When I open Chrome DevTools → Netenter image description herework, I see:
index-DC5wtTTV.js → ~5.6 MB
Total resources: ~7.3 MB
This makes the page slow to load.
What I’ve tried:
Checked if NODE_ENV=production build is being used.
Looked at webpack-bundle-analyzer to inspect dependencies.
Tried code splitting with React.lazy + Suspense.
I Have a app in app we have a widget we want to open this widget into new window
when i open window i communicate to parent window open in child when child is closed i communicate to parent child closed so parent open this widget in parent
problem is when i open it takes alot of memory to open
i research on this and people saying it takes
so when i close widget it should return to base memory
export const openWidgetInNewWindow = ({
widgetId,
rowData,
width = 900,
height = 600,
data,
onCloseCallback = null,
}) => {
// Get the name of the widget based on the ID
const widgetName = Object.keys(allWidgetIDs).find(
(key) => allWidgetIDs[key]?.id === widgetId,
)
// Calculate center position for the child window
const left = window.screenX + (window.outerWidth - width) / 2
const top = window.screenY + (window.outerHeight - height) / 2
const url = `/widget/${widgetId}/${widgetName}`
// Open the child window with specified dimensions and position
childWindow = window.open(
url,
'_blank',
`width=${width},height=${height},top=${top},left=${left}`,
)
// Store the window reference using its ID
openWindows[widgetId] = childWindow
if (childWindow) {
childWindow.focus()
// Set the widget as open in Redux
store.dispatch.boards.addWidget({
boardId: rowData,
widget: { id: widgetId, name: widgetName },
childOpen: true,
})
// Getting the latest current Board after dispatching so that can be used throughout the app
const updatedCurrentBoard = getCurrentBoard()
// Event handler to handle messages from child window (like closure)
const closeTimeouts = {}
const handleMessage = (event) => {
if (event.data?.type === 'childClosed') {
const widgetId = event?.data?.widgetId
const data = event.data?.closed
if (closeTimeouts[widgetId]) {
clearTimeout(closeTimeouts[widgetId])
}
closeTimeouts[widgetId] = setTimeout(() => {
if (data) {
updateWidgetChildOpen(widgetId, false)
if (onCloseCallback) onCloseCallback()
}
delete closeTimeouts[widgetId]
}, 10)
}
}
// Listen for messages from the child window
window.addEventListener('message', handleMessage)
// Cleanup listener on component unmount
const cleanup = () => {
window.removeEventListener('message', handleMessage)
}
window.reduxStore = updatedCurrentBoard
return { childWindow, cleanup }
} else {
console.error('Failed to open child window')
return null
}
}
This is child window
function OrderEntry(props) {
const { defaultSettings, widgetId, rowData } = props
const boardId = rowData

},
})
}
>
Childwindow open
</Box>
)
}
OrderEntry.propTypes = {
defaultSettings: propTypes.object.isRequired,
widgetId: propTypes.any,
rowData: propTypes.string,
}
export default memo(OrderEntry)
useEffect(() => {

I’m using CodeQL in Azure DevOps pipeline to scan an ASP.NET Core MVC app. My pipeline includes this step:
task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1
inputs:
languages: 'csharp, javascript'
codeqlpathstoignore: 'bin,obj'
codeqlpathstoinclude: 'wwwroot/js,wwwroot/lib'
displayName: Initialize CodeQL
...
...
...
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Analyze@1
displayName: Run CodeQl analysis
In order to scan wwwroot folder, I created a JS project with npm within my ASP .NET Core app. This step allowed me find dependency vulnerabilities in wwwroot/lib folder.
However, I can’t achecve the goal of scanning .js files to find vulnerabilities within the code.
I can see that CodeQL extracts files (Extracting <path to my JS project with npm>myCustomeCode.js, which comes from the pipeline logs).However, it does not detect known vulnerabilities in the .js files that I know are vulnerable.
Questions:
Why doesn’t CodeQL detect known vulnerabilities in .js files, even though they are scanned?
I’m facing a really strange and frustrating issue with my Strapi (v4) project. I’ve been debugging this for a while and have tried almost everything I can think of. I’d greatly appreciate any help or new ideas.
My GET requests for a “Todo” collection type work perfectly, but PUT requests to update an existing entry consistently fail with a 404 Not Found error, even when using a valid and existing ID.
Symptoms:
When I send a GET request to http://localhost:1337/api/todos, I get a 200 OK response with a list of all the items. I can clearly see the items and their IDs (for example, items with id: 2 and id: 4).
When I then use one of those valid IDs to send a PUT request to http://localhost:1337/api/todos/2, the request fails with a 404 Not Found error every single time.
The Strangest Clue: At one point during debugging, I noticed that the IDs displayed in the Strapi Admin Panel’s Content Manager were different from the IDs being returned by the API (e.g., the UI showed IDs 1, 3, 5 while the API returned 2, 4, 6). This suggested a database conflict or an issue with two server instances running, but the problem has persisted even after a full project reset.
What could possibly cause a 404 Not Found error on a PUT request for an ID that is confirmed to exist via a GET request, given that all permissions and configurations appear to be perfect?
Has anyone ever faced a similar “ghost” issue in Strapi? Any new debugging steps or ideas would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks in advance!
I have already gone through all the common solutions and confirmed the following:
Permissions: I have 100% confirmed that the permissions for find, findOne, and update are all enabled for the correct role (Public/Authenticated) in the Strapi Admin Panel.
Request Formatting: The request is formatted correctly for Strapi v4. The URL is correct (/api/todos/{id}), and the JSON Body is correctly wrapped in a data object: { “data”: { … } }.
Full Project Reset: I have stopped the server, deleted the .tmp, node_modules, and build folders, then ran npm install followed by npm run build to ensure a clean state.
Hardcoded URL: I have used the full, hardcoded URL (http://localhost:1337/api/todos/2) directly in Postman to rule out any issues with environment variables ({{host}}).
Custom Code: I have not modified the core controller or service for this content type. There are no custom policies applied to these routes.
I’m using GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) in Azure DevOps to scan an ASP.NET Core MVC app. My pipeline includes this step:
task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1
inputs:
languages: 'csharp, javascript'
codeqlpathstoignore: 'bin,obj'
codeqlpathstoinclude: 'wwwroot/js,wwwroot/lib'
displayName: Initialize CodeQL
The scanner does scan the wwwroot/js and wwwroot/lib folders, but it doesn’t detect known vulnerabilities in the JavaScript libraries that I know are outdated and vulnerable.
Questions:
Why doesn’t GHAS detect known vulnerabilities in these libraries, even though they are scanned?
Does setting codeqlpathstoinclude override the default scanning paths, or does it simply add to them? The official documentation isn’t clear on this.

Recently I ran across this infinite scroll vertical text ticker/carousel that highlights one word in the center of the container as you scroll. The rest of the words fade up or down from the bottom depending on the direction of scroll. Does anyone know how they achieved this effect? I have been looking for a similar script but have been unsuccessful in my search.
The website I saw it on is https://www.warp.dev/. It is in the 3rd from the last content block on that page. Below is an image of the block on that page containing the effect.
I have a form for adding books in React. On the backend, the API expects this object:
public record AppendBookRequest(
string Title,
string Name,
string Description,
string ImageUrl,
decimal Price,
List<string> Category
);
So the Category field must be an array of strings.
On the frontend, my code looks like this:
const AddBook = (
bookImgUrl,
bookTitle,
bookNameFirst,
bookNameLast,
bookPrice,
bookCategory,
bookDescription
) => {
const item = {
img: bookImgUrl,
id: crypto.randomUUID(),
title: bookTitle,
name: `${bookNameFirst} ${bookNameLast}`,
price: bookPrice,
category: Array.isArray(bookCategory) ? bookCategory : [bookCategory],
description: bookDescription
};
axios.post(url, item);
setBooks([...books, item]);
};
And in the bookDetails component:
<div className="mb-3">
<label className="form-label">Book genre:</label>
<input
className="form-control"
type="text"
value={book.category ? book.category.join(', ') : ''}
onChange={(e) => { }} - have problem with it
/>
</div>
If I just store a string in category, then later when I call join I get:
book.category.join is not a function
I tried storing category as a string, but the server returns 500 because it expects an array of strings. I also tried using split(‘,’), but got other issues when converting.
I have the following string that have tokens which are replaced by data inside of a function. Example of the tokens are @1 @2 @3. So as I am debugging I am noticing that some tokens are not being removed by using .replace(). However, if a .replace() is performed again it finally finds the token.
Example of code:
template = template.replace("@4", batchId);
if(template.indexOf("@4") != -1){
template = template.replace("@4", batchId);
}
template = template.replace("@5", batchId);
Example of string:(IPL)

I’m trying to incorporate React Router into my Firefox browser extension to be able to display different pages in the extension’s popup window. However, I keep getting the warning, You should call navigate() in a React.useEffect(), not when your component is first rendered., which causes React Router to ignore the navigation attempt.
The thing is, I’m not directly calling navigate. I’m using React Router’s provided Link component, in a manner that seems to me to be entirely consistent with the doucmentation. Notably, much like in my own implementation, the documentation suggests that using Link eliminates any need to use useEffect or listen for a change in state.
In an effort to bypass this, I did try emulating a fix found for a similar issue, described here, where they used a toy state prop to make sure that no navigation occurred until the second time rendering the component. However, this didn’t change the outcome at all. Below is the relevant code.
How could I fix my code to allow the browser extension to navigate within the popup window? Is something wrong with my implementation, or is this a limitation of Firefox extensions that prevents navigation with React Router?
Any and all assistance would be much appreciated!

I have a function that right now just contains an if statement with a console.log, it looks like this
async function embed(){
if(await getLive()){
console.log(live)
}
}
My issue in particular is that when getLive() is true in this codeblock, the if statement doesn’t read it as such. Additionally when I write it as this
if(getLive()){
console.log(live)
}
it is read as always true, even with getLive() returns a promise with a false value, I’m pretty sure this is only happening because objects are always truthy, but is that not what async/await is supposed to fix?
EDIT:
This is what is inside the getLive() function:
async function getLive(){
const request = new Request("https://api.twitch.tv/helix/search/channels?query=ishowspeed", {
headers: {
'Client-ID': '[client-id]',
'Authorization': '[auth token]'
},
})
const response = await fetch(request)
const value = await response.json()
var count=0;
while(value.data[count].id != 220476955){
count ++;
}
return value.data[count].is_live
}
ishowspeed is just who I was using at the moment for a currently live twitch channel
And in the debug console this is the result I’m given, it’s a separate console.log() from what’s shown in the embed function, its called after that function
Promise {[[PromiseState]]: 'pending', [[PromiseResult]]: undefined}
[[PromiseResult]] = true
I’m self-taught when it comes to the Adobe Scripts, so I don’t know what’s going on.
This is a shortened version of the function I’m working on; the full version will have different objects being placed in different groups. The function should:
Theoretically this works, but when I run it the obj1and6 is consistently not selected through this for loop. This also occurs in the longer version, but always with the 2nd object pushed to gathered, so for example, I might have 6 objects, but the 2nd object is always missed.
function side5and6movement(obj1and6, obj2and7, colorName, sideName, targetDoc){
//declare variables
var temp;
var tempGroup;
var gathered = [];
var boundry = getObject("DO NOT TOUCH2", sideName + "Boundry");
if(boundry == null){
alert("boundry " + sideName + " not found" );
earlyExit = true;
return;
}
gathered[0] = boundry.duplicate();
if(earlyExit){
return;
}
gathered[0].locked = false;
var index = 0;
if(obj1and6 != null){// check for 1/6
temp = obj1and6.duplicate();
doc.selection = null;
tempGroup = doc.groupItems.add();
temp.moveToBeginning(tempGroup);

I’ve tried all that I can think of, I’ve even put a sleep command for 2 seconds to make sure it isn’t asynchronous, but I can’t seem to get rid of this problem. I can include more code, the project is currently around 1600 lines and a large mess.
I am sending a request with a unique UUID token in the payload.
e5c8a139-04f5-4b8e-9828-04defe3ff482
Why does this UUID fail?
I am getting an invalid token error.
This is being used to send a request to a Mulesoft server. and I think I am using a valid version 4 format.
I have a table that lists modules. Each row has a View button. When the user clicks View, I want to:
Navigate to a detail page (/modules/:id)
Use that id in the detail component to fetch/load the module data.
What’s the correct way to pass the id and read it in the target component with React Router
I have pasted all of my code here so you will be able to give me some suggestion.

const navigator = useNavigate();
useEffect(() => {
listOfCourseModules().then((response) => {
setModules(response.data);
console.log(response.data)
});
},[]);
const viewPdf = (id) =>{ // this is the part that I am trying to figure out.
navigator("/page/",{id})
}
