Standalone gallery: saved with collections excluded (occasionally?) loads up blank

[joonaspaakko]

The issue seems to be that it's still looking for the collections data file and that is causing some kinda conflict. Should be pretty easy to fix.

Navigating to another page or refreshing the current page should get you around the issue.

The only proper workaround in versions 0.2.7 and 0.2.8 would be to save the gallery with collections...

Yea, I just started experiencing this.

Initially there is a JS error in console that says the collections.xxxxxx.js is 404, but I'm seeing some other missing files too.

When I initially load the standalone page it redirects to /*/library, but shows 0 books. If I then click on Library in the header or reload the page then my books show up.

If you watch the Sources panel before and after reloading the page you'll see 4 files get added:

book.js
grid-view.js
book.css
grid-view.css

@christianboyle, I think the other files were just a chain reaction to the missing collections file (error or no error). The collection file is loaded before those files are loaded and so when it's missing, it creates a blockage preventing basically anything past that point.

It will most likely be at least a month before the next real release will come out and that is probably too generous of an estimate.

I made a build of the extension that should have this issue fixed, so if this is a big issue for you, you might as well install this build for now:

1. Export your existing data into a JSON file.
2. Disable the current extension (to avoid conflicts). No need to remove it, in fact it might be better to keep it.
3. Download this build audible-library-extractor-v0.2.8-issue81-hotfix.zip
4. Then follow these dev release installation instructions (at the very bottom — expand: read more...),
   • except in step 0 use the hotfix you downloaded above.
5. Import the old JSON data

This build so was somewhat hastily checked, but it's the first change since the last version so assuming the pages load up, you shouldn't end up with more issues. I did check various standalone gallery configurations and it seemed to be loading just fine.

@joonaspaakko Awesome, this new hotfix build works as expected. Thanks for the quick fix!
