Description

  • Indicate on each row of "users" list which users have "is_invited" flag set to false. (Assuming this is easy. Should it be a separate issue?)
  • On User->Show->Admin tab, if the user is missing any of the setup pieces (repo, VM, "all users") then a "Set up..." button appears, with an explanation why (e.g., "This user does not have VM access").
  • The "Set up..." button brings up a dialog box asking for details needed to set up
    • Choose a VM to give access to (hopefully we can make all VMs appear in the drop-down box)
    • Repository name text entry box ("this will also be used as VM login username")
    • "OK" and "Cancel" buttons
    • "OK" sends AJAX request
    • If successful, reload the current page to bring it up to date
    • If unsuccessful, display error message in dialog box (bootstrap "alert" widget)
  • On the Users->List page, add a button "Set up new user" button
    • Brings up the same dialog box, but with added field
    • Email address text entry box (on paste/keyup event, check whether anyone in the existing user list already has that address; if so, display a warning label (bootstrap widget) under the input saying "email address already in use!")
    • OpenID prefix (with a default, from workbench config)
    • Bonus: On success, insert a row at the top of the list for the new user. (But just reloading the index page would be fine.)
  • If user is already partially set up, the form should say so near the appropriate input, e.g., "User already has VM access, username@vmname - you can leave this selection empty"
  • If one of the fields is left blank, skip that part (e.g., no VM selected -> don't add VM permission)
  • Test dialog box / form behavior using Capybara

I haven't had a chance to look at the code yet, but here are notes on the UI:

  • Use modal-header and modal-footer classes for title & buttons, like example at http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals
  • Looks a bit odd while loading the dialog content. Perhaps at least put a min-height on the box so it's not just a slit, and ideally say "Loading..." somehow. (Dialog title?)
  • If you open the dialog, fill in some form fields, cancel, then re-open, the previous form input values appear for a moment until the new dialog content is reloaded. Should probably be reset to blank instead.
  • Above center would be OK but below center looks a bit odd. Is this because the dialog is centered before the content is loaded? If it's easier than centering it, something like top=1/4 window height would probably work.
  • Get rid of vertical scroll bar
  • Cancel button should be btn-default, not btn-primary
  • Use form styles/structure like http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms

I added a branch 2272-setup-user-in-workbench-TC to add notes to apps/workbench/README about getting capybara-webkit/phantomjs to work. Consider merging that into your 2272 branch?

More notes
  • Argh. Is it really worth incorporating into our project some code whose licence is "subject to the licensee inflecting a positive message unto someone"? http://licence.visualidiot.com/ (For that matter, what value does bootstrap-modal.css.scss provide for us that Bootstrap3 doesn't do?)
  • Possible fixes for some of the above complaints:
    • put the "open modal" code in user_setup.js.erb after updating the div content, instead of using data-toggle in _show_admin.html.erb. Like http://richonrails.com/articles/basic-ajax-in-ruby-on-rails (should avoid showing dialog with stale/empty content)
    • Bootstrap says "Always try to place a modal's HTML code in a top-level position in your document" (might help positioning)

Updated by Tom Clegg over 10 years ago

I pushed an updated 2272-setup-user-in-workbench-TC branch with my suggestions for using default styles and letting Bootstrap work its magic:
  • Removed the bootstrap-modal.css file
  • Moved the modal div into a footer_html section so it goes into the top level of the DOM like Bootstrap recommends (otherwise everything was being rendered strangely because it was inside a blockquote, etc.)
  • Used the div structure from the Bootstrap modal docs (.modal .modal-dialog .modal-content .modal-header/body/footer)
  • Used the form structure from the Bootstrap form docs (.form-group input.form-control)

IMO the result looks way better, and (perhaps more importantly) it will automatically get better instead of worse when we move to a non-default Bootstrap theme.

Other
  • Noticed a small bug with validation: if you paste a valid email address, it doesn't trigger "keyup" so the javascript doesn't revalidate. (You can use $(selector).on('keyup paste', function(){...}) to fire on multiple events.)
  • Instead of using <script> tags, it's a bit nicer to put javascript code in a <% content_for :js do %> block (or :footer_js to put it at the bottom of the HTML so the DOM already exists by the time it runs).
  • Some whitespace complaints. (See git diff --check master...2272-setup-user-in-workbench) You can tell git not to commit these -- https://arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Coding_Standards#Git-setup
  • Before merge, rebase so our git history doesn't have the weird-licensed code that we didn't end up using
  • Set proper email address in your git configuration → https://arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Coding_Standards#Git-commits
