Running into trouble? Sorry to hear it.

Let’s figure this out.

Here are some things you can try when things don’t work, if you’re still stuck — ask the community for help.

Logs

SilverBullet logs in two places: in your browser and on the server. Most valuable logs are likely going to be in your browser’s logs:

• Client logs: Check your browser’s JavaScript console.
• Server logs: Server logs are written to the standard output of the server process. Have a look there too, to see if anything obvious is going on.

Disable features

Depending on the situation you may (temporarily) disable various client features by appending any of the following to any SilverBullet URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000/?disableSpaceLua=1):

• ?disableSync=1 disables synchronization with the server
• ?disableSpaceLua=1 disables loading of all Space Lua scripts
• ?disableSpaceStyle=1 disables loading of all Space Style
• ?disablePlugs=1 disables loading of all non built-in Plugs

Client reset

If all else fails, you may try to perform a full client reset, simply add ?resetClient=1 to any SilverBullet URL.

This will do the following:

1. Confirm you want to perform a full client reset
2. Wipe all data stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB, unregister the service worker)
3. Reload the client initiating a full resync
