Unable to open ReDoc page anymore

[JFCote]

Hi,

I'm not sure for how long, but this morning I went to check our documentation using ReDoc and it's not working. I receive this stack trace after waiting for like 1 or 2 minutes

ReDoc initialized!

Our spec loads fine in swagger-ui.

Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!

@JFCote, this may be caused by the recent update. As a quick workaround, please, use release 1.20.0 instead of the latest: https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/1.20.0/redoc.min.js

Send me a link to your spec here or via email so I can reproduce and investigate.

Also, note that using latest is discouraged in production:

[misos1]

Does not have this something together with https://unpkg.com/redoc/bundles/redoc.standalone.js or https://unpkg.com/redoc@2.0.0-alpha.0/bundles/redoc.standalone.js ?

Now when I open them is browser I see these messages:

Cannot find module "/bundles/redoc.standalone.js" in package redoc@1.21.0
Cannot find package redoc@2.0.0-alpha.0

By the way when will be release of redoc 2.0? There are many great possibilities with openapi 3.0.

[RomanHotsiy]

@misos1 nope, it has nothing to do with those. The release of 2.0 is really close. I'm just a bit busy with other things to finish as quick as I wanted but I'm working on this.

[misos1]

Ok but still, I was playing with that alpha version and it today stopped working. I mean probably because instead of getting .js files it will just return that message.

[RomanHotsiy]

There is no alpha.0 and latest stable version (1.x) doesn't have bundles folder. Use next npm tag for the latest alpha: https://unpkg.com/redoc@next/bundles/redoc.standalone.js

[misos1]

I found these links on https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/tree/react-rewrite under "Releases ... Important: all the 2.x releases are deployed to npm and can be used via unpkg:..."

Oh ok, this new link worked, thanks.

[JFCote]

@RomanGotsiy Thanks for the quick reply.

Just so people who follow this thread don't have the same problem as me, the link to the version 1.20.0 is this one (added a v in yours)

https://rebilly.github.io/ReDoc/releases/v1.20.0/redoc.min.js

Even with this version, I have the exact same problem. I'm sending you my spec by email right now and I will keep experimenting with older version. Thanks!

[JFCote]

After some experimentation with older version, I'm starting to think that maybe the breaking change is in my spec itself, even if it's valid. Before I did deeper, I will let you debug with my spec that I sent you by email.
