IPLD Explorer not loading from Blog - Lesson 6 #125
Comments

Thanks for the catch, @RyanBRiley! I get the same perpetual loading symbol that you do. @mikeal Is it obvious to you why this isn't working, or should we be filing a bug in the IPLD Explorer repo?

Nope, maybe @olizilla knows. |

this happens when there is an issue lazy loading the ipld dependency from the gateway, or when the in-browser js-ipfs hasn't managed to share the block created as part of the lesson with the preload nodes. The link to the IPLD explorer has been removed from the success message, or at least, i don't see it. I suggest we close this issue out for now and keep an eye out for similar issues in the future. |

@olizilla I'm guessing you clicked the link above which goes to lesson 1 instead of lesson 6 which is the one in question and does have a link to IPLD explorer. The correct lesson link is: https://proto.school/#/blog/06 and the IPLD Explorer link generated by submitting the right solution is: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYJETQ15RAnKXoJxqpXzcvQ2DuQA35UHwJBTjTPCSs9Ky/#/explore/zdpuAkUysBpAE2yvWdLCBbUqXusYVe5kgFSS7YriyeLfA5F5d I just tried again and still get the spinner. I must confess I'm enough of a beginner that your first paragraph is mostly gibberish to me, so I still don't understand whether there's a problem with this lesson, a problem with the IPLD Explorer, or neither. Any chance you'd have some time this week to give me a quick lesson on IPLD Explorer? |

@olizilla has offered to tackle this with me when he's back home next week, since he's been taking point on IPLD Explorer. |

changed the title
- alias the ipfs dependency to the pre-built bundle. - update link to explore.ipld.io - update ipfs to latest release This ensures the browser friendly ipfs bundle is used. Before this PR we were seeing a bunch of errors when IPFS tried to init, which are caused by trying to get webpack to bundle the node build and not substituting all the browser friendly deps correctly. Luckily, this work is done for us in the ipfs dist build, so just use that. fixes #164 fixes #125 License: MIT Signed-off-by: Oli Evans <[email protected]>

What's confusing about this lesson?
Link to view correct result in IPLD explorer loads the explorer but the result is not viewable. It appears as though it is perpetually loading.
