Compatibility Findings with AddOns with GT-BE98 Pro

[iTyPsIDg]

But you did not uninstall/reinstall ALL addons? That is what I needed to resolve this same issue shortly after transitioning to the GT-BE98 Pro...

No, I don't have time to do that with all of them right now.

Run this:

awk '/menuName: "Addons"/ {capturing=1} /\]/ && capturing {print; exit} capturing || index($0, "menuName: \"Addons\"") {print}' /tmp/menuTree.js

Send the output back here.

Output:

"") {print}' /tmp/menuTree.js
menuName: "Addons",
index: "menu_Addons",
tab: [
{url: "user2.asp", tabName: "scMerlin"},
{url: "user5.asp", tabName: "connmon"},
{url: "user6.asp", tabName: "ntpMerlin"},
{url: "user7.asp", tabName: "spdMerlin"},
{url: "javascript:var helpwindow=window.open('/ext/shared-jy/redirect.htm')", tabName: "Help & Support"},
{url: "user3.asp", tabName: "Sitemap"},
{url: "NULL", tabName: "__INHERIT__"}
]

{url: "user2.asp", tabName: "scMerlin"},

{url: "user3.asp", tabName: "Sitemap"},
{url: "NULL", tabName: "__INHERIT__"}
]

What browser and system are you seeing this behavior on for reference?
Is it the same with multiple browsers?

This is literally just a shot in the dark as to what might be happening; so don't expect miracles on the first pass.

1. Uninstall scMerlin (requirement)
2. Run the below command:

curl --retry 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AMTM-OSR/scMerlin/refs/heads/Test/scmerlin.sh" -o "/jffs/scripts/scmerlin" && chmod 755 "/jffs/scripts/scmerlin"

3. Run scMerlin in the CLI menu just once (requirement)
4. Logout of the WebUI if your logged in, and refresh and re-login

Report the results.

These scMerlin menus have to go. How many hours are spent on this frivolous, fragile feature?

It's true. It's extremely fragile. So many moving parts. I tried to make the logic flow a bit easier with collecting the menu data, waiting for the page load, and injecting the data for the drop downs. But even then now it looks like some kinda timing issue potential or a caching issue.

To be honest it wouldn't bother me at all if the dropdown menus were disabled or removed.
Big BUT: scMerlin's other features are the reason I use it.
