We’re embedding charts into a React application with the @looker/embed-sdk library and have encountered an issue. Some users experience persistent flickering and re-rendering of the embedded charts, which makes them essentially unusable (I’ve attached a video demonstrating this behavior).
Here’s what we know so far:
-
The issue only affects a subset of users and we can’t reproduce it internally.
-
We’re using the latest version of
@looker/embed-sdk. -
The flicker happens consistently for those affected, causing major disruption.
-
We’ve tried to debug but are stuck since we can’t recreate the problem on our end.
Our questions for the community:
-
What are the best debugging approaches when you can’t reproduce an issue locally?
-
Are there any known issues with chart flickering or re-rendering in the
@looker/embed-sdk? -
Any advice on logging or tracing to better diagnose embedded React charts in production environments?
