WebBluetooth and WebSerial not usable on v7.0
-
Hello. After updating to 7.0, Web Bluetooth API and Web Serial API stopped working.
navigator.bluetooth.requestDevice
now throws
NotFoundError: Web Bluetooth is not supported on this platform. For a list of supported platforms see: https://goo.gl/J6ASzs
navigator.serial.requestPort
now throwsNotFoundError: Failed to execute 'requestPort' on 'Serial': No port selected by the user.
Normally device picker dialog should be displayed.
I downloaded and fresh-installed both
Vivaldi.6.9.3447.54.x64
andVivaldi.7.0.3495.2.x64
.
6.9 works normally, 7.0 throws errors.OS: Windows 10 x64 21H2
Bluetooth can be tested at: https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/web-bluetooth/get-characteristics.html?service=generic_attribute
Serial can be tested at: https://sparkfunx.github.io/WebTerminalDemo/ -
@MultiMote WebBluetooth and WebSerial do not give a popup to select the device/port.
Known issue and reports in internal bug tracker.Sad to say: use Chromium in meantime to administrate until Vivaldi has fixed it.
