How to debug problems with the Divio app?


I am trying to set up the Divio app on Win10 Pro.

I can launch the application, log in, select the workspace folder for my project, so the required dependencies should be fine.

However when I click on "Set up my project", then a new window is opened with a text "Preparing logs...", and an animated "hour-glass" appears next to the "Open Shell" button in the lower-left corner, but that's it. Everything hangs up at this point, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Restarted the computer and the app several times, but with same results.

Any ideas how to work out what is going wrong?


Solution

  • The Divio app is an Electron application, and uses Chromium for the interface.

    You can invoke its Inspector as you would in Chrome itself, using command-option-i on Macintosh and control-shift-i on Linux and Windows.

    The Inspector's Console tab will show any errors, and this will help understand what is happening internally. Typically, they will be errors related to the operating system in some way.
