Problem: After setting up compute profiles to have good defaults for various values, the “interfaces” tab of the “create new host” workflow glitches.
Specifically, on the “interfaces” tab I click the “edit” button. The background dims out and a panel appears, overlaying the page, showing details on that interface so I can edit it. So far so good.
But then the panel disappears, but the background remains dimmed out. I can’t click on any buttons on the page (e.g. I can’t click “edit” to open the panel again). “Escape” does nothing. The only apparent solution is to reload the page and restart the host creation process.
A smaller issue that is probably related: since adding the compute profiles, the various tabs of the “create host” workflow are slower to load. There is a big delay after choosing the compute profile on the hosts tab, while the wheel spins at the top of the screen. I can load the virtual machine tab, but it shows the wrong defaults. Then if I click to a different tab (e.g. OS) and click back to the virtual machine tab, then the defaults are correctly showing as defined in the compute profile.
Expected outcome: The interfaces editing panel should not disappear without user action being taken. It should especially not disappear and leave the page unusable.
Foreman and Proxy versions: 3.7
Distribution and version: Debian 11.7
Other relevant data: The compute profile isn’t anything fancy, it’s just defaults for disk size, CPU count, etc. The full details are: --compute-attributes cpus=4,memory=8589934592 --volume capacity=30G,allocation=0G,format_type=qcow2 --interface compute_bridge=br21
Workaround: By waiting a bunch before clicking that “edit” button in the first place, and then also hitting “edit” and then quickly hitting “cancel” so the panel doesn’t disappear, waiting a bit more, etc., I can then open the panel and edit the interface (e.g. to set a static IP) without it disappearing on me. Probably not all of the waiting and hitting cancel is actually necessary; I haven’t found the exact limits on what is necessary for the panel to not disappear. But it shouldn’t disappear at all and this is very annoying.
