Does not show after calling JSRuntime.Invoke

[Jonathan]

Hi..

I have the following code.  

After JSRuntime is called the AnimationContainer does not show. I get a screen flicker.

Any idea how I can show the Animation Container after opening (downloading a file)

thanks again!

 

        await JSRuntime.InvokeAsync<object>("open", URI, "_blank");

                 
        await AnimationContainer.ShowAsync();
        StateHasChanged();

        await Task.Delay(5000);

        await AnimationContainer.HideAsync();
        StateHasChanged();

Hello Jonathan,

The provided code snippet throws an error in the window.open call, which breaks the entire app. I am attaching a short video that demonstrates this. I strongly advise that you monitor the browser console to ensure there are no errors. Blazor cannot take circular JS object references, and the window object returned from window.open has a circular reference - its .parent field points to the current window instance.

A workaround for that can be defining you own function that does not create a circular reference because it will never serialize a return type back to Blazor. For your convenience, I am attaching a sample of this.
