Kanki should prevent user from trying to write to a leaf resource #4

Closed beppodb closed 8 years ago

beppodb commented 8 years ago

When I compose a resource tree, iRODS (correctly) prohibits me from writing to children of coordinating resources--it will only allow me to write to the root node.

Kanki correctly passes this error along to the user (-1816000), but would be helpful if the leaf nodes were grayed out to begin with.

Thanks, I had forgotten this already, the resource selection feature was a bit quick and dirty. It's definitely better to expose only writable resources to the user. Fix committed to the develop branch: only show resources which have no parent. Is this the correct behaviour? That is when a resource gets a parent it becomes inaccessible directly?

I haven't tested the code yet, but your description is correct.
