📝 Description

When Spicetify is installed, the app just crashes by saying that Something went wrong. I checked the Devtools and found there's some React Error. I would appriciate if this would get fixed soon, because I'm a Spicetify Extension developer myself, and need to make some updates.

Yes it will happen. Multiple reloads will help in this instance. There’s no known fix for it and I don’t think there’ll be in v2. I recommend downgrading to 1.2.52 if reloading multiple times on startup is bothering you.

technical talk: it’s because Spotify moved ScrollableContainer to one of these small JavaScript files that are acting as chunks, and they’re loaded later than all webpack, resulting in this. Sometimes spicetify will catch up to it, sometimes not…

@rxri Thanks. I actually just downgraded the version and it works now. Thanks!

[rxri]

but spicetify besides this works just fine on 1.2.53, so after reloads it will work until you start spotify again

[SpikeNew7774]

@rxri Also thanks for the fast response, beacuse my extension is about to have a big update, that I'm finishing up, and I wanted to let the Spicetify team know about this issue.

[rxri]

Technically as a fix we could wait until ScrollableContainer is available but when they change something it will be in constant loop, also it would require checking the webpack object over and over

@rxri Thanks. I actually just downgraded the version and it works now. Thanks!

How do I downgrade?

[rxri]

Use this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wztO1L4zvNykBRw7X4jxP8pvo11oQjT0O5DvZ_-S4Ok and only this for list of spotify installers for both macOS & Windows.

I downloaded the necessary file to downgrade for Mac but then what should I do? I'm so lost.

[rxri]

Inside the .tgz you will have folder that you need to replace with old one in Spotify.app (which is a folder) - you may click Show contents of directory or something in the dropdown

Fixed with https://github.com/spicetify/cli/releases/tag/v2.38.7

I'm still having the same issue with v2.38.7. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Spicetify but that doesn't work.

I am still having this issue despite reinstalling Spicetify, no matter how many times I reload the page.

Update: I had to completely reset Spicetify. Now it seems to be working fine.
