Missing possibility to delete several tasks

[Tom Elliott]

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?

@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.

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!
