What is the expected behavior?

When I am offline, I expect the local GraphQL Playground to load and work against the local server.

What is the actual behavior?

The playground does not load, and displays some CDN-related errors.

What steps may we take to reproduce the behavior?

Disconnect from the internet, and try to load a local GraphQL playground instance.

@pavellishin were you able to solve this problem?

[pavellishin]

No, but I haven't been actively trying, and I haven't been in an offline-work-situation since then.

I faced the same issue today.

Is there any sense of using CDN here? Sure, it should be fixed.

Me too, faced the same issue yesterday when my net went off & I wasn’t able to open Playground.

Have no idea why a CDN is used, instead of a local build.

Would love to see this fixed 👍

This is also an issue for Strapi users where this playground is a plugin.

In my case the cdn is being blocked by the company so I cannot use the playground. There should be an option to not use the cdn here. I was using the standalone Apollo Server 3.0.0.aplha-2

I understand that cdn is needed to be able to get middleware.js because of security issues versus using file protocol with local build. I am not sure if there is a way to render the GraphQL playgound from a non react client without having to depend on a CDN

I see im not the first and surely not the last in have the same issue with the cnd bundles. I know in a ideal world all we developers will have nice and fast internet connections, but thias far far away for been a reallity for everyone, for instance i live in cuba, an i have the "privilege" of have a time messured, expensive and really slown internet service. It will be nice to bundle the react and css files with the repo and leave a note or indication of how to use those instead. As i do my self downloading the cdn bundles and deployit as static with the same express server, and offcourse 'tuning' the original html assamble section of the playground code ( lines 15 and 19 of the graphql-playground-html/dist/render-playground-page.js ).

I don't think they'll get around to this issue, y'all, given that they announced that this is going bye-bye way back in April :/ #1143
