Which browser is installed on your system?
Do you have chrome?
Can you run with root --web=chrome -e 'new TBrowser'

cxwx1 · April 22, 2025, 3:34pm

firefox and chrome both white without any things.

linev · April 22, 2025, 3:44pm

With older MacOS 15.1 current ROOT master works for me - with all browsers.
I will try to update and check

linev · April 23, 2025, 6:16am

Also after update to MacOS 15.4.1 I see no problems.

Can you check JavaScript console in the chrome if it shows any error messages?

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 3:37am

many error messages

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 3:38am

did you tried root --web=off? or it’s just deprecated?

linev · April 24, 2025, 7:44am

Such failure does not appear to me.
But it can be caused by your language settings.
Can you try to use alternative location for openui5.
Just call in ROOT:

root [1] gEnv->SetValue("WebGui.openui5src","https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/1.128.0/")
root [2] new TBrowser

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 9:00am

it works

So it’s openui problem?

linev · April 24, 2025, 9:05am

This is only workaround - you are using openui5 from external resource.

ROOT includes only subset and something is missing.

That is default language in your chrome browser?

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 9:08am

default language Chinese, English, neither worked.

linev · April 24, 2025, 9:24am

I cannot reproduce problem on my system.
Can you help me to debug it?

I want to get network log from your web browser when it try to start ROOT TBrowser widget.
To get it, please do following steps.

Start chrome browser and enable developer console (Ctrl + Shit + I) and go to network tab
Start ROOT with following parameters: root --web=server -e 'new TBrowse'
Copy printed URL into your chrome browser
When web page is loaded, many files will be loaded by the chrome browser. Please create har file by pressing “Import HAR file…” button marked on my screenshot.
And send me created har file.

linev · April 24, 2025, 6:12pm

Did you copy full URL - with extra args?

linev · April 24, 2025, 6:13pm

Yes, with all args - otherwise ROOT server will refuse to open HTTP page

linev · April 24, 2025, 6:26pm

Please try to cleanup browser cache - your log shows that some files loaded from the disk cache.
And your log is not complete.

Also try to run same procedure with root --web=server on some other web browser - like Firefox or Safari

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 6:35pm

may be some chrome plugins.

tried safari, the har file below

some js not loaded correctly

linev · April 24, 2025, 6:56pm

Seems to be har file does not include failures.
Are there other failures before loading Menu.js or ActionItem.js

cxwx1 · April 24, 2025, 7:00pm

all 404 failures

linev · April 24, 2025, 7:04pm

It is very strange - openui5 should not try to load separate components - but just full library.

linev · April 24, 2025, 7:18pm

For you the solution can be create .rootrc file in home directory and put there:

WebGui.openui5src: https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/1.128.0/
