spiderfoot runs properly, but scans tab never stops "loading"

[JacobWoolbright]

I run spiderfoot with no errors (in python term), upon visiting the website there is an infinitely long loading screen, the "new scan" and "settings" button both work, but when making a scan it redirects to another page that loads forever and none of the buttons work other than the "new scan" and "settings"...

Do you get errors in the browser console?

I seem to be getting the error "sf is not defined"

Looks like a dupe of #511 which was a dupe of #471 which turned out to be a dependency issue.

Ensure you're using Python3 and have installed the appropriate dependencies with pip3.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 ./sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:3000

If the problem persists, updating CherryPy might help:

pip3 install cherrypy --upgrade

I was experiencing this exact issue running on Windows, this work around resolved it for me:

Open regedit.exe

Browse to key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ .js
Change value of "Content Type" to "application/javascript"

Originally the value was set to "text/plain".
