What I’m trying to do:
Start the IDE from the Forum.
It’s been a very nice shortcut: log in to the Forum, and the same credentials are passed along to the IDE, so a second log-in is not required.
What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
I’m using Windows 10, with Patch Tuesday’s update applied, and the latest Chrome, Version 153.0.8010.37 (Official Build) (64-bit). These recent changes may have something to do with it.
With the Forum open in a Chrome tab, I middle-click above the Forum on Start Building. This normally opens a new Chrome tab, with the IDE’s opening page.
Currently, I get a tab, but it’s empty. So I’ve closed that tab, and returned to the Forum tab to write this report.
With the Forum still open, I create a new tab, and enter
https://anvil.works/build#page:apps
as the URL. I get the same blank page.
Opening that same URL in MS Edge gets me to the IDE’s log-in page. So it may have something to do with how domain-specific data is shared between tabs within a single browser instance. Maybe Chrome changed some default behavior.
I’m currently working on my Apps in Edge, so I’m okay for now. I don’t much care which browser I use for that. (I could try Firefox and Opera, but they are less-widely supported.) But some folks do care, so it seemed best to let our Anvil friends know about it.
