Troubleshoot frontend issues

The Funkwhale frontend is a {abbr}SPA (Single Page Application) written in Vue.js. It consumes the Funkwhale API to serve content and to federate with other Fediverse software.

Tools

The most useful tools for troubleshooting issues with the Funkwhale frontend are your web browser's developer tools. The Console and Network tabs are particularly useful for tracking down issues in the Javascript code and API responses respectively. Use the following shortcut to open the developer tools for your browser:

Troubleshoot the issue

Crashes or performance issues

To start troubleshooting your issue, try the following:

Open your browser's developer tools.
Select the Console tab.
Open Funkwhale and try to replicate the issue.
Take note of any errors or warnings that appear in the Console tab.

If applicable, try these steps while logged in and again while logged out to see if there is any difference.

Content not appearing

If content isn't appearing, it is usually due to one of the following reasons:

A conditional statement in the frontend code isn't working.
The API is not serving content.

You can confirm which of these is causing the issue by checking the Network tab in your browser's developer tools.

Open your browser's developer tools.
Select the Network tab.
Open Funkwhale and try to replicate the issue.
Take not of any 4XX or 5XX responses in the API calls.

If you are receiving 4XX or 5XX responses, this means the API isn't serving your content properly. You can investigate further by following the backend troubleshooting guide.
