eXist-db 5.1.1 Dashboard broken on macOS Safari

[ahenket]

What is the problem

I installed a vanilla version of eXist-db 5.1.1 (dmg version) on macOS Catalina. All I adjusted was port 8877 for http and 8843 for https

After it created the initial database I tried to go to the Dashboard in Safari (my default browser), but get a white screen. FireFox appears to work.

The browser inspector gives errors like:

Not allowed to load local resource: data:text/javascript;charset=utf-8,(function()%7B'use%20strict'%3B%2F**%20%40const%20%7BObject%7D%20*%2Fconst%20CaseMap%3DPolymer.CaseMap%3B%2F%2F%20Monotonically%20increasing%20unique%20ID%20used%20for%20de-duping%20effects%20triggered%0A%2F%2F%20from%20multiple%20properties%20in%20the%20same%20turn%0Alet%20dedupeId%3D0%3B%2F**%0A%20%20%20*%20Property%20effect%20types%3B%20effects%20are%20stored%20on%20the%20prototype%20using%20these%20keys%0A%20%20%20*%20%40enum%20%7Bstring%7D%0A%20%20%20*%2Fconst%20TYPE...st)%7D%2C%2F**%0A%20%20%20%20%20*%20%40param%20%7B*%7D%20inst%20Instance%20to%20end%20hosting%0A%20%20%20%20%20*%20%40return%20%7Bvoid%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%20*%20%40this%20%7BhostStack%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%20*%2FendHosting(inst)%7Blet%20stackLen%3Dthis.stack.length%3Bif(stackLen%26%26this.stack%5BstackLen-1%5D%3D%3Dinst)%7Bthis.stack.pop()%7D%7D%7D%7D)()%3B%0A%2F%2F%23%20sourceURL%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8877%2Fexist%2Fapps%2Fdashboard%2Fbower_components%2Fpolymer%2Flib%2Fmixins%2Fproperty-effects.html.js%0A

is the issue the same for a different browser?

I would guess this is the same issue we are discussing here: Cacti/cacti#3195

Public Beta 2 of 10.15.3 (19D62e) appears to have radically changed the security model in Safari.

@dizzzz. No as mentioned in the ticket, FireFox works normally. It's very possible that the issue compares to the Cacti issue that @ibatten linked to. It sure looks the same.

sorry you are right. Hmmmmm
