[11:38:08 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> hello uPortal devs: athena: do you know about the entity-selector.js file for the groups and categories? Its giving an error for me in the updateBreadcrumbs method. the entity passed into it is undefiend. I'm wondering if I've got some bad markup somewhere.
[13:52:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> $!@#$@#$ portlet caching is complicated
[13:54:32 CDT(-0500)] <athena> 
[13:54:42 CDT(-0500)] <athena> projects that don't publish their artifacts are a pain
[13:54:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that too
[13:54:53 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm glad nick wrote a bunch of tests
[14:11:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> tests good
[14:19:59 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> hello athena: do you know where I could debug groups and categories that aren't showing up in the portal admin? it relates to UP-3345 in that I no longer get an exception, but none of my groups or categories show up.
[14:20:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> what's specifically the problem?
[14:20:57 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> entity-selector.js
[14:21:18 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> I'll find the line ...
[14:22:10 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> line 259 " key = entity.entityType + ':' + entity.id;" entityType is undefined. its passed into that method as an argument.
[14:23:07 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> maybe there are no groups returned.
[14:25:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena> can you set a breakpoint in the js and see what the entity object looks like?
[14:25:32 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> its actually undefined
[14:27:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok, that does sound like a problem
[14:27:37 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> thats what makes me think there are no groups available to build the breadcrumbs
[14:27:47 CDT(-0500)] <athena> is that for the very first ajax request?
[14:27:52 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> maybe it has to do w/ us using grouper?
[14:27:58 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> it is.
[14:28:02 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> for the first request
[14:28:05 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok
[14:28:07 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> same goes for categories
[14:28:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so it sounds like it's not able to locate that root group
[14:28:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> maybe step through that ajax target servlet w/ a debugger and see what's going on?
[14:28:28 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> so the page doesn't fail to load, but processing stops in that file
[14:28:42 CDT(-0500)] <athena> makes sense
[14:28:44 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> yeah. thats what I'm looking for now. the servlet
[14:29:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i believe that should be EntitiesRESTController.java
[14:29:01 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> do you know off hand which one I should check out?
[14:29:11 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> oh ok. thanks. I'll step through it.
[14:30:20 CDT(-0500)] <athena> looks like that delegates to groupListHelper, so you may need to look there as well
[14:32:29 CDT(-0500)] <athena> EricDalquist: i just pushed out a UP-2603 branch w/ the stats report
[14:32:42 CDT(-0500)] <athena> can't push to trunk until that dependency is available
[14:32:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great
[14:32:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> who knows
[14:33:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> considering how much grief this portlet caching stuff is giving me
[14:33:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it might still make it
[14:33:15 CDT(-0500)] <athena> lol
[14:33:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> well, we'll see
[14:34:31 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> did you submit the request to sonatype?
[14:36:33 CDT(-0500)] <athena> well, i tried filing it and it didn't work
[14:36:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> filed a JIRA, haven't heard back
[14:37:26 CDT(-0500)] <athena> worried that actually the problem is that the project has published to central before
[14:37:30 CDT(-0500)] <athena> it's just this version they haven't published
[14:37:35 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so i'm not sure i'm going to be able to do it :/
[14:37:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well
[14:37:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> guess i can also send a request to google, but don't know if they'll do anything
[14:37:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we can always be bad
[14:37:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and prepend org.jasig. to the groupId 
[14:37:58 CDT(-0500)] <athena> suppose so 
[14:38:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we wouldn't be the first
[14:39:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah
[14:39:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> alright, filed an issue w/ the google project too
[14:39:50 CDT(-0500)] <athena> in case they decide to be helpful
[14:39:55 CDT(-0500)] <athena> though that release has been out for like a year
[14:40:01 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist>
[14:45:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> blarg
[14:45:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so it appears that tomcat calls response.getWriter().close()
[14:45:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> after doing a forward
[14:46:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which is how resources are served
[14:46:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the problem is if the portlet does a setUseCachedContent(true) that call commits the response ...
[14:46:37 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> need to figure out what I changed
[14:46:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since this apparently worked before
[14:55:36 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> hello athena: for the EntitiesRESTController.java, the findEntity method does return the root node of "Everyone" plus its children. so they are being lost further on, If I continue stepping through the code, it goes into some autogenerated spring code that doesn't have source availalbe.
[14:56:13 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> so maybe the data is being lost in the javascript somewhere.
[14:57:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok, that helps
[14:57:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> my guess in that case is that this might be a permissions issue
[14:57:57 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> ok. the dataset is imported from our 3.2.5 export. maybe I need to reimport the permissions from the export?
[14:58:03 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ah!
[14:58:04 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok
[14:58:12 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> I'll try that now...
[14:58:12 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yes, that sounds really plausible
[14:58:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> have you imported the 4.0 data set at all?
[14:58:39 CDT(-0500)] <athena> there are a new permissions, permission mappings, etc.
[14:58:50 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> I did. I reimported the required and default data sets because I was having an issue w/ guest user not loading
[14:59:19 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> I'll reimport the exported permissions now to see if that helps.
[14:59:48 CDT(-0500)] <athena> the other possibility is that there's something going on w/ the spring security + your shibboleth setup
[15:00:41 CDT(-0500)] <athena> you might step through the PortalPermissionEvaluator to see if you can narrow down the behavior
[15:00:43 CDT(-0500)] <b-sure> I would think for that then maybe madison would have a similar issue.
