# Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Look at the browser console
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your map is not displayed correctly (most notably if you are getting a black screen), open your browser console.
|
||
|
|
This is usually done by pressing the F12 key and selecting the "console" tab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Scan the output. Towards the end, you might see a message explaining why your map cannot be loaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Check webserver CORS settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are hosting the map you built on your own webserver and if the map does not load, please check that
|
||
|
|
[your webserver CORS settings are correctly configured](hosting.md).

## Issues embedding a website
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you are embedding a website in WorkAdventure (whether it is using the [`openWebsite` property](opening-a-website.md) or
|
||
|
|
the [integrated website in a map](website-in-map.md) feature or the [Scripting API](scripting.md)), WorkAdventure
|
||
|
|
will open your website using an iFrame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Browsers have various security measures in place, and website owners can use those measures to prevent websites from
|
||
|
|
being used inside iFrames (either partially or completely).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the chapters below, we will list what can possibly prevent you from embedding a website, and see what are your options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Embedding an iFrame is forbidden
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The worst that can happen is that the website you are trying to embed completely denies you the authorisation.
|
||
|
|
A website owner can do that using the [`X-Frame-Options` HTTP header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options),
|
||
|
|
or the newer [`Content-Security-Policy` HTTP header](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take a look at the headers of the page you are trying to load.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{.alert.alert-info}
|
||
|
|
You can view the headers of the web page you try to load in the developer tools of your browser (usually accessible using the F12 key
|
||
|
|
of your keyboard), in the network tab. Click on the top-most request and check the "Response Headers".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below is what you can see when opening a Youtube video page:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`X-Frame-Options: DENY` or `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN` will prevent WorkAdventure from loading the page.
|
||
|
|
`Content-Security-Policy` header have also the potential to prevent WorkAdventure from loading the page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the website you are trying to embed has one of these headers set, here are your options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- if you have control over the website or know the owner, you can contact the owner/administrator of the website and ask for an exception
|
||
|
|
- otherwise, you can look for an "embed" option. Some websites have special pages that can be embedded. For instance,
|
||
|
|
YouTube has special "embed" links that can be used to embed a video in your website. A lot of websites have the same feature (you
|
||
|
|
can usually find those links in the "share" section)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If none of these options are available to you, as a last resort, you can use the [`openTab` property](opening-a-website.md) instead of the `openWebsite` property.
|
||
|
|
It will open your webpage in another tab instead of opening it in an iFrame.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### I cannot log into my embedded website
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you log into a website, the website is issuing a "cookie". The cookie is a unique identifier that allows the website
|
||
|
|
to recognize you and to identify you. To improve the privacy of their users, browsers can sometimes treat cookies
|
||
|
|
inside iFrames as "third-party cookies" and discard them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cookies can come with a `SameSite` attribute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `SameSite` attribute can take these values: "Lax", "Strict" or "None". The only value that allows using the
|
||
|
|
cookie inside an iFrame is "None".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{.alert.alert-info}
|
||
|
|
The `SameSite` attribute of your cookie MUST be set to "None" if you want to be able to use this cookie from an iFrame inside WorkAdventure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Default values**:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the "SameSite" attribute is not explicitly set, [the behaviour depends on the browser](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite#browser_compatibility).
|
||
|
|
Chrome, Edge and Opera will default to "Lax".
|
||
|
|
Firefox and Safari will default to "None" (as of 2022/04/25).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a result, a website that does not set the `SameSite` attribute on cookies will work correctly in Firefox and Safari but
|
||
|
|
login will fail on Chrome, Edge and Opera.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the website you are trying to embed has the `SameSite` attribute set to a value other than "None", here are your options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- if you have control over the website or know the owner, you can contact the owner/administrator of the website and ask
|
||
|
|
the owner/administrator to change the `SameSite` settings.
|
||
|
|
- otherwise, you will have to use the [`openTab` property](opening-a-website.md) instead of the `openWebsite` property.
|
||
|
|
It will open your webpage in another tab instead of in an iFrame.
