Etherpad doesn't work in recent Chrome

See original GitHub issue

Description

Etherpad widget shows an error on loading in Chrome 80. The error says

An error occurred
The error was reported with the following id: '<redacted>'
Please press and hold Ctrl and press F5 to reload this page, if the problem persists please send this error message to your webmaster:
'ErrorId: DRZzGT6IVQQKtTWm9tzH
URL: https://scalar.vector.im/etherpad/p/<redacted>?showControls=true&showChat=false&chatAndUsers=false&alwaysShowChat=false&showLineNumbers=true&useMonospaceFont=false&userName=<redacted>
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.149 Safari/537.36
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setStateIdle' of null in https://scalar.vector.im/etherpad/javascripts/lib/ep_etherpad-lite/static/js/pad.js?callback=require.define at line 3'

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the Etherpad widget in Chrome 80 (tested in 80.0.3987.149) on Linux
  • The error appears

The pad should open normally like it does in Firefox or in the desktop client. It also works fine in Chrome if opened in a separate tab but breaks in the iframe inside the page. Probably a security issue.

I’ve raised this with the Scalar team to hopefully resolve soon. I still can’t personally reproduce it, but all the links you’ve included here do indicate an impending problem.

This should hopefully be fixed now with an update to the latest Etherpad release. Please reopen or comment with issues if this is not the case for you.
