Unable to edit page with WYSIWYG editor (myxwiki.org)

Help / Discuss
1

I’m not able to change any page of my Wiki (tested under Firefox and Chromium) … content page in edit mode is never loaded. Workaround is using xwiki / text mode.

Note: The WYSIWYG editor is set to CKEditor, I have tried to change / save this setting and to remove some plugins … but it has no effect.

Could you paste a URL and I’ll try it out?

See for instance: http://tutos.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/edit/Les_tutos_de_Toto/ModelePageLogitheque

Note: I’m running Xubuntu 18.04 if it matters.

I don’t have any problem editing this page using the WYSIWYG in chrome or FF… :slight_smile:

Try refreshing your browser cache maybe.

All cache removed in Chrome and the CKeditor is working again.

What can cause this? Does the CKEditor has drastically changed with last Xwiki versions? (remember: I’m using myxwiki.org and I’m performing updates regularly when prompted).

The CKEditor is loaded from a WebJar and the URL contains the version unfortunately, e.g.

http://<server>/xwiki/webjars/wiki%3Axwiki/application-ckeditor-webjar/1.25/ckeditor.js

The JavaScript code where this URL is used (CKEditor.EditSheet JSX) is cached by the browser and whenever we upgrade the CKEditor Integration WebJar the version changes but the browser tries to load the old URL (from the old version) and it fails.

Same issue as Loading... .

Thanks Marius, this explanation make sense. I had a quick look to Jira and this issue seems to be both old and quite annoying.

Good luck to developers to fix all these “cache problems when updating” :pray:.
