|
|
## Root Cause Analysis
|
|
|
|
The issue was **NOT** with the backend or services loading. The problem was:
|
|
|
|
1. **Frontend Process was stopped** - The React development server had been killed
|
|
2. **Cache was stale** - In-memory cache from previous session may have contained empty data
|
|
3. **No error handling visible** - User was seeing cached empty state or loading state
|
|
|
|
## Resolution Steps Taken
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ **Verified Backend**: Confirmed 8 services in database and API returning data
|
|
2. ✅ **Restarted Frontend**: Killed old process and started fresh instance
|
|
3. ✅ **Cleared Cache**: Removed node_modules/.cache and build directory
|
|
4. ✅ **Verified Compilation**: Frontend compiled successfully without errors
|
|
5. ✅ **Tested API Connectivity**: Backend returning services correctly
|
|
|
|
## Current Status: ✅ ALL SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL
|
|
|
|

## If Services Still Not Appearing in Browser
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Hard Refresh Browser**
|
|
- Press `Ctrl + Shift + R` (Linux/Windows)
|
|
- Or `Cmd + Shift + R` (Mac)
|
|
- This clears browser cache
|
|
|
|
2. **Check Browser Console**
|
|
- Open DevTools (F12)
|
|
- Go to Console tab
|
|
- Look for any red errors
|
|
- Common errors to look for:
|
|
- CORS errors
|
|
- Network errors
|
|
- 404 Not Found
|
|
- Failed to fetch
|
|
|
|
3. **Check Network Tab**
|
|
- Open DevTools (F12)
|
|
- Go to Network tab
|
|
- Filter by "XHR" or "Fetch"
|
|
- Look for request to `/api/services`
|
|
- Check if it returns 200 with data
|
|
|
|
4. **Clear Browser Cache Completely**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data
|
|
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy → Clear Data
|
|
- Select "Cached images and files"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. **Try Incognito/Private Window**
|
|
- This bypasses all cache
|
|
- If services load here, it's a cache issue
|
|
|
|
## Testing Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Test backend services API
|
|
curl http://localhost:8181/api/services | python3 -m json.tool
|
|
|
|
# Test frontend is running
|
|
curl http://localhost:5300
|
|
|
|
# Check frontend process
|
|
ps aux | grep "@craco/craco.*start"
|
|
|
|
# View frontend logs
|
|
tail -50 /media/pts/Website/PromptTech_Solution_Site/frontend.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Files Involved
|
|
|
|
- **Backend**: `/media/pts/Website/PromptTech_Solution_Site/backend/server.py`
|
|
- **Frontend**: `/media/pts/Website/PromptTech_Solution_Site/frontend/src/pages/Services.js`
|
|
- **Service Card**: `/media/pts/Website/PromptTech_Solution_Site/frontend/src/components/cards/ServiceCard.js`
|
|
- **API Cache**: `/media/pts/Website/PromptTech_Solution_Site/frontend/src/utils/apiCache.js`
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
**NO BACKEND ISSUES FOUND** - The backend services API has been working correctly throughout. The issue was the frontend development server being stopped. After restarting the frontend with cache cleared, all systems are operational.
|
|
|
|
**Services are loading from the backend correctly.** If the user still sees no services in their browser, it's a browser-side caching issue that requires a hard refresh or clearing browser cache.
