Spector.js stopped working today on Chrome Linux

[elalish]

It was working just fine, I'd just looked at a capture, then I went to take another and suddenly it would no longer list my offscreen canvases. I restarted Chrome, and now the Spector.js symbol is red, but if I click it, it doesn't turn green, it just gives me the generic "manage this extension" menu. I'm on Chrome 79 on a Debian-like Linux desktop.

whoooot so weird... Do you see any errors ? in the console or anything that could help troubleshooting ?

[sebavan]

As it works on both Win and Mac, might it be a Chrome issue ?

Also I wonder if you had an update of the extensions during your capture, you could try closing the browser and reopen just to see

[elalish]

There's nothing in the console; not sure where I'd look for extension errors. It's giving me the exact same behavior now on Chrome on my Macbook Pro as well.

I've tried restarting the browser, to no avail. Here is one of the sites I'm testing, which used to work fine: https://modelviewer.dev/

So it does not work on windows as well and probably cause the rendering does not happen in a direct way, I ll have a look shortly. maybe it relies on offscreen canvas or similar.

[sebavan]

Does it work for you on https://playground.babylonjs.com/ on Linux ???

[sebavan]

On the three js model viewer it looks like offscreenCanvas is in use:

Which we do not support so we can not activate the extension as we do not think there are any canvases in the page.

[elalish]

Ack, you're right! We made a switch to enable offscreen canvas this morning. I didn't even realize it, but this must have happened when I pulled in that change.

I ll close this one as a dup of #90 then. And I wish Santa will bring me time for Christmas :-)
