Designer Crashing when opening specific view

Ignition

When opening a specific view (but not other views) my designer will crash and stop responding.

This view is being used to test some dynamo connections. It was working the last time i used the view. Nothing has changed in my designer or the ignition version (currently 8.1.44 and I can’t change this)

I believe it is the markdown component but because I can not get the designer to open it I can not prove this without a doubt.

Anyone have any ideas on how to go about opening it to edit it and get it working again?

You can hold Shift and right click on the view. That would have 2 additional options for Copy and Paste Json

Then, Copy JSON, paste it in a text editor to examine. Ideally something that can interpret and format json like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.

If you think the mark down component is the cause, just remove it and paste the rest back in the view using Paste JSON and see if it works. Or make a new view to test it out.

Thank you. I did not know about the Shift + Control.

This allowed me to delete the Markdown component and paste it back in (as suggested)

This also fixed the issue. Specifically without the Markdown component it no longer crashes the designer when opening.

I wonder if a java update or something cause this problem.

Including the deleted json section for the markdown incase it’s something in there

            {
                "meta": {
                    "name": "Markdown"
                },
                "position": {
                    "basis": "200px"
                },
                "propConfig": {
                    "props.source": {
                        "binding": {
                            "config": {
                                "expression": "now(60000)"
                            },
                            "transforms": [
                                {
                                    "code": "\tdynamo \u003d shared.SFV.Dynamo.Dynamo.DynamoDb()\n\treturn dynamo.scan()",
                                    "type": "script"
                                }
                            ],
                            "type": "expr"
                        }
                    }
                },
                "type": "ia.display.markdown"
            },

Looks like you posted your json/code as a quote block, post it as pre-formatted text to preserve indentation. Please see Wiki - how to post code on this forum.

Is there a limit on how much text a markdown component can handle?

I removed the Markdown component that causes the issue… (I assumed it was something with the auto finding the data)

Then tested with the button I have to run the query and I was able to print the text (using system.perspective.print( return query) ) without issue into the Output Console. But when it inserts it into the next Markdown Component it crashes again. :frowning:
