Causes Safari to Freeze

[o1lab]

Thank you for reporting the issue with all the details.

Same here on a Apple M3 Pro with Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) and Safari 17.5 (19618.2.12.11.6).
Nocodb runs as a Docker Container on my Debian Server.
It works for me when I switch to Google Chrome temporarily.

Works like a charm. Replacing await pollNotifications() with setTimeout(pollNotifications, 0) resolved the issue. I used the following sed command to update the compiled code in place.

sed -i 's/await i()/setTimeout(i, 0);/g' /usr/src/app/./node_modules/nc-lib-gui/lib/dist/_nuxt/BVffXuyZ.js

Thank you very much @itopaloglu83 it works for me too. I ran your sed command inside my Docker container and it works like a charm. 👍🏻

Chrome needs 3-5 times more RAM, compared to Safari, for the same Websites open. So i use Chrome only if really necessary.

[christiankriedemann]

Yes, it works flawlessly for me too

Thank you @itopaloglu83 @christiankriedemann for lending a helping a hand here.

It might be a problem with my computer as well. I just don’t have any other device to test with.

Have narrowed down the scenario - if we go to kanban and back to project home screen. The clicks freeze after like 5-10 seconds. Otherwise they mostly function.

I wasn't able to replicate the kanpan path, but it seems like switching to another tab expedites the issue.

Here's the bare minimum way I was able to replicate it.

• Navigate to app.nocodb.com
• Wait for over 90 seconds without interacting with the page.

I believe this might be related to how Safari stops the execution of background tabs, especially when they are invisible.

Another interesting thing is the polling request getting stuck right around the same time. So I blocked the api/v1/notifications/poll endpoint which seems to alleviate the issue.

[christiankriedemann]

For me, the tab freezes after I have worked in another tab and return.
Sometimes while I am working in nocodb
Interestingly, it doesn't seem to occur when I have the web information (CMD + OPTION + I) open.

[itopaloglu83]

I'm not familiar with the code base but it looks like 55425f5 made the pollNotifications function recursive. Check L31 below.

nocodb/packages/nc-gui/store/notification.ts

Lines 19 to 36 in 30aa5fd

	const pollNotifications = async () => {
	try {
	const res = await api.notification.poll()
	if (res.status === 'success') {
	if (notificationTab.value === 'unread') {
	unreadNotifications.value = [JSON.parse(res.data), ...unreadNotifications.value]
	}
	unreadCount.value = unreadCount.value + 1
	}
	await pollNotifications()
	} catch (e) {
	// If network error, retry after 2 seconds
	setTimeout(pollNotifications, 2000)
	}
	}

This might be the issue, I'm going to update the code to see what if it removes the issue.
