eval button suddenly stops working, debug console shows IDBDatabase error

[JamesNewton]

Workaround: Copy out your code, close the tab (refresh doesn't help), then re-open DDE4 and paste your code back in again.

Here are the errors found in the console.

This bug was fairly common in 2019/2020 on Chrome and Safari browsers running a variety of apps that used IndexDB (which DDE4 is). It appears to be most common on MacOS and iPhones. Less so more recently, but I haven't seen a definitive fix in newer versions of Chrome. I have submitted an issue to Google about this. In the mean time, if you see this bug, please tell us what version of Chrome you're using. (Google makes it hard for you to detect the version of Chrome you're running because it buries this information in different places in different versions. In July 2023 versions, click the three dots menu in Chrome upper right, Choose "help", then "About".) Here's suggestions that will probably avoid this bug: 1. update Chrome to the latest version. (Again difficult because Google Chrome keeps changing how to do this, but hunt around on the three dots menu.) 2. If you "background Chrome" ie -use another app then come back to Chrome, - close your laptop then reopen, - switch to another Tab in Chrome and come back to DDE, its more likely to happen. So: Before backgrounding DDE, save your work (Choose DDE's File menu/ Save) When re-entering DDE after backgrounding, is when it is most likely to happen. To verify that it has happened, - Click right anywhere in DDE. - Choose Inspect - look in the "Console" (you may have to choose the console tab) - look for red text containing: *Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'transaction' on 'IDBDatabase': The database connection is closing.* If you do see this, you must close the tab and rebrowse *cfry.github.io <http://cfry.github.io>* to get DDE working again. If you have unsaved work in your editor pane, first Choose File Menu/ Save. Worst case: Copy the text from your editor, and save it in another Text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. We recommend saving your work often. Auto-saving is a feature we're working on.
