@dc42:

Our posts crossed. It sounds to me that your SD card is working OK now but you can't edit or upload files over WiFi. Is that what you are now finding? Does the System File Editor list the files in /sys, and does the GCode Files page list the files in /gcodes?

That is correct.
The system file editor now lists the /sys files, but the Gcode files are not listed in the /gcode

What web browser are you using?

eca77

windows edge

curieos

Try using chrome or firefox. I haven't used windows edge but I know safari doesn't work well, and historically microsoft browsers are the worst in terms of supporting new features and frameworks.

eca77

But I just tried Firefox, I can now edit the config files with that and it saves them. Still can't see the gcodes file….

eca77

which is a step in the right direction, I can edit the configuration, just can't upload anything to print.

eca77

okay, found out what the problem was. The folder was named "gcodes-ormerod", apparently that is wrong and it must be just gcodes…. would love a slap forehead emoji right now...

eca77

can't tell my wife I have spent most of the day on this and it was a simple file name change…

I am glad you sorted it. For reference, you can find the required SD card folder structure here https://duet3d.com/wiki/SD_card_folder_structure.

The web interface should really support all browsers. This is 2016, not 1997.

It's not always possible. MS have never followed compliance. If all browsers were WebKit then 100% compliance could be achieved with ease.

yeah, I saw that, but figured that if the original files had the added tags that it would be allowed so I didn't think anything about it.

tomasf

Web development requires testing. Not supporting or not testing with some of the major browsers shouldn't be considered acceptable.

dc42

tomasf, DuetWebControl is open source. I invite you to modify it to work around the failures of the so-called major browsers to implement the HTML 5 standard sufficiently. See https://html5test.com/compare/browser/mybrowser/edge-14/safari-9.1/chrome-52.html.

Edge browser is getting better, and almost all of DWC worked in it last time I tried it.

MS Edge seems to have a ~5% market share spread across 3 versions:

Not sure that can be considered "major"?

FYI The problem with editing config files is that Safari doesn't support the 'new File()' constructor used in upload.js (nor does IE or Edge). However it is supported in Chrome, Opera, and FireFox. See http://caniuse.com/#feat=fileapi

I've tried some of the usual work-arounds for this Safari issue, but not found one that works.

I have updated the Wiki to include a note on the folder naming, eca77 sorry you spent so much time on this!
https://duet3d.com/wiki/SD_card_folder_structure

Also added a note about browsers to here:
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Prerequisites_for_using_the_Duet_WiFi

And this as a trouble shooting page:
https://duet3d.com/wiki/File_uploads_or_other_DWC_features_not_working

When any more information or workarounds for other browsers becomes available we can update the troubleshooting page.

FWIW I tried to find out why saving files in the System File Editor doesn't work in the latest version of Edge. With developer tools enabled, Edge pauses when I attempt to save the file as if an exception has occurred. But Edge is then completely unresponsive, denying me the possibility of finding out what the exception was. Microsoft needs to get its act together.

Microsoft Edge 25.10586.0.0

Browser shows the following error in dev console:

[[language]]
SCRIPT5002: Function expected
dwc.js (47,165042)

This error points me to this line:

[c]var c=new File([d],a,{type:"application/octet-stream"}[/c]
