After upgrading from 1.2.0 to 1.5.0 pages and components act strange.

After a npm update (it upgraded the fractal version from 1.2.0 to 1.5.0) we have encountered concerning issues on our side:

Running on localhost (fractal.web.server):

• It sometimes need three refreshes for the template to actually render as it should. For example: first reload would only show half the page, second reload the entire page but one component in it’s default stage, third reload is a good render where the page renders fully and the components accordingly (including the correct context)

Browsing the builded files (fractal.web.builder): Most pages and component work correct, apart from a few. They seem to have no connection and it’s strange behaviour.

• Only in two components the merge=true parameter doesn’t work accordingly.
• Two components do not get rendered at all.
• One component renders without context.
• One component get rendered odd; does not handle it’s IF-statements correctly and also has trouble with it’s context. All these situations do not occur in the development-mode (fractal.web.server). Same components, same config.

We have about 150 components and say another full page 75 templates.

Steps to reproduce the issue

We are using handlebars as template engine.

We use this package.json:

"dependencies": { "chromedriver": "^77.0.0", "dot-prop": "^5.1.1", "gulp-minifier": "^3.5.0", "is-obj": "^2.0.0", "jimp": "^0.16.0", "jpeg-js": "^0.4.0", "jquery": "^3.5.1", "js-yaml": "^3.13.1", "kind-of": "^6.0.3", "lodash": "^4.17.19", "minimist": "^0.2.1", "node-sass": "^4.14.1", "set-value": "^2.0.1", "webdriver-manager": "^12.1.7" }, "devDependencies": { "@frctl/fractal": "^1.2.0", "@frctl/mandelbrot": "^1.2.1", "@frctl/twig": "^1.0.0-beta.5", "autoprefixer": "^9.6.1", "backstopjs": "^5.0.1", "combobo": "2.0.1", "del": "^5.1.0", "eslint": "^6.3.0", "fastsearch": "^1.11.1", "fastselect": "^0.7.3", "glob-all": "^3.1.0", "gulp": "^4.0.2", "gulp-change": "^1.0.2", "gulp-changed": "^4.0.1", "gulp-clean-css": "^4.2.0", "gulp-concat": "^2.6.1", "gulp-eslint": "^6.0.0", "gulp-header": "^2.0.9", "gulp-imagemin": "^6.1.0", "gulp-postcss": "^8.0.0", "gulp-rename": "^2.0.0", "gulp-replace": "^1.0.0", "gulp-sass": "^4.0.2", "gulp-uglify": "^3.0.2", "jasmine-spec-reporter": "^4.2.1", "muban-convert-hbs": "^1.1.1", "protractor": "^5.4.2", "selenium-standalone-jar": "^3.141.59", "svgo": "1.3.0" }

Reproduces how often:

Localhost: 20%. Builded files: 100%

Context

• Fractal version: @frctl/fractal@1.5.0, @frctl/mandelbrot@1.6.0
• Node version: v12.19.0
• OS: MacOS 10.15.6

I really hope someone knows how to get our environment stable again. Any help is very much appreciated. In need of more documentation or code, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to provide it.

Fixed in @frctl/handlebars@1.2.4 / @frctl/fractal@1.5.1.

I hope not long. Can’t make any promises though. I’d say it’s a small fix so it’ll get released at least next week.

You should be able to pin @frctl/handlebars package to an older version in the meantime - the bug was introduced in v1.2.3
