is (or rather, is not).

this sounds acutally similar to what i experience now in this thread

is it showing up correctly after pressing refresh, then cancel the refresh and pressing refresh again in browser?

cheers

I also met this trouble of requirement of manual refreshing in browser after I imported a whole project in v3.1 from other computer to ours in v3.3, although the job seems to be working well. Any solution for us?

Yes, I just hit refresh randomly until it works.
Also, if I avoid going into the “Home” page, issue does not happen. (i.e. I copy the link to the project and paste it into a new tab).

I see this too. Sometimes the page loads eventually. It can be triggered sometimes by opening and minimizing a job, but occurs much more frequently after downloading a map.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear you’re having issues running the application. First, try restarting the CryoSPARC instance: cryosparcm restart. To help us debug, when you get to the homepage and the application freezes, please email the output of cryosparcm errorreport and a screenshot of your browser console log (right click → ‘inspect element’) to feedback@structura.bio.

Are you all running v4.0.1? We included a fix in this version that may resolve the issue on some instances.

Yes, this is v4.0.1. I’ve been seeing it all along in the 4.x series, but previously only after downloading a map or when the page has been idle for a long time (multiple sleep/wake cycles on my Macbook). Now I’m seeing it much more frequently though, e.g. when closing the job modal etc. Also for me a refresh is approximately 100% reliable. Rarely it takes 2. Will email the logs.

yes, it is v4.0.1. In my case, refreshing doesn’t work at all.

Hi @xzhang2017 , we need more information to debug this. Please follow my instructions listed above.

Thanks!

This may be a different trouble from others here. It should a spawn error of database. I just solved this problem by stopping the cryosparc, killing the process of mongod, then removing the mongod.lock and finally restarting it.

Just to add that I have the same issue.

But it only happens after I download a map.

Hi @LTP ,

Thanks for reporting. I believe that is a separate issue in Firefox that we have since corrected and will be fixed in the next release.

- Suhail

updated to v4.02, but still cannot load database using firefox (see the screenshot below). It shows a completely balnk window when use a google-chrome browser.

Thanks!

Hi all,

We released CryoSPARC v4.0.3 today which includes a fix to ensure the application doesn’t become unresponsive when attempting to load the homepage. Please update when you get a chance!

- Suhail

It works properly now, thank you!
