Designer Portal reloading endlessly

Bug description

After building the designer portal and hosting it, it will reload endlessly.

Reproduction steps

1. RUN npm install
2. RUN npm run build-designer
3. Host dist/designer folder somewhere ( i.e. iisexpress: iisexpress /path:PATHTODESIGNERFOLDER /port:8081
4. GoTo localhost:8081

=> page is reloading endlessly

Expected behavior

I expect it to not reload all the time.

Is your portal managed or self-hosted?

Self-hosted

Release tag or commit SHA (if using self-hosted version)

most recent master

Thx @ErikMogensen , you pointed me into the right direction. The config.json produced by npm run build-designer is the config.runtime.json not the config.design.json. I fixed it by adding { from: "./src/config.design.json", to: "config.json" } to the CopyWebpackPlugin in the webpack.designer.js. But somehow it is strange, why am I the only one having that problem. This should be an issue for everybody.

Thanks @cirellamhcs, yes that’s the right workaround.

It, of course, should not behave like this, something got broken along the way, so we’ll fix this. Also, just in case, this workaround cannot be used for production because you expose the token. Depending on the specific production setup, it can be handled differently. We’ll provide some recipes soon.
