Hi @mani-chand, thanks for looking more at this!
Will this not push the text into codes on every change to any editor on the page? That sounds wrong to me: I would expect the change event to update a single item in the codes list.
More importantly, how have you tested this? It was a little hard to trigger the problem with the old code, so it's important that we find a way to improve the testing of any new code.
That will probably be something simple like "I ran mdbook serve --open, and browsed back and forth 10 times between two pages". If that "procedure" can reproduce the old error, then we can use it to test the new code.

Hello @mgeisler , I think, I did the changes you wanted. Could you verify them and suggest any changes if needed.
About testing, In old code , we used javascript event listener to save the code , now, we are using ace editor's change event this time it won't be a problem.
I did normally checked in my local , It worked good for me . Just check at your local and let me know.

Hi @mani-chand, thanks for the update, I'll take a look in a minute.
An important first question is: are you able to reliably reproduce the error before this fix?

No, But i think the error came because of closing window/tab directly changing the code.

But if you want me to do, I will try and reproduce the error.

But I am not able to replicate it.
Okay, that is interesting 🙂
The problem I saw with the old code was that the pages would become empty after a while. I noticed this while browsing the rendered book — the next day some of the students told me that they had also noticed the missing code blocks.
If we cannot reproduce the old error, then I don't feel confident in a PR that tries to fix it. The problem is that we won't know if the PR is really fixing the error if we don't know how to reproduce the error.
It would be helpful if you can figure out how to reliably reproduce the error and then test the same procedure on the new code.

Hello @mgeisler , Found the bug 🎉 . All non-editable exercise playground codes went missing/cleared . It is may be because of ACE API i am trying to replace the playground code with the same code in non-editable playground it get cleared. (because of pagehide event excercise code will save in localstorage and when we visit the exercise again savePlayground function will try to replace the same code but because of non-editable playground code will get cleared).
Can you please verify that and confirm me.

To reproduce the issue :
Go to a non - editable playground and refresh the page
or
Go to a non - editable playground and go to next page and visit again.

Hello @mgeisler, Can you give me a update on it. |
Hi @mani-chand, I haven't forgotten about this — I spent some time looking at it today and I think you're right that there is a problem with the pages that have non-editable playgrounds. However, I don't understand what the problem is... I don't see any exceptions in the JavaScript console, but I do see the code block disappear. This makes me nervous about changing this code more. I will look more next week! |
Hello @mgeisler , its because of pagehide event excercise code will save in localstorage and when we visit the exercise(non editable playground) again |
#1476 issue. Updated the function call(
getCodeFromPlayground) insave-playground.jsfile frompagehideevent to change event in ace editor.
