Bug: First publisher added does not work properly

[sseppi]

• Device: Desktop

• Operating System: Ubuntu

• Browser: insert the Chrome, Brave and Firefox

• Problem Description: As data browser logged user if I want to add a new publisher to a record, the first time I click on the Add new publisher button, it appears only the link to the Drin Publisher without any possibility to change the added publisher. If you try to add a second time the behavior is correct. Steps to reproduce the bug:

  1. Login into the data browser with a user that has write rights;
  2. Open a record of a dataset that has Publisher configured;
  3. Click on Add new publisher
  4. Click on Add new publisher another time

• Expected behavior: Also when the user clicks on the Add new publisher button the first time the component should add a new empty line to the Publisher table. This new line should contain in the column Name a Dropdown menu that allows the user to select the Publisher he wants to add.

• Screenshots: Screenshot of the empty Publisher table:

@gappc can you please have a look at this bug, so we can discuss it at the next refinement meeting?

Same issue also noted in the Category and Data Provider table of the "Dataset Information" dataset

@sseppi that's a strange issue, it doesn't happen with the latest commit of the development branch (849621b2307efd44841d633b659dd4672d7461cb) when started locally. For example, if I open http://localhost:3000/dataset/edit/tourism/v1/ODHActivityPoi/dss_187043 and try to add a new publisher, it works as expected.

On the other side, if I try to do the same on https://databrowser.opendatahub.testingmachine.eu/dataset/edit/tourism/v1/ODHActivityPoi/dss_187043, then an error message appears (see below) and the behavior is the same as you mentioned. Is the same error message shown to you? All I can say is that the code tries to access a value that doesn't exist. Maybe that bug is already fixed in a current version?

It seems that the current development version and the version deployed to https://databrowser.opendatahub.testingmachine.eu differ. After the last modifications to the deployment configs, I'm not sure which version / commit is deployed to which URL. I'm also not sure when the deployments run. Could you please check with @dulvui?

In order to reduce friction and to simplify information gathering in case of errors I propose the following updates to the project:

• improve the documentation, e.g. by putting a deployment.md in the projects doc folder that describes the deployments and the triggers that start the deployments
• add a mechanism to get information about the commit that was used to build and deploy. It would be very nice if we had e.g. a link / button / page inside the Data Browser where we could get such information

@sseppi I further looked into the details of this bug, because it happens also e.g. here when logged in: https://databrowser.opendatahub.testingmachine.eu/dataset/edit/tourism/v1/WebcamInfo/11F3689902134955A087F384CB8B3E11#license

The problem is related to PR #432, where the existing component SelectWithOptionsCell was heavily modified and now exposes the buggy behavior. I'm going to take a look at a fix.

[sseppi]

@gappc will you investigate where the problem is, or shall we ask a-crea that made the PR #432 ?

[dulvui]

@sseppi @a-crea the PR is now merged and ready for testing on https://databrowser.opendatahub.testingmachine.eu

Now the functionality seems to work properly.
