"Add to group" dropdown broken on host search

[Tom Elliott]

Do you have a group name who’s only character is a space?

I can’t reproduce.

For example from working RC-9:

And from RC-8:

@Tom-Elliott Here’s a screenshot of our groups listing on that server. I should also note that I’m using IE11 on Windows 8.1.

I’m running from IE11 on Windows 10 and I’m not seeing the issue. I don’t have any systems with Windows 8.1 though.

Do a search in host management - use the “New Search” thing, it’s the default page when you click Host Management.

Search for Test-650G1-01 and see what happens.

Then search for Image-Test and see what happens.

[Darrin Enerson]

@Wayne-Workman Same result on both searches:

@Darrin-Enerson Next, please try to delete the one group you have, not the hosts in it, just the group. See how that affects it.

[Darrin Enerson]

@Wayne-Workman Group deleted:

New search for Test-650G1-01:

@Darrin-Enerson Well that makes no sense at all. You could delete the web directory and re-install fog RC-8 to guarantee your web files are good.

rm -rf /var/www/html/fog
Then, re-install fog 1.3.0 RC-8, do it as usual. it’ll rebuild the web directory. Then see if the issue is fixed.

Also, I’m going to give you SQL to check your groups.

mysql
use fog;
select groupID,groupName from groups;

@Wayne-Workman The SQL commands produce this:

[root@fogserver ~]# mysql

I deleted /var/www/html/fog as directed and then reinstalled fog from my existing git pull. Created new group “Test”.

Searched for “Test-650G1-01” with the same result:

Here is the result of the same SQL commands after this process:

[root@fogserver bin]# mysql

@Darrin-Enerson See if the GUI issue happens on a totally different computer. See if it happens when using Chrome in Incognito mode. Try with Firefox using Privacy Mode.

[Darrin Enerson]

@Wayne-Workman Both Firefox 48.0.1 and Chrome 52.0.2743.116 m load the drop down appropriately on the same computer that is experiencing the issue in IE11.0.9600.18350. When I try the same page on a different computer running Windows 7 Enterprise with IE11.0.9600.18426 I get the same result with the drop down not appearing correctly. Seems to be an issue with IE11 on Windows 8.1 and 7 at the very least.

[Wayne Workman]

@Darrin-Enerson My advice would be to not use IE for FOG management.

Tom can’t reproduce with IE, nor can I. So the issue is specific to your IE settings, your image, your group policy, whatever it is, it’s specific to you.

[Darrin Enerson]

@Wayne-Workman That’s something that I’d considered but what gets me is that the drop down loads appropriately on the “List All Hosts” page. I haven’t taken a look to be certain but I’d guess that the code is the same for both pages for that part so the fact that it works on one for me and not the other would seem to indicate a bug that I’m hitting due to some edge or corner case.
