| Perfect! The build succeeds. Now let's commit this debug version so you can test it on iOS and see what the logs tell us: | |
| --- | |
| ## 🤖 Claude | |
| I've added comprehensive debug logging to diagnose the issue. Here's what I need you to do: | |
| ## Test on iOS | |
| 1. **Build and deploy** the latest code to your iOS device | |
| 2. **Navigate to Events page** in list view mode | |
| 3. **Open the Logs page** (Settings → Logs) | |
| 4. **Look for these log messages**: | |
| ### Expected logs to find: | |
| **From Events.tsx callback ref:** | |
| ``` | |
| Events callback ref fired | |
| { | |
| el: "DIV element" or "null", | |
| clientHeight: <number>, | |
| scrollHeight: <number> | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| **From EventListView:** | |
| ``` | |
| EventListView render | |
| { | |
| hasParentElement: true/false, | |
| hasParentRef: true/false, | |
| eventsCount: 43, | |
| totalSize: <number>, | |
| virtualItemsCount: <number> | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| **Either:** | |
| ``` | |
| EventListView: no parentElement, showing loading | |
| ``` | |
| OR | |
| ``` | |
| EventListView: rendering list | |
| { | |
| totalSize: <number>, | |
| virtualItemsCount: <number> | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| ## What to check: | |
| 1. **Does the callback ref fire?** - Should see "Events callback ref fired" with element info | |
| 2. **Does EventListView get parentElement?** - Check `hasParentElement: true/false` | |
| 3. **What's the totalSize?** - Should be around 6,020px (43 events × 140px) | |
| 4. **How many virtualItems?** - Should be > 0 if virtualizer is working | |
| **Please copy and paste the relevant log entries** so I can see exactly what's happening on iOS. | |

| Perfect! The logs reveal the exact problem: | |
| ``` | |
| WARN [EventDetail] EventListView: no parentElement, showing loading | |
| INFO [EventDetail] EventListView: rendering list {"totalSize":6020,"virtualItemsCount":0} | |
| ``` | |
| Two things are happening: | |
| 1. **First render**: No parentElement → shows loading (expected) | |
| 2. **Second render**: Has parentElement → renders list BUT **virtualItemsCount is 0**! | |
| The virtualizer has the correct totalSize (6020px for 43 events) but is returning **zero virtual items to render**. This means the virtualizer thinks there are no items in the viewport. | |
| The issue is that the virtualizer's `getScrollElement: () => parentRef.current` might be getting the ref **before** it's properly measured, or the scroll container has zero height. | |
| Let me add more diagnostic logging to check the parent dimensions: | |
| --- | |
| ## 🤖 Claude | |
| Perfect! I've added more detailed logging. The issue is now clear from your previous logs: | |
| ## What's Happening | |
| **The virtualizer is returning 0 items even though:** | |
| - totalSize = 6020px (correct) | |
| - eventsCount = 43 (correct) | |
| - parentElement exists (second render) | |
| This means **the virtualizer thinks there are no items in the viewport** - likely because the scroll container has zero height. | |
| ## Enhanced Logging | |
| I've added logging to show: | |
| - Scroll element dimensions (clientHeight, scrollHeight, offsetHeight) | |
| - Whether parentElement === parentRef.current | |
| - ERROR log when virtualItems is 0 but we have events | |
| ## Please Test Again | |
| Deploy this version and look for these new log entries: | |
| ``` | |
| EventListView render | |
| { | |
| hasParentElement: true/false, | |
| hasParentRef: true/false, | |
| parentSame: true/false, | |
| eventsCount: 43, | |
| totalSize: 6020, | |
| virtualItemsCount: 0, | |
| scrollElement: { | |
| clientHeight: ???, <-- This is key! | |
| scrollHeight: ???, | |
| offsetHeight: ??? | |
| } | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| And you should also see: | |
| ``` | |
| ERROR EventListView: virtualizer returned 0 items but we have events | |
| ``` | |
| **The clientHeight is the critical value** - if it's 0, that explains why the virtualizer returns no items. Please share the new logs! | |

| Excellent! Now I can see the exact problem: | |
| ``` | |
| scrollElement: { clientHeight: 618, scrollHeight: 618, offsetHeight: 618 } | |
| virtualItemsCount: 0 | |
| ``` | |
| The scroll element has a proper height (618px) BUT the virtualizer is returning 0 items. This happens because **the virtualizer was initialized before the scroll element was available**. | |
| Here's the sequence: | |
| 1. **First render**: `parentRef.current` is null → EventListView returns "Loading..." | |
| 2. **Second render**: `parentRef.current` is set → but the virtualizer doesn't realize it should re-measure | |
| The virtualizer needs to be told to **re-measure** when the scroll element becomes available. Let me fix this: | |
| --- | |
| ## 🤖 Claude | |
| Perfect! I found and fixed the root cause. Here's what was happening: | |
| ## The Problem | |
| **Timeline:** | |
| 1. **First render**: `parentRef.current` is `null` | |
| - `useVirtualizer` initializes with `getScrollElement: () => null` | |
| - Component returns "Loading..." early | |
| 2. **Second render**: `parentRef.current` is now the DIV element | |
| - `useVirtualizer` is called again, but it was already initialized | |
| - The virtualizer **never re-measured** the viewport | |
| - Result: `virtualItemsCount: 0` despite having 43 events | |
| The virtualizer was stuck thinking there was no scroll container to measure! | |
| ## The Solution | |
| Added a `useEffect` that **forces the virtualizer to re-measure** when `parentElement` becomes available: | |
| ```typescript | |
| useEffect(() => { | |
| if (parentElement) { | |
| log.eventDetail('EventListView: forcing virtualizer to measure', LogLevel.INFO); | |
| rowVirtualizer.measure(); | |
| } | |
| }, [parentElement, rowVirtualizer]); | |
| ``` | |
| This tells the virtualizer to: | |
| 1. Re-query the scroll element (now non-null) | |
| 2. Measure viewport dimensions (618px height) | |
| 3. Calculate which items should be visible | |
| ## Please Test | |
| Deploy this version and you should see: | |
| 1. The event list appears immediately ✓ | |
| 2. New log: `"EventListView: forcing virtualizer to measure"` | |
| 3. After that log, `virtualItemsCount` should be > 0 (around 5-6 items) | |
| Let me know if the event list now shows correctly on iOS! | |

| Excellent! The event list is working now. Let me clean up the debug logging we added during investigation: |
