I bumped the build tool by one patch version. Nothing else changed: no application code, no other dependency. Now the dev server starts fine, the browser loads, and then everything stops with one line in the console: a…
The desktop app I use for testing APIs has stopped opening. I click the icon, the process appears in the task manager for a few seconds, and then it disappears. No window, no crash dialogue, no error message. It worked…
My frontend build fails in CI with an error about a platform specific native package being missing, naming a Linux specific variant of a bundler's internal package. I have never added that package. It is not in my…
After upgrading the framework, every logout link in the application stopped working. Following the link now produces an error, or does nothing, depending on the page. Digging into it, the logout view no longer accepts a…
The application works perfectly when I run it directly and reach it on a local port. Once it is behind a reverse proxy with TLS and a real hostname, any form submission fails CSRF verification. The error varies.…
I have a form with a dropdown that should only offer options belonging to the logged in user's organisation. At the moment it offers every option in the table, which is both wrong and a data leak. Defining the field on…
The application worked fine served directly. I put a reverse proxy in front of it for TLS termination, and now every form submission is rejected the framework reports a CSRF verification failure, and admin login is…
I am struggling with what await actually buys me. Consider two versions of the same function: one calls three asynchronous operations with await on each line, the other is a hypothetical version where the same…
I maintain an application whose framework renders HTML on the server, and it works well. Parts of it now want more interactivity than a page reload gives: live filtering, inline editing, a couple of genuinely dynamic…
Reading around for a standard response shape, the recurring recommendation is an envelope containing a boolean success field, then either data or an error object. This seems redundant. HTTP already carries that…
Small app, maybe 300 signups, everything currently happens inside the request. Sending the welcome email adds about 900ms to signup and generating a PDF invoice takes two to four seconds while the user watches a…
Login returns 200 and the header is definitely in the response, I can see it in the network tab. The very next request goes out with no cookie at all and the API returns 401. On my machine everything works, because the…
GET and POST to the same API work fine from the browser. PATCH gets blocked with the usual message about the preflight response not passing the access control check. If I hit the OPTIONS endpoint with curl I get a 204…
The query is . Without the tenant filter it returns in about 8ms. With it, 300 to 400ms, and worse for small tenants than big ones, which makes no sense to me. Table is around 30 million rows and there's an index on and…
Internal tool, about 40 users, three screens: a filterable table, a detail view, and a form that kicks off a job. Two weeks of my time, and I'm on my own. My instinct is to server render it and add a bit of JS where…
