Hey! Sorry to hear you're having an issue. That message occurs when we try to asynchronously load a JavaScript bundle for the app and it fails. Typically, that's because we've updated the app and that bundle has been replaced with another file.

That shouldn't be the case for you though so perhaps there's a network issue? Clearing your cache and trying again might resolve it. Feel free to jump on our discord (https://replay.io/discord) and we can help troubleshoot more together.

I'm using just a slightly outdated browser, which is probably the cause. I'm on Ungoogled Chromium 81 (by choice) which doesn't automatically update, and the ||= (boolean OR assignment) operator wasn't added until 85.

Your payload appears to compile down for older browsers (as is evident by the use of `var`, unless.. you actually write code using `var`) but it misses the ||= operator transformation it seems.

Thus, the browser throws a syntax error, which your app interprets as "new version" for some reason.

By the way, please don't disable right clicking. It doesn't actually solve any problems and only annoys users.

Great diagnostics! We'll have to adjust our compilation settings to target a broader browser set.

I've filed an issue regarding the right click issue. That's a fair comment: https://github.com/RecordReplay/devtools/issues/3615

BTW, created https://github.com/RecordReplay/devtools/issues/3619 to follow up on the logical or assignment as well. Should be fixed soon
