Has anyone noticed this before? I just did an install of community edition and started up Dashboards per the README.md. When I connect to it in the browser, the first page loads, but when I click on any of the demos, all the widgets just say “loading…” and then have a timer on them for how many seconds they’ve been trying. But it never finishes.

What I noticed in the browser console was errors like this:

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for [http://localhost:10001/modules/QuickBase\_948506e/vendor/backbone-min.map:](http://localhost:10001/modules/QuickBase_948506e/vendor/backbone-min.map:) HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR\_HTTP\_RESPONSE\_CODE\_FAILURE

Sure enough, if I try to browse to that, I get the following 404:

www/modules/QuickBase\_948506e/vendor/backbone-min.map: not found

On the fileystem, that file doesn’t exist. In www/modules/QuickBase\_948506e/vendor, there is backbone-1.4.0.min.js, but no backbone-min.map.

Is this file missing, or is it supposed to get generated somehow? How can this be resolved?

Thank you!

Not entirely sure why this worked, but I restarted the demo and dash processes and it started working. Disregard.

Thank you
