Web app not working on Chromium in Chrome OS

Question

I'm working on a web app for note-taking called VideoNot.es (http://videonot.es). This app is build with AngularJS and webapp2 and hosted on the Google App Engine.

My app is working fine on Chrome for the major OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) but some users have started to report issues with Chrome OS (mainly teachers with GAFE accounts).

I've decided to run it in Virtualbox and there is effectively an issue.

The app never receives answer send over the Google Channel API (https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/channel/overview) while the backend is logging that it sent it. I had received reports before we moved to it so it is not really link to it.

I really don't understand what is wrong here.

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

If it's a bug in the Javascript, you'd want to file it on the issue tracker. I haven't noticed much progress on Channel API bugs, so I wouldn't expect much though.

I'd recommend working around it by polling, or another solution, like Node.js hosted elsewhere.
