OH3 - Developer Sidebar missing

[Chris_si]

Hey

I just created a new OH3 (docker) container (version 3.0.0 Release Build) alongside my already running OH2 container and I was wondering how I can enable the developer sidebar.

I am logged in as the admin user and under ‘Developer Settings’ -> ‘Maintenance Tools’ there is no option ‘Developer Sidebar’ as I saw it in the release candidates before.

Am I missing something that needs to be done in order to activate this feature?

Hello Chris_si,

Does not your browser have enough size of the window?
I checked the behavior, it occurs when I change the browser size too small.
If the browser has enough space, the developer sidebar setting should appear.

I did some further digging on that issue and it turns out that it has something to do with http and https.
I am running OH behind traefik to be able to access OH via https (self-signed certificate) and via domain. Traefik points to the OH http port 8080.

When I access OH via http and sign in with the admin account, all settings like the developer sidebar are shown in the settings menu.

But when I access OH via https and sign in, some settings are missing. The things I found so far are the developer sidebar and the ‘pencil’ button on the homepage saying ‘edit homepage’. Also the frontend language is different. (http: german, https: english)

My conclusion would be that some things don’t get set correctly in the frontend application when I access it via https but unfortunately I have no clue what could cause this issue.

I would suggest to refresh the cache again. This can be needed behind a reverse proxy because this performs heavy caching for performance. Open you OH webpage (with https via Traefik) and go to the help page. Scroll down and unse the button “Purge chache and reload” if this is available. (The button is only available if the app recognizes a caching behavior.)

Clearing the cache solves the issue. Now all settings are displayed as they should. Thanks for the hint!

The width of the window was the problem in my case… Thanks for this note @ab3be6.
