AddObject problem

[Bendersnetch]

Hello i'm making a widget to import my files from an API, I've made a page where files are listed and when you click on them it calls the window.sankore.addObject(file_path, 400, 300, 100, 100, false);

I verified the file is avaible and working.

The problem I have is that the result of function's call changes from a device to another:
On some devices it dowloads and open the file correctly.
On other devices it says the file is downloaded correctly but the file does not open in a new page, but i can see in the task manager that 5 more mb of ram are now used by openboard (so it did dowload it I guess)

All the devices are running on the same windows version (23H2) and the same openboard version (1.7.3)
The code and it implementation is exaclty the same for all the devices

I can't find where the difference is and why it works on some devices and other not.

Some questions:

• What file type is it? Image, PDF, other?
• How does the file path look like? It it a local file? Or a URL?

And a hint: You could try to start OpenBoard from a command line with the -log flag attached. This will produce a log file in a directory called log within OpenBoard's user data directory, i.e. beneath the document folder.

The file type is a PDF,
I tried with both local path and a url path using a wamp virtual host and the result was the same.

I tried with the -log flag launched from an Admin cmd and it worked.
I don't know why but the flag made it work.

Do you have any clue of what the flag changed? I can also provide tle log if you need.

Now I think your issue is what I tried to fix with #1157. However this PR is still not merged.

Adding the -log flag could change some timing, and that's relevant here. Import works, if the content of the downloaded file was already written to disk completely even without closing it first.

No, the log file does not help here, so it is not necessary to share it. But I hope that your problem report increases the importance of this bug fix.
