the loading icon never goes away

maniya

i am using buttons extentions for loading a podf in a new window using window.open, but the loading icon never goes away, it stayas there

buttons: [
   {
      text: 'Export to PDF',
      className: 'export-to-pdf',
      action: function ( e, dt, button, config ) {
         var query = dt.search();
         window.open('generate_pdf.php?case_id=<?= $case_id? ?>&keyword=' + encodeURIComponent(query), '_blank');
      }
   }
],

i want either the loading icon should not show, but if it show it should hide after window.open

Is the loading icon shown on the new page opened by window.open()?

Is it the Datatables loading icon?

Start by looking at the browser's console for errors. For help debugging please post a link to your page or test case replicating the issue.

the pdf loads properly in new window, the icon of the parent page where the datatables is, the loading icon never goes away

Did you look at the browser's console for errors?

Can you post a link to a test case replicating the error so we can help debug?

there is no error on this, it does nothing, i was reading and it says as window.open is async so that is why it is doing that, honestly i have no clue, and if that is the case i would disable that loading icon functionality altogther

Using window.open() with a button works in this test case:

However its not appending parameters nor using variables like your code. Could be something wrong there. Without a test case to debug its impossible to say what the problem is. Maybe update my test case to show the issue.
