Intermittent UI clears out - DevTools was disconnected from the page v2

mnaoumov · May 26, 2023, 4:23pm

Steps to reproduce

The issue is intermittent. No idea how to reproduce it for sure.

Expected result

UI doesn’t clear out and app is fully usable.

Actual result

Sometimes all over sudden, the UI clears out and becomes totally white.

If the DevTools window is open we can see DevTools was disconnected from the page error.

Then I have to kill the Obsidian process and start it over.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

Additional information

As this issue is intermittent, I can’t replicate it on the Sandbox vault.

I think it is an Electron failure but I can’t find anything useful in the logs.

Can anyone suggest me how to troubleshoot this issue?

So far the investigation is the following:

Set environment variables ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING and ELECTRON_ENABLE_STACK_DUMPING to true
Run Obsidian from the console (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Obsidian\Obsidian.exe)
So far when I ran the app like that it stopped crashing
But when I ran it as usual using shortcut it crashed pretty soon
Going to let it go running from the console for a while until it crashes again, so I can see the crash report in the console.

But honestly, I think Obsidian’s developers have to catch such Electron crashes and at least record them in the log file…

Do you know what the processes were trying to uncompress? Or doing checksums for?

And it’s way more likely that one of your plugins is misbehaving, rather than electron. I’m not saying electron isn’t misbehaving, but there is a reason why it’s wanted for you to provoke the error in the sandbox vault.

So you would benefit from trying to narrow it down, so you should seriously consider using the divide and conquer plugin, and try to locate any offending plugins.

I’ve managed to reproduce the issue in Restricted mode.

It seems to be related with vaults with huge amount of notes and folders and their rendering in Files pane.

Usually I use Files pane in Collapse All mode but when I am use Expand All and Files: Reveal current file in navigation commands, I am getting the abovementioned error.

I tried to reproduce the error in the sandbox vault, but I couldn’t make it crash yet. I just made it very slow and unusable

If you enable Verbose level in DevTools console you can see

[Violation] 'mousedown' handler took 1815ms
[Violation] 'mousemove' handler took 174ms
[Violation] Forced reflow while executing JavaScript took 1679ms
8[Violation] 'focus' handler took <N>ms
app.js:1 [Violation] 'mousedown' handler took 150ms
app.js:1 [Violation] 'keydown' handler took 281ms
[Violation] Forced reflow while executing JavaScript took 31670ms
[Violation] Forced reflow while executing JavaScript took 44546ms

I am attaching the archived version of the vault. Zip doesn’t handle it very well. The archived version by Zip archiver is 15 Mb which I couldn’t upload to the forum.
I had to use 7zip archiver and then additionally archive it by Zip in order to allow the forum to upload the file.

Nothing really special about this vault. It just has 100k notes and some instructions how to get the memory leak. This vault should be enough for the Obsidian developers to troubleshoot the performance issues.

Thanks.

I am unable to reproduce the crash and I don’t see any memory abnormality.

Download and reinstall Obsidian, post a screen recording of this happening in the vault you provided.

Also be aware of https://www.electronjs.org/blog/v8-memory-cage. But we are nowhere close these limits in the example you provided.

I could not replicate the crash yet, but I could replicate how slow Obsidian is. Reveal current file takes over a minute

Obsidian is freshly reinstalled

The slowness of " Reveal current file" falls under performance improvements. You can open a separate BR to track specifically that. It won’t be a priority issue.
