🖥️ CONSOLE DEBUG SETUP - STEP BY STEP

STEP 1: Clear Everything & Start Fresh​

# Navigate to dashboard
cd /Users/johnmcmahon/workspace/2025/valkyr/ValkyrAI/apps/6d-dashboard

# Remove cache
rm -rf .vite node_modules/.vite

# Start dev server
npm run dev

You'll see:

  VITE v4.x.x  ready in xxx ms

  ➜  Local:   http://localhost:3000/
  ➜  press h to show help

STEP 2: Open Browser Console​

In your browser:

  1. Press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac)
  2. Click the Console tab (not Elements, not Network)
  3. You should see a blank console

Console should look like:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Console  Elements  Network  Sources  etc... │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                                             │
│  (blank or previous logs)                   │
│                                             │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

STEP 3: Go To The URL​

In the address bar, type:

http://localhost:3000

Press Enter.

Now watch the console. You should see logs appear in real-time.

STEP 4: Read The Logs​

The console will show something like:

[MAIN] Starting React render with REAL DASHBOARD...
[AppRouter] Component mounting
[AppRouter] Current view state: 6d-dashboard
[AppRouter] Rendering SixDDashboard
[SixDDashboard] Component mounted
[SixDDashboard] Dispatch function created
[SixDDashboard] Redux selectors initialized - loading: false

Keep scrolling down (or watch new logs appear).

STEP 5: Note Where It Stops​

The logs will STOP at some point. That's the critical info!

For example, they might stop here:

[SixDDashboard] Redux selectors initialized - loading: false
[6D Redux State] loading: false overview: undefined disciplines: []
[SixDDashboard] useEffect: Fetching data...
[SixDDashboard] fetchData: Starting
[SixDDashboard] fetchData: Set loading=true
→ NOTHING MORE APPEARS

Or they might go all the way:

[SixDDashboard] fetchData: Received data: {health: {...}, disciplines: [...]}
[SixDDashboard] fetchData: Dispatched setOverview
[6D Redux State] loading: false overview: {...} disciplines: 6
→ DASHBOARD APPEARS

STEP 6: Copy The Last Log​

Find the last line of logging that appeared.

Examples:

  • [SixDDashboard] fetchData: Starting
  • [SixDDashboard] Redux selectors initialized - loading: false
  • [SixDDashboard] fetchData: Received data: ...

Right-click on it → Copy

STEP 7: Check For Errors​

Scroll up/down looking for RED TEXT error messages.

If you see red:

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'xyz'
  at getOverview (thor.client.ts:123)

Copy that too.

STEP 8: Report to Me​

Send me:

CONSOLE LOGS:
(paste the logs - especially where they stop)

LAST LOG BEFORE STOPPING:
[SixDDashboard] fetchData: Starting

RED ERRORS:
(yes/no - if yes, paste them)

WHAT'S ON SCREEN:
(still shows "Loading 6D Dashboard..." /
 shows error / shows dashboard / blank)

BROWSER:
(Chrome / Safari / Firefox / Edge)

TIPS​

If logs aren't showing:

  • Make sure you're in the Console tab (not Elements)
  • Refresh the page: F5 or Cmd+R
  • Clear console: Click the circle-slash icon or type clear() and press Enter

If everything scrolls too fast:

  • Right-click in console → click "Preserve log"
  • Refresh page
  • Logs will stay even after page reloads

If you want to copy all logs:

  • Right-click in console area
  • "Save as..." → save console output to file
  • Send me that file

SCREENSHOT OPTION​

If easier, just send a screenshot:

  1. Take a screenshot of your console (showing logs)
  2. Paste it in Discord/email
  3. I can read it and identify the issue

Ready? Let's go! 🚀

Run this:

cd /Users/johnmcmahon/workspace/2025/valkyr/ValkyrAI/apps/6d-dashboard && npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000 and check console! 📊
