Editing Large gcode File Connection Drop

CCS86

Hi guys,

I'm running a Maestro, and whenever I try to edit a larger gcode file through the web interface (this one is 6.9 MB), it initially appears to load the file just fine. But immediately it causes an HTTP connection interruption, then when it reconnects seconds later, I'm dropped out of the file, back to the jobs list. This makes editing the file directly impossible.

Duet Web Control 2.0.7
RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 Maestro 3.0 (2020-01-03b3)

Please try firmware 3.01RC3. There has been a fix to networking on the Maestro since 3.0, but I don't have the details to hand so I don't know whether it is relevant or not.

I just installed RC4 (assuming it has the same network fix as RC3), but the issue remains.

The instant that the file is displayed, this error pops up:

When it reconnects, I just get booted to the main screen.

Let me know if I can gather a detailed log that would help you.

Honestly, since upgrading from 3.0 to RC4, the network connectivity (outside this specific issue) seems worse.

I frequently get dropouts on the web control display.

I just tested with RC6 and the issue persists.

RC11 and DWC 2.1.6

Same issue. Any ideas? Is this more likely a DWC or RRF issue?

CCS86

Still happening in "stable" RRF 3.1 / DWC 3.1

@dc42 Thoughts?

I was unable to reproduce this, having successfully edited a 9.2Mbyte file multiple times using FireFox under Windows. However, I have just tried again, and I have found that if I use Chrome instead of Firefox, I can reproduce the problem.

It's not specific to the Maestro because I have the same issue if I try to edit a 8.1Mbyte file on a Duet WiFi: it works using FireFox but not using Chrome.

We'll look into it.

Thank you!

I can confirm, I am also using Chrome

We've fixed this in release 3.1.1. Thanks for reporting it.

RRF 3.1.1 / DWC 3.1.1 installed and tested in Chrome.

A 13.9 MB file successfully edits now! Excellent!

However, my next size up is 15.8 MB, and that file and anything larger now have the "edit" menu option greyed out.

@CCS86 This limit has been defined because at a certain size the HTML textarea becomes too slow to work with. We might be able to remove that once the new G-code editor from the pending DWC PR has been merged.
