BUG Cancelling shut down

Tex1954 · August 5, 2023, 5:07pm

Using Firefox, I do the Shutdown command and get a prompt that says “Are You Sure?”.

Well, just for fun I said cancel and it gets stuck in a loop constantly asking “Are You Sure” and that’s the end of that. I close the Tab, reconnect to my 4.6.1 Rocknas backup and all is okay again!

Really, this is a level 0 bug or something to do with Firefox, but I think it’s funny!

LOL!

@Tex1954 Hello again.

Yes, this has been this way for a while now unfortunately. Quite the silly bug really. But as you say easy to circumvent. All down to human resources really. We have many updates to address in our dependencies, and more pressing bugs to address, and so this one keeps slipping by.

We have it reported (by me) from way back here:

github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core

Repeating reboot/shutdown confirmation dialog on selecting 'cancel'

opened 11:50AM - 16 Sep 21 UTC

When selecting 'Cancel' on both the Reboot and Shutdown confirmation dialogs, wh…en activated from the dashboard (in reproducer), the same confirmation dialog re-appears. Subsequent cancels are then effective in properly cancelling the Reboot/Shutdown operation but a loop of 2 or 3 'repeat cancels' can sometimes be necessary. An initial suspicion was a negative interplay with our "Please select a Rockstor package Update Channel" dashboard dialog when neither testing or stable updates have been applied. However the same behaviour was observed on the same machine after having been subscribed to testing so that the reminder dialog no longer appears. Rockstor version 4.0.8-0. Reproduced in both Chrome and Firefox, although the bounce count/likelihood was greater in Firefox. The OK selection in both Reboot and Shutdown dialogs is not affected by this 'bounce' bug. Also note that in Chrome and Firefox, on higher numbers of bounce, the browser can end up not returning to the Rockstor Web-UI all-together and simply returning the home or prior visited page. The current Rockstor Web-UI page, e.g. Dashoboard, Disks, etc, when the Reboot/Shutdown dialog is invoked does not seem to affect this behaviour. Thanks to @eric-marcus-mbu for helping to highlight this bug in the following feature request issue #2312

Thanks for the report however, and I’ve suitably added you and this thread as a more recent reference.
I’m surprise it hasn’t come up more often here on the forum actually.

Cheers.

I just pressed Cancel for grins to see what happened!

LOL!

It’s not really a bug but a funny Gotchya!

LOL!

PS: Loving 4.6.1 so far! Getting ready to upgrade other setup now…

This happens in my new installation (installed a few days ago), too. However: no matter which answer I choose, the system just shuts down. I never just closed the tab though.
