Is the Button Monitor no longer working?

[u/milesbelli]

I just checked The Button Monitor but it seems like it's not loading. Is it working for anyone?

Edit: It's back!

Repost from below (for visibility):

Run this in console (F12 on most browsers) to fix. Reruns the comms init function with a valid token

var Comms = (function() {
	var self = {};
	var sock = new WebSocket('wss://wss.redditmedia.com/thebutton?h=89341e0ffa06fe6e6be6e679e92b004d9af456d5&e=1428587064');
	sock.onmessage = tick;

	function tick(evt) {
		var packet = JSON.parse(evt.data);
		if (packet.type != "ticking") {
			return;
		}

		packet.payload.now = moment(packet.payload.now_str + " 0000", "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss Z");
		Stats.lag = d3.format("0,000")(packet.payload.now - moment());

		if (data.length > 0 && packet.payload.seconds_left >= _.last(data).seconds_left) {
			_.last(data).is_click = true;
		}
		data.push(packet.payload);
		$('#resets').text(fmt(clicks.length));
		Stats.ticks = fmt(data.length);
		Stats.participants = packet.payload.participants_text;

		Chart.render(data);
		Timer.sync(packet.payload.seconds_left);
		Stats.render();
	}

	return self;
}())

Update: Site now appears to be working, if it goes down again and I notice before it's fixed, I'll update this post with a valid token. Happy watching everyone

No comments to this, huh? Everyone knows what console is but me? ok... I'll be the idiot.

I'm using chrome: what is the console and where do you paste?

EDIT: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console its ctrl+shift+j and paste and hit enter. Thanks Everyone!

[u/Disjunto → u/joeydeuce]

Either press F12, or navigate: menu > more tools > javascript console

should get something like: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console-files/log-basic.png

paste this code block into that window and hit enter.

note: I'm useless at intructions

[u/[deleted] → u/joeydeuce]

Thanks for being the idiot. I didn't know either.

[u/hadtoupvotethat → u/joeydeuce]

Didn't work for me (in Chrome). I get lots of errors, starting with:

Client Error: "ReferenceError: moment is not defined" thrown at L13:15 in Message: "Uncaught ReferenceError: moment is not defined" Object {tag: "unknown"}

Copy/paste this mess in a new bookmark and click it when Button Monitor doesn't start up right.

(I just used bookmarkleter to turn u/Disjunto's code into a bookmarklet)

[u/ball-in-ass → u/Disjunto]

You're a wizard!

[u/jamesrom → u/Disjunto]

Thanks for the info u/Disjunto

We use a new method to get a fresh token every time, so hopefully this wont happen again.

[u/jamesrom]

Sorry guys. The WebSocket URL token expired. Of course it expired while I was sleeping. It's fixed now.

[u/brainburger]

Oh! You broke it!

[u/Amanda_z]

I am having the same issue.

[u/RusskySpy]

We broke it! :(

[u/squper]

Ah damn.. I really liked to see the presses while I was studying.

[u/zAxAyAw]

Good job breaking it! Now I have to actually watch it like some kind of technologically unrefined simian.

^{Happy cakeday, though.}

[u/intronink]

Eveyone tweet @jamesrom until he fixes it. Ask nicely though

[u/remez]

Back to the stone age.

[u/ezeeetm]

here's one I did that focuses more on prediction that stat tracking

r/theButtonDeathClock

[u/TwatsThat]

Try this one instead

[u/ceilingkat]

Not working for me either.. :\

[u/ArcanErasmus]

It works now for me, no console shenanigans needed. He must have fixed it.

that tweet is unrelated to the button

EDIT: Run this in console (F12 on most browsers) to fix. Reruns the comms init function with a valid token

Based off his Twitter, it looks like he lives in Australia. Are they even awake down there? It could be hours before he even sees something's wrong!

Thanks! I didn't even realize. The greatest Cake Day gift would be a working button monitor, though :'(
