Flight Demo not working

[JulianeMu]

Hello,

the flight demo is not working. Following error is thrown:
Expected to read 1329865020 metadata bytes, but only read 598
at MessageReader.readMetadata (message.ts:86)

Could you please help me to fix this issue?

[domoritz]

Hmm, it works for me. What browser are you using?

[JulianeMu]

I've tried Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Only the 'flights-mapd' example is running. However, I'm especially interested in the 'flights' as well as in the 'weather' example since they are using local databases. While these examples result in the mentioned error from before, the 'gaia-mapd' example terminates in a connection timeout exception.

[domoritz]

The Gaia example needs a database you don't have access to.

[JulianeMu]

Thanks for the fast reply and explanation!
But what is wrong with the 'flights' and 'weather' examples?

[domoritz]

https://uwdata.github.io/falcon/flights works for me in Chrome, Firefox and Safari in the latest versions.

[JulianeMu]

Yes, the online example is working perfectly. However, after downloading this repository and running the code I get this error.

[domoritz]

You use yarn?

[JulianeMu]

Yes ;)

[domoritz]

I can confirm the bug. This might be related to an arrow update. I'll investigate but I'm also happy to accept a pull request to fix it.

[JulianeMu]

Thanks for your help! What do you mean with pull request?

[domoritz]

A GitHub pull request.

[JulianeMu]

Since I've just started to work and familiarize myself with your code, I haven't created a GitHub repository yet. Thus, I'm only using the code you've provided on GitHub. Is there a chance that you change it over here and I pull the updates or that you tell me what to change? I would be really thankful.

[domoritz]

For now, you can check out an older version that will work (you have to try which one).

[domoritz]

Actually, I found a fix. Just pull master.

[JulianeMu]

Thanks, it's working now!

[domoritz]

What are you using falcon for, btw?

[JulianeMu]

We are developing an image-derived hypotheses generation platform for brain-related diseases and dysfunctions. In this context, we are using image- as well as non-image-data recorded in clinical routine. Since we are working with a lot of data, we are comparing different visual analytics libraries for big data, such as falcon.js. In my opinion, falcon.js looks really promising!

[domoritz]

Wow, that's awesome. Let me know if I can help in any way.

[JulianeMu]

Thanks a lot in advance!
