[Bug]: File selector not working via the legacy API on NC28 #42291

paulijar · 2023-12-14T22:16:10Z

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.

Bug description

When the Music app tries to open any file selection dialog (for example, to select the music library root path), this results in grey rectangles being shown in the dialog instead of file icons, names, and details. Errors are shown in the browser console:

PROPFIND https://<server>/remote.php/dav/files/<username>/                             [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 30ms]
Error: Invalid response: 404 Not Found

Edit: It's apparently necessary for this bug to happen to have a non-empty path in the root URL of the Nextcloud instance. So the bug doesn't happen when accessing the cloud instance on URL like https://my.cloud.host but it does happen when the URL is like https://my.cloud.host/nextcloud.

The same thing happens when the similar dialog is tried to be opened from the settings view of the AudioPlayer application.

The Music app uses the legacy API to show these dialogs. The API calls happen here: https:/owncloud/music/blob/75efb45397bd06fcb17ae3f98fea68a2de15eef3/js/shared/dialogs.ts#L26-L34

These dialogs used to work fine on NC 27.1.2, but the problem is present on NC 28.0.0 (and also on its RC2 and RC4, at least). Note that Music and AudioPlayer apps don't yet have compatible versions for NC28, but that shouldn't be relevant for this issue; the old versions work enough to run into this problem scenario.

Steps to reproduce

Install and enable the Music app
Open the app and navigate to the Settings view
Click on the "Path to your music collection"

Expected behavior

The folder selection dialog opens and can be used to select a folder.

At least part of the problem is that the dialog is trying to fetch the resource
https://<server>/remote.php/dav/files/<username>/
while the correct address for this server would be
https://<server>/nextcloud-28/remote.php/dav/files/<username>/

tflidd · 2023-12-24T10:36:22Z

When using Nextcloud inside a subfolder, I used to set the overwritewebroot as well:

https:/nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L601C1-L609C1

Perhaps this already fixes the wrong URL...

paulijar · 2023-12-24T12:23:27Z

I just tested adding the overwritewebroot conf but it didn't change anything regarding this issue.

paulijar · 2024-01-21T19:42:37Z

I did some debugging on this and found out something interesting:
When the web page is loaded, the function getRootUrl() gets called while the window.OC is still undefined. Hence, it returns an empty string instead of the correct root URL. I then made an experiment where I had a break point on that function, and on the first hit to that break point, I executed the following on the browser console:

window.OC = {webroot: '/nextcloud-28'}

After this, the file selector dialog started to work as intended!

So I think we have the root cause here, but I still don't know, how this should be properly fixed. But maybe someone with better understanding of the details of @nextcloud/dialogs and @nextcloud/router can use this insight to create a fix.

skjnldsv · 2024-01-24T10:11:10Z

Is this not an issue with the dialog library?

susnux · 2024-01-24T15:02:16Z

I think I know whats going on here after debugging, its a execution order issue:

OC/index.js is loaded
It loads xhr-error.js
xhr-error.js (BTW that has a cyclic dependency on OC/index.js)
that then loads: notification.js
that needs @nextcloud/dialogs
Which then needs @nextcloud/l10n/gettext for its translations
Which needs @nextcloud/router

So the problem is our libraries are used within the init of the global OC.
This is a problem because our libraries itself depend on window.OC.

The solution would be to make our libraries independent from window.OC and directly use the private _oc_webroots (and similiar) variable in the libraries.

❗ EDIT: But this does not cause the error, the problem is:
davRemotePath is initialized before OC.webroot is, due to OC/util.js is loaded (which uses @nextcloud/files) before OC/webroot.js.

paulijar · 2024-01-27T18:49:17Z

Thanks! Works fine now on NC 28.0.2 RC4.

paulijar · 2024-03-28T20:55:04Z

This problem was already fixed once but now it's back in NC29-RC1.

The base class OC\BackgroundJob\TimedJob has been removed in NC29 in favor of OCP\BackgorundJob\TimedJob. However, the new alternative is not available on ownCloud and we now need to dynamically select among these two the one which can be found. Also, marked the app now as compatible with NC29 as it seemed to work fine on NC29-RC1. Except for the Nextcloud files dialog issue nextcloud/server#42291 which has made a come-back, after being already fixed in NC28.0.2. [sigh] refs #1132

skjnldsv · 2024-03-29T08:22:27Z

@paulijar is that the same symptoms?
It's odd that it's suddenly back 🤔

paulijar · 2024-03-29T08:48:40Z

Yes, looks exactly the same, and the browser console shows that NC tries to fetch https://<domain>/remote.php/dav/files/<username>/ which is a wrong address as it's missing the server path.

paulijar · 2024-03-29T08:57:23Z

But what's interesting is that this problem is not present on NC29-beta3. So something has gone wrong very recently.

susnux · 2024-03-29T17:14:56Z

Seems to be fixed when releasing a new dialogs versions, might be related to different @nextcloud/router versions.
Will release a new version next week and see if it is fixed for 29.rc2

paulijar · 2024-04-06T15:28:43Z

This is working fine again in NC29-rc2.
