Office 365 – SharePoint – SPFx – There was a network problem

In my adventures with the new web parts I ran into the following error when I added my web part to a page:

If the problem persists, contact the site administrator and give them the information in Technical Details.

 

***ERROR MESSAGE: ***Failed to load component “4fb1a04a-1d7e-4683-8046-de1646f94fb0” (MyClientSideWebPartWebPart).

As always a very helpful error message.

Within my write-manifests.json file and my deploy-azure-storage I used the following two lines:

“cdnBasePath”: “https:/ /myclientsidewebpart.azureedge.net/my-client-side-webpart/”

Note that the access type is Blob rather than Container!

All I had to do was match everything up and my web part appeared nicely:

So rather than

“container”: “my-client-side-webpart”

I had to go for

“container”: “myclientsidewebpart”
