[Solved] Developer tools not visible, only shows blank page

Configuration
1

I’m running the HA docker image. Since a recent upgrade, my left panel no longer works properly. A new developer_tools option is present but that only leads to a blank page. The services and states buttons also only show a blank page too. I’ve force refreshed my browser cache (ctrl-f5 and through settings) and connected from a totally clean browser on a different computer.
I’ve tested this a bit by launching a docker instance of various versions of HA and they all show a completely different side panel than what I have.
I don’t have any sidebar customizations. Any ideas on how to solve this?

This is what it looks like running 0.99.2. Which totally not what it’s suppose to look like.

if you click on the little circle with the “i” in it what does it show?

The “i” only shows a blank page.

If I refresh the page, the URL changes to “http://192.168.1.11:8123/developer-tools/info”

the last URL that popped up is the correct URL for the latest version.

I think at this point since you’ve cleared the cache and have done all of the “usual” things to try to fix it is to remove the HA docker container and recreate it using the latest image. And it might be worth it to remove the HA image from your system to force the image to be re-downloaded to make sure you didn’t get some kind of corrupted image in the last update.

Loading it through docker-compose and I’m explicitly tagging the version. At any rate, I’ve cleared everything and started it again, no luck. No errors in HA log either. There must be something in the config directory that is persisted making this happen but I have no idea what that could be.

Restarting docker compose:
docker-compose down; docker-compose rm home-assistant; docker-compose up --detach

Relevant section of docker-compose.yml

version: '2'
services:
  home-assistant:
    image: 'homeassistant/home-assistant:0.99.2'
    network_mode: 'host'
    ports:
      - '8123'
...

this is what my 0.99.2 look like

did you do a ctrl+F5

I fixed the issue. Turns out /config/deps contains dependencies setup by HA at some point. Those deps were not being updated for some reason. So I remove that directory and restart. BAM! It’s all working again.
