ServiceStudio cannot be launched even if you press the Lifetime module comparison but
Application Type
Traditional Web
Service Studio Version
11.54.80 (Build 63648)
Platform Version
11.18.1 (Build 37828)

Until last week, I was using the Lifetime module comparison button to compare sources, but since yesterday, it suddenly stopped working. Many members can't do it, but some can. 

However, we haven't changed the permissions recently. What could be the reason? Could you please tell me? 

The URL for the button is 

https://xxx.com/lifetime/Application_Details.aspx?ApplicationId=xxx

We are also experiencing the same issue in our environment. Basically its throwing an javascript exception irrespective of the browser when we click on 'Compare module in Service Studio'.

Workaround is to copy the highlighted text below and replace  space with %20 and paste in browser url and it opens Service Studio and shows the comparision.

Hello,

Can you please share screenshot of what happens when you open this application in lifetime? Or explain more about the issue.

And please check application permission documentation which may help you, may be someone applied permissions to this application

Hey Ren,

Not sure if this is the same problem but from your description, it looks like. 

Google just launched a new version of Chromium that impacts how browsers validate Custom Protocols. This is making some of our Service Studio URLs invalid, like the comparison one in LifeTime. 

As this depends on the browser version, it would justify that some people can keep using it but others don't.

We are already on top of it to release new versions with the fix.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can disable this Chrome feature as stated here.

Hope it helps!

Thank you for your help!

I was able to do both methods, replacing the URL text and adding the Chrome option.

I'd say the real solution is not to manually replace spaces in links or add startup flags to Chrome, but to start using Firefox for LifeTime and ServiceCenter.
Chrome has gotten too powerful and we're entering the same era as with Internet Explorer again, in which one single browser forces their own 'standards' to all of us.

@Miguel Rebelo any chance other (non-Chromium) browsers can be selected for debugging in the future? Because when kept following Chrome's own standards and forced update policies could eventually result in a future risk for OutSystems.

Unfortunately Firefox also seems to have stopped working.

Yea, it seems to be broken for Firefox now as well. I assume a recent change from either OutSystems or Mozilla was deployed?

@Miguel Rebelo any ETA on a fix?

The fix will work if you also remove the single quote on both ends of the text that you copy to open Service Studio, otherwise it does not work.

As for today no browser works well - except Microsoft Edge working in Internet Explorer mode.

Current Chrome version (134.0.6998.89) works for me. The flag that was supplied above as a workaround is gone in this version (M134). 

Opening ServiceStudio in Firefox is still broken. It seems the onclick argument is different. Is there some Chrome-specific code being executed on this page?

Hm, ridiculous. The same Chrome version doesn't work on my computer and still raises the above described exception.

Hi everyone,

Just saw the latest comments and seems you are still using a old LifeTime version without the fix for this problem. We have released 11.25.0 of LifeTime back in Oct 31st, 2024 that includes a fix to overcome this issue:
Fixed ServiceStudio links in LifeTime to make them compatible with Chrome browser policies. (RPM-5292)

I would like to recommend the update of LifeTime environment to overcome this issue and if you have any further problems please reach out to our Support so that we can keep evolving the product to better service you :)

Cheers,
Jose Ramalho

Hi José,

Well, I'm using a cloud environment, that is of course maintained by OS, now is the middle of March but LifeTime is still 11.16.1....

Anyway, the described issue concerns all the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge, Opera). So, it is not the issue of compatibility with Chrome only.

Regards

Tomasz
