Firebase won't change message

Robert Gillespie asked 4 years ago

Hi:  I’m working with the Firebase ESP32 and Rui’s and Sara’s new book on connecting from anywhere.  I have not yet deployed the code but I have it all working with the two on-off buttons turning things on and off.  The BME280 gives the correct temps, pressure, and humidity.  The message reads correctly on the OLED screen.  I cannot, however, change the message using the http://localhost:5000  The message will highlight but I cannot make changes via the keyboard.  I can make them if I go to firebase.google.com on that screen.  What am I going wrong or is it not possible to change the message via the keyboard on http://localhost:5000?  I’m afraid to deploy until I know this is corrected.  Any ideas for what could be wrong and how do I fix it?

Hi.
Make sure you’ve saved the right JavaScript file (that can handle the message) and that you’ve done a hard refresh on your browser (CTRL+F5 on PC, or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac).
You can deploy your app and see if something changes.
Regards,
Sara

Hi Sara:
I’ll bet you folks hate to be bothered with people like me who have so many questions.  The book was certainly worth it but you are putting in a lot of extra time.  I promise to buy another book later.
In any case, I have the firebase deployed and it is working for the BME380 and the PWM and the on-off buttons.  I can also change the message from my smartphone.
Sara, you are a genius and I truly appreciate your efforts for me.  I wish you a most happy Christmas season.
Thanks.
Bob

Hi Robert.
Don’t worry about that.
We are here to help.
So, just to make it clear, is everything working as expected at the moment?
