I'm getting frequent "syncer-browser-tiddlyweb - Error retrieving skinny tiddler list: XMLHttpRequest error code 0" errors.

I run 3 node.js Tiddlywikis in 3 browser tabs, continuously.  Often, after I wake my laptop from sleep, they all three report this error.  I haven't observed any data loss, but I don't usually save data and then quickly slam the lid of my laptop shut.

1. Should I be alarmed?
2. It is kinda a bother to have to close them so often.  Can I (safely) suppress them?

TIA

Hi Kevin

Those errors are the result of the browser tab being suspending and resumed. We should suppress those errors, but it’s hard to reliably distinguish between true errors and expected errors, so TiddlyWiki currently dutifully displays them to be on the safe side. My own habit at the moment is to refresh the browser tab when I return to one with such errors.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thank you for your reply.

What about re-trying in the event of an error?  Or maybe delaying a few seconds if the network is down?

My laptop is accessing 3 node.js Tiddlywikis which hosted on a server.  I don't mean to be a whiner, but every time my laptop goes wakes from sleep, I have to refresh all those tabs.

TIA

Hi Kevin

It’s the “detecting the network is down” bit that the code doesn’t currently do: we need new code that hasn’t been written yet that can distinguish between a genuine error and the network coming or going.

My laptop is accessing 3 node.js Tiddlywikis which hosted on a server.  I don't mean to be a whiner, but every time my laptop goes wakes from sleep, I have to refresh all those tabs.

I’m sure many of us run into this. A solution for the core is not an insignificant undertaking because error handling tends to be different on different browsers, and so will need extensive testing on a variety of operating systems.
