[tmirun]

🐛 Bug Report

in the reactNativeFlipper.java, the following lines making EventSource (SSE) not working.

....
NetworkFlipperPlugin networkFlipperPlugin = new NetworkFlipperPlugin();
      NetworkingModule.setCustomClientBuilder(
          new NetworkingModule.CustomClientBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void apply(OkHttpClient.Builder builder) {
              builder.addNetworkInterceptor(new FlipperOkhttpInterceptor(networkFlipperPlugin));
            }
          });

Environment

I am not sure if this is a bug or is normal behavior.

any news about this ?

[tmirun]

@axwell in production mode SSE/EventSource it is working, that networkFlipperPlugin is only applied in development mode, for you can intercept the network calls and show it in Flipper.

We don't really use the OkHttpClient interceptor internally, so if anybody wants to investigate if this could be wired better, PRs are welcome!

I'll like to keep this issue open :) We still have the same problem on our side too.

[mweststrate]

You're interested in investigating it further? Otherwise there is little value in keeping issues open that no one is willing to invest in.

Yeah, ran into this issue at work today. Works fine on release versions of Android apps, but not debug.

What does this specific snippet of code do? Is it required to use Flipper in normal debugging practices?

Still looking for some insight into this code snippet.
