Description

In current develop (42ba771cc8bfc09257c15c5d388542d4d1b69358)

changing a any setting via Administer->Settings fails with:

It seems your session has timeout and you logged in different tab then you returned to previously opened tab with settings page. Try reloading the settings page and retry, it should help and ideally let us know.

Nope. Logging out and back in does not help. Note that I can do things like e.g. adding domains, etc. it's just the settings page that looks broken.

Could you please let us know, what version of Foreman is this? You can find it at Administer -> About.

As I wrote in the description this is develop as of 42ba771cc8bfc09257c15c5d388542d4d1b69358.

About has 1.13.0-develop.

  • translation missing: en.field_release set to 160

I don't see the error about the authenticity token, but I do see that the token isn't passed any more when updating settings:

13:38:06 rails.1   | 2016-08-12T13:38:06 204be96c [app] [I] Started PUT "/settings/enc_environment" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-08-12 13:38:06 +0100

I reverted #15037 and the token is passed again:

13:37:21 rails.1   | 2016-08-12T13:37:21 204be96c [app] [I] Started PUT "/settings/enc_environment" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-08-12 13:37:21 +0100

In either case, the token should be present, which is presumably why the invalid token error's occurring. I'm unsure why it isn't for me.

Thanks for having a look.

The PR adds back the token but the error is still the same:

Note that I had this working after #15037 was merged (last update
presumably around start of August).

Another thing: when this kind of error happens there's no feedback to
the user at all. The spinner just sits there forever.

The new PR fixes it for me, thanks a lot! I do wonder why I'm the only one seeing it though.
