Missing possibility to delete several tasks

[pmonstad]

@Tom-Elliott Here are two scree shots showing top and bottom og the screen. There is no way I can delete/cancel tasks.

I have checked the console and this is the last script loaded: <script src=“js/fog/fog.task.js?ver=36” language=“javascript” type=“text/javascript” defer=“”></script>

Why is there so many tasks? Is the fact that you’re not seeing the “button” due to the fact that it’s below the browser expected information?

[pmonstad]

@Tom-Elliott I don’t know if there is a limit.There is no scroll bar and I can see the footer in the bottom. Why so many tasks? Because I have chosen to deploy a group of hosts. I guess this is a quite common scenario, deploying 20-30 hosts? The missing delete button does not appear of I do a filter to increase the number of filtered tasks.

@pmonstad It’s not uncommon to have a bunch of tasks, I was just wondering if those were actually intentional.

Usually I see around 10-20 tasks as normal, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have more. I am just asking in hopes of a direction to see the button.

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom. Is there a dirty way to cancel/get rid of those tasks? I can try to sort out when the button disappears if I can build a smaller task list

[Wayne Workman]

@pmonstad There is.

mysql
use fog
update tasks set taskStateID=5 where (taskStateID=1 or taskStateID=2 or taskStateID=3);

What that does is sets tasks that are queued, checked in, or in progress to cancelled.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks!

I started over again to see if I could find a way around, and I did:
Now I have one active task, a host waiting for deploy. The delete button is missing. I managed to get the missing button available by doing this:

• One active task (waiting for deploy)
• Hit the Pause auto update button
• Then hit the menu Active Tasks again. Now the delete button is visible in the bottom of the screen

I hope this can help you Tom sorting this out.

@Wayne-Workman You can simplify the statement to cancel all tasks with:

UPDATE `fog`.`tasks` SET `taskStateID`=5 WHERE `taskStateID` IN (0,1,2,3);

[Tom Elliott]

I don’t know if this is fixed but I am hoping so. I moved the cancel button to outside the checker that defines if it should show or not the cancel button to begin with.

[Wayne Workman]

I marked it as solved. If the OP still has issues, he can mark it as unsolved.

[pmonstad]

There is still a problem when I try to cancel one or more tasks. The button is now available and I can cancel a task the first time I enter Task Management. If I try to to more than one cancel nothing happens if I hit the cancel button. Works first time only.

@pmonstad I run svn 5676

Moving back to unsolved, because there is still an issue. Button exists but only first time works.

[Tom Elliott]

I’ve done more work and basically rewrote the js file and how it presents these buttons. Please let me know if it is good now.

[pmonstad]

@Tom-Elliott Now it works as expected. Thanks!
