I can't reproduce this one nor #6198.

So either were corrected at some point by something else (but nothing obvious for that), or they depends on something else. They both seem linked to ajax timeout, so I suspect something like an error in the JS returned interpreted differently by browser, or something like network condition...

Nico, do you still get them ?

So more information: it seems to happen with firefox 31, but not firefox 35.

I can't reproduce it either with firefox 31.4esr.

Nico, could you check it's still here ?

OK, I reproduced it one time.

The problem seems to be that for some reason, the POST:

ruleCompliances = {};
recentChanges = {};
recentGraphs = {};
refreshTable("grid_rules_grid_zone", [{"name": "Global configuration for all nodes", "id": "32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "In application", "trClass": "tooltipabletr ", "checkboxCallback": function(checked) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F59769931248DXIP5V=' + encodeURIComponent(checked), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "Test new rule", "id": "2f706b87-4334-45ba-8f59-72675139b2f9", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "In application", "trClass": "tooltipabletr ", "checkboxCallback": function(checked) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F59769931249UNCJY5=' + encodeURIComponent(checked), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "test reporting cass\u00e9", "id": "2fcbbe40-725c-4676-9432-aeac358f4a5f", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "In application", "trClass": "tooltipabletr ", "checkboxCallback": function(checked) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F59769931250KDS5XN=' + encodeURIComponent(checked), null, null, null);}}]
);
liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler("F59769931251MVSSN3=true", null, null, null);
liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler("F59769931252N1G5GL=true", null, null, null);

Is fired two-time, and the second time, the last liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler leads to the "server can not be contacted at this time".

So, there is two problems:
- why the post is fired two times ? At least, it's wasting resources, at worst it's the door to double-actions
- why firing that handler leads to an error ?

For the last question, it seems that the problem is that the result of the callback ask for refreshing the rule grid, but that there is no more rule grid at that point (since it's deleted).

var ruleTable = $('#'+"grid_rules_grid_zone").dataTable();
var currentPageRow = ruleTable._('tr', {"page":"current"});
var currentPageIds = $.map( currentPageRow , function(val) { return val.id});
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"2f706b87-4334-45ba-8f59-72675139b2f9",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"2fcbbe40-725c-4676-9432-aeac358f4a5f",currentPageIds);

The two last comments were for #6198.

For this one, it seems that sometimes, we don't send back all the compliance.
For example, I have two rules, and the refresh returns only one compliance:

Post 1: return of the refresh:

ruleCompliances = {};
recentChanges = {};
recentGraphs = {};
refreshTable("grid_rules_grid_zone", [{"name": "Global configuration for all nodes", "id": "32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "In application", "trClass": "tooltipabletr ", "callback": function(action) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F1296830236323D5RZM0=' + encodeURIComponent(action), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "Nodes only", "id": "ff31e98b-7325-4926-a8d8-fe551d2c3be1", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "In application", "trClass": "tooltipabletr ", "callback": function(action) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F1296830236324L00WGP=' + encodeURIComponent(action), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "Root only", "id": "a3a796b9-8499-4e0b-86c5-975fc5a13505", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "Not applied", "trClass": "tooltipabletr disabledRule ", "reasons": "Rule disabled, No policy defined", "callback": function(action) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F1296830236325AFKG4A=' + encodeURIComponent(action), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "A new rule!", "id": "2278f76f-28d3-4326-8199-99561dd8c785", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "Not applied", "trClass": "tooltipabletr disabledRule ", "reasons": "Rule disabled, No policy defined, Empty groups", "callback": function(action) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F1296830236326GIEXRV=' + encodeURIComponent(action), null, null, null);}}, {"name": "Test new rule", "id": "f300ef37-55a8-4e7f-947c-bc192599bd6d", "description": "", "applying": false, "category": "", "status": "Not applied", "trClass": "tooltipabletr disabledRule ", "reasons": "Rule disabled, No policy defined, Empty groups", "callback": function(action) {liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler('F1296830236327IBRLLF=' + encodeURIComponent(action), null, null, null);}}]
);
liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler("F1296830236328AUEL1W=true", null, null, null);
liftAjax.lift_ajaxHandler("F1296830236329OJ0LRE=true", null, null, null);

Post 2 (first ajax handler ?): build compliance bar: only one !!

$("#compliance-bar-32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b").html(buildComplianceBar([0.0, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0]));
ruleCompliances['32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b'] = [0.0, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 0.0, 0.0];

Post three: build change graphs:

var ruleTable = $('#'+"grid_rules_grid_zone").dataTable();
var currentPageRow = ruleTable._('tr', {"page":"current"});
var currentPageIds = $.map( currentPageRow , function(val) { return val.id});
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"2278f76f-28d3-4326-8199-99561dd8c785",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"a3a796b9-8499-4e0b-86c5-975fc5a13505",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"ff31e98b-7325-4926-a8d8-fe551d2c3be1",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"f300ef37-55a8-4e7f-947c-bc192599bd6d",currentPageIds);
computeChangeGraph({"x": [], "y": []},"32377fd7-02fd-43d0-aab7-28460a91347b",currentPageIds) ;

So, why only one ?

So, the explanation is that we actually don't have any data for the corresponding rule.

Doing the scenario in slow motion:
- we are saving the rule so that it passes from a "not activate" status from an "in application" one - say we add a target to the rule
- a promise generation is started
- the page is reloaded
- rule compliance are displayed - the promises are still reloading.

So, for the new rule, it's likelly that we DON'T HAVE YET expected reports for it. So no expected reports means the little wheel is not replaced by a bar.

If it was only that, we could say that the little wheel meaning is OK - we actually are waiting for things. But in the common shared brain, it means "the browser is waiting for data" - not what we want our user to think.
Moreover, there is an other (border-edge) case to take care of:

Say we have a rule R1, applying to group G one directive whose Technique T is unique.
Say we have an other rule R2 that is also applying to group G a directive from the same Technique T, but with a higher priority.

Then for R1, there is NO expected reports at all. Because they are all overriden, and see #5329 for what was done.

So for them, the weel is not an option.

I propose the simple text "no data available" for that.
