Error when assigning user to task with group

[ajefts]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click Launch Challenge
2. Select F2F and setup a task
3. Check the Task checkbox
4. Set a group
5. Attempt to add a "Assignee".

Results: An error pops up and I can't add any user.

Note: It seems to work fine if no group is set.

@ajefts ,
The error occurs when handling the response from the group member search API.
Can you check which group member api is configured in dev environment, and point to its source code ? (The value of this config parameter https://github.com/appirio-tech/direct-app/blob/dev/token.properties.example#L394)
Thanks

@Schpotsky Here is what I see:

dev:

@memberSearchApiUrl@=https://api.topcoder-dev.com/v3/members/_suggest/
@groupMemberSearchApiUrl@=https://www.topcoder-dev.com/direct/group/member?handle=
@groupMemberApiUrl@=http://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/groups/%d/members

prod:

@memberSearchApiUrl@=https://api.topcoder.com/v3/members/_suggest/
@groupMemberSearchApiUrl@=https://www.topcoder.com/direct/group/member?handle=
@groupMemberApiUrl@=https://api.topcoder.com/v5/groups/%s/members

[Schpotsky]

@ajefts ,
This is a configuration issue in the dev environment.
Please change "@groupMemberApiUrl@=http://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/groups/%d/members" to "@groupMemberApiUrl@=http://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/groups/%s/members"
"%d" => "%s"
In Groups V5 API the group ids are strings not integers:
https://github.com/topcoder-platform/groups-api/blob/develop/src/services/GroupMembershipService.js#L262
https://github.com/topcoder-platform/groups-api/blob/develop/app-bootstrap.js#L8
https://github.com/topcoder-platform/groups-api/blob/develop/app-bootstrap.js#L7

[ajefts]

oh, nice catch if that's it!

I'm restarting the dev app with the updated config. Can you please test in a few minutes to see if that resolves it?

[Schpotsky]

ok, will test in few minutes

[Schpotsky]

The error disappeared now.
But, cannot assign members, one of the following error occur:
-- Getting no suggestion
-- Getting the error 'The form has already been processed or no token was supplied, please try again.'

[ajefts]

hmmm...I see the same. It seems like when it does find a match it's getting that "already processed" error

[Schpotsky]

Is it possible to get some logs for these errors from the dev environment ?

[Schpotsky]

I see that the error that occurs when getting the group members is swallowed at https://github.com/appirio-tech/direct-app/blob/dev/src/web/scripts/launch/main.js#L390
And it returns 'Problem getting members' error text which is not useful for debugging
It could be changed to propagate the error from the api
error: function(e) {
throw e;
}

[ajefts]

sure.

[Schpotsky]

I'm working on setting up my local environment with direct-app + mock v5 groups API to make debugging easier

[ajefts]

ok, great. I think that will be a good investment for cases where we need to work on the legacy JBoss apps

[Schpotsky]

Deployed the direct-app locally + a mock v5 groups API and reproduced the issue locally.
Fixed issue demo video: https://monosnap.com/file/r1faO4KZPVf0MMp12WbTQVqhRZSWb3

Please check the PR #524

Also make sure to update the configuration in dev environment :
"@groupMemberApiUrl@=http://api.topcoder-dev.com/v5/groups/%s/members" , this config parameter should use https instead of http to avoid mixed Content error

[ajefts]

great work @Schpotsky . I'm going to give this a try in dev and see how it goes

[ajefts]

It works in dev. Very nice job!

[Schpotsky]

Great!
