I have the following piece of code ``` this.http.get(version).pipe( map(res => res.json())).subscribe(data => { this.storage.ready().then(()=> { this.storage.set('version', data); currentVersion = 1; if(currentVersion < data) { this.storage.set('version', data); this.http.get(website1).pipe( map(res => res.json())).subscribe(data => { this.storage.set('website1', data.items); }); this.router.navigateByUrl('/app/tabs/outsideTheLoadingScreen'); }); } ); ``` Which works well with ionic serve, I get it working even with cordova in browser, it fails when I try to go back in history, but still loads all the content. I added access and allow-navigation to the config.xml and also the plugins whitelist and advanced http. Does anyone has any clues about this? Can it be the fact that I use ionic 3 instead of ionic 4? ---

When are you reading from storage? ---

After I start the app, I check in ionViewWillEnter() ---

So regarding the `storage.set` calls in the code you posted: can you confirm that you are _not_ expecting to be able to read this information until the next time the app has been quit and restarted? ---

For the version variable ,yes, I check it only when the app is started. ---

OK, then can you be more explicit about what “not working” means? What are you expecting to happen? What actually happens? How are those things different? ---

Sorry if I wasn’t clear from the beginning. The code will check for the version so if this.http.get(version) will not return something then execution of the code will not continue, the version that I get doesn’t matter since the currentVersion \< data always returns true. ---

I asked three specific questions, and am not seeing an answer to any of them. What are you expecting to happen? What actually happens? How are those two different? ---

I expect both http.get to return a promise. If first http.get doesn’t return anything then the app will be stuck into loading screen and that is happening. If the first http.get will return a value then the loading screen will dissapear. ---

> [@raresont](#): > > the app will be stuck into loading screen I don’t see anything involving loading screens in what you have posted. Can you provide a [minimal complete example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) that people can use to reproduce your issue? ---

The page where this is executed is considered a loading page, after the http.get returns the promise then \_this.router.navigateByUrl(’/app/tabs/(schedule:schedule)’); is triggered, I updated the code. I am sure that the problem is from http.get. I compared my code with another project where this works and I didn’t saw my problem, I think that it comes from some settings. ---

Sorry, but apparently I’m not communicating with you very well, so somebody else is going to have to take over. ---

Im not going to attempt a specific answer, more some rules of thumb Ive found that work for me: if promises are involved, putting logic in the **.then** makes for code that is difficult to debug and maintain. I recommend you refactor it out, along the lines of this sloppy and incomplete pseudo code ```auto http.get ( .. stuff ..).then(res => { this.somename(res); }, (err) => { ... process error }) somename(data) { if (do some logic) { storage.set _// ??? does this return a promise ???_ } } ``` ---
