Silent failing

[danpaulsmith]

Hi,

I'm feeding in a REST endpoint that returns 2.3MB of JSON.

The connector hangs for about 30 seconds while still on the form and then un-hangs and nothing happens with no error message.

Another endpoint from the same endpoint, returning the same formatted JSON, but a much smaller response (2kb), works.

Is there anyway to debug/understand what's failing? Is there a timeout or size limit for the endpoint that's failing?

Thanks

@danpaulsmith thanks for the bug report. Will check this out.

Same issue here. It also fails in Internet Explorer but works fine in Chrome. Old web browser in Tableau perhaps?

[niranjan94]

@sepodele yes. IE does not handle large amounts of data and fails.

No workaround to make it work in Tableau?

Hi.. Thanks for this amazing WDC. It helped me so much but now I am stuck with the same issue. It is not able to handle large amount of Data. Can you please let us know if there is a solution or workaround for this?

Thank you

The limitation is at the client side. Since all of the data manipulation happens in the browser. One thing I could consider doing is turning off the data preview in the Export Data dialog for large amounts of data. That should help a bit. But not a lot.

Significant improvements will be possible only when some refactor is done on the data fetching logic. This would be anyway needed for #26 . So, hopefully with that is resolved, there should also be improvements in performance.

I will keep this issue open until them.
