Thread: [pgadmin-support] pgAdmin 4 v1.3 fails to load

What is so important to switch from pgAdmin 3 to 4?
I'downloaded from sourceforge something called "pgAdmin3-portable" and it works ok on Win 8.1 64 bits (but as a 32 bit app, I think) and connects without trouble with a 9.4 backend running on Linux.

Peter,

Have you heard of any solution to this problem.  I have found pgAdmin 4 v1.3 is completely unusable on Windows 7 64 bit.  I have found that pgAdmin 4 v1.1 is stable.  I am currently using that version.  Do you think they are not testing at all on Windows 7 64 bit?  There website says it is available for Windows 7 (desktop).  I wonder if they have been testing it against Windows 10 but have not updated their web site.

Subject: [pgadmin-support] pgAdmin 4 v1.3 fails to load

 

Hello,

 

At start up the program window opens & displays “Loading pgAdmin 4 v1.3”.

 

Case 1:

Sometimes displays error msg:

  error loading script /browser/role/module.js    Error msg: undefined

  or

  error loading script /debugger/js/direct    Error msg: undefined

and never completes loading

 

Case 2:

Sometimes does not display any error msg but never completes loading.

 

Case 3:

If I start the program with ‘Run as Administrator’, sometimes it completes loading OK & works fine,

other times I get Case 2 behaviour.

 

The debug log has repeated msgs:

[0322/131833:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(311)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

 

OS = Win 7   SP1 64 bit

desktop mode??  I’m running the downloaded executable

Steps required to reproduce the problem: run the pgAdmin 4 v1.3 executable.

 

I would appreciate any guidance on how to fix this issue.

 

Kind regards,

Peter Johnson

Dave,
I did exactly what you said.  I totally delete the application.  Deleted all directories from the file system.  Then I
reinstalledit.  It hung on startup.  I then had to stop it via task manager.  Then I loaded it the second time.  It
thenran.  The next time I tried to start it the application hung.  
 

I have never ever had any issue with pgAdmin 3.  I don't have any of these issues with pgAdmin4 v1.1 .  

Lance

I test against both Windows 10 and 7, and occasionally 2012. As you can see from the attached screenshot, 1.3 works for
me.

I would suggest trying a complete uninstall of the application, ensure the installation directory is removed, then
re-install.

I'm still struggling to reproduce the issues myself, but all the
evidence suggests it was the move from QtWekKit to QtWebEngine that
caused it (that happened in 1.2). We did that because of numerous
other bugs in QtWebKit, and because QtWebKit has been deprecated and
removed from current versions of Qt. Unfortunately it seems that
whilst QtWebEngine solves the original problems, it has it's own set.

We're currently trying a PoC with another option, as well as thinking
through some other ideas...

Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Dave,

Just to follow up your previous advice: I have done a complete uninstall of 
the application, ensured
the installation directory is removed, then re-installed. I tried starting & 
stopping pgAdmin 4 a few
times before re-booting & then again after re-booting my system.

In both cases, before & after re-booting, pgAdmin 4 loaded successfully 
about 50% of the time &
didn't load in the other cases. In the unsuccessful load cases, most, but 
not all, times there was an error msg.
"Error loading script". But the nominated script varied each time.

Thanks for your continuing investigations.

Kind regards,
Peter Johnson

I just upgraded to 4.1.3 and am having the same issues. Windows 7 pro,
x64, Postgres 9.6.2. Prior version of pgadmin 4 worked OK. (I skipped
the 4.1.2 upgrade, using pgadmin 3 instead to do what I needed.)

Same error; various scripts fail to load. It seems to fail more often if
the system is busy with cpu or disk activity already going on.

All,

Please try one of the Mac/Windows test builds at
https://developer.pgadmin.org/~dpage/. I would strongly advise doing a
complete uninstall before installing, to ensure no old, unused files
are left behind.

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

So far, so good. I uninstalled & removed everything from previous pgAdmin 4 
and installed your new executable.
Have started & stoped it 3 or 4 times, & loaded OK each time.

(BTW, in my removal, I found a pgAdmin log file that was big, over 1.3GB. 
Not sure if that's relevant in any way to the to the load issue. There is 
still space on the disk.)

Thanks for your support on this issue. I'll advise if anything changes.


Regards,
Peter Johnson

Thanks Peter. You can adjust the log level by creating a
config_local.py file alongside config.py in your installation. Add the
lines in-between the === marks to the file:

======
from config import *
import logging

CONSOLE_LOG_LEVEL = logging.WARNING
FILE_LOG_LEVEL = logging.WARNING
======

Those are the default settings in current releases though - it's
possible much of your log file is from a much earlier release, before
we dialled down the defaults. You might want to check that in
config.py.

Hello,

I had pretty much the same problem as Peter and this version solved it.

Thanks.

I just loaded pgAdmin 4 v1.6 and I'm running into the same issue reported
here with pgAdmin opening, then sitting at the "Loading pgAdmin 4 v1.6"
spinning wheel.  I'm running it on Windows 7 64-bit OS.  I've already
changed the following config.py setting as I'm not running it on a
webserver:

SERVER_MODE = True

I changed it to False and saved.

Other than that, is there anything else that I need to do to get it working?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, I found the problem.  I had to right click on the shortcut, go to the
