Hi,
two attached patches attempt to solve
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3103
We cannot make educated guess where trusted domain's DNS server is
located as we ended up with NotFound exception precisely because we
were
unable to discover trusted domain's domain controller location.
Thus, all we can do is to suggest ways to fix the issue. Since
suggestion becomes relatively long (multi-line, at least), it
creates
few issues for current exception error message handling:
- root_logger does not use textui to format output
- textui is only printing to standard output
- multi-line error messages thus become non-wrapped
- localizing such messages would become a harder context-wise.
Web UI is showing error message as a single paragraph (<p/>), all
multi-line markup would be lost.
In the end, I decided to support list-based multi-line error
messages in
PublicError class. Its constructor will join all list-based
arguments
into single string per argument (first patch).
In Web UI I've added special text processing of error messages that
splits message into multiple lines and wraps those which start
with a
TAB symbol into 'error-message-hinted' span to visually separate it
from
the rest of error message. Trust code uses this to display
suggested CLI
command to set up DNS forwarder (second patch).
In the end, CLI shows such error message fine (note tabulated CLI
command):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# ipa trust-add --type=ad --admin Administrator@ad.local1 --password
ad.local1
Active directory domain administrator's password: ipa: ERROR:
Unable to
resolve domain controller for 'ad.local1' domain. IPA manages DNS,
please configure forwarder to 'ad.local1' domain by using following
CLI
command. Please replace DNS_SERVER and IP_ADDRESS by name and
address of
the domain's name server:
ipa dnszone-add ad.local1 --name-server=DNS_SERVER
--admin-email='hostmaster@ad.local1' --force --forwarder=IP_ADDRESS
--forward-policy=only
When using Web UI, please create DNS zone for domain 'ad.local1'
first
and then set forwarder and forward policy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Web UI looks like this: http://abbra.fedorapeople.org/.paste/ui.png
You have undeclared identifier: lines.
I recommend to run `jsl -conf jsl.conf` command in install/ui folder
to prevent these issues.
Fixed.
I'm not convinced that "beautify" call should be in command object. I
would rather see it in error_dialog.
I moved everything to error_dialog and used $() selectors instead of
directly playing with text.
1)
+ var error_message = $('<span />', {});
I would rather see a <div /> as a container. Span is and should
contain only inline elements.
Fixed.
2)
var line_span = $('<span />', {
class: 'error-message-hinted',
text: lines[i].substr(1)
}).appendTo(container);
Why do you use <span> for hinted message and <p> for other lines?
Shouldn't we use <p> for both?
Fixed to use <p> everywhere.
3) var line_span is declared twice. JS use function scope, not block
scope.
Fixed.
Thanks for the review. New patch 0082 attached.
ACK on the UI part with a little change (updated patch attached):
class: 'error-message-hinted',
needs to be changed to
'class': 'error-message-hinted',
because class is a keyword and should not be used this way. Sorry that
I missed it before.
Thanks!
The patch works as advertised. I would give ACK to the python part of
82 and patch 83 as well but probably someone more skilled in python
and ipa internals should do it.
Why do you have to concatenate the value in PublicErrors' __init__
method? Shouldn't it be a responsibility of error source (in this case
'execute_ad' method)? - just a question, not an issue
This is a good question and gives me some space to explain why certain
decisions are made.
The whole idea of the patch is to introduce a way to provide multi-line
error messages as a feature of error handling in the FreeIPA framework.
Suppose we had to join multiple lines always before creating an error
object. This means we would have hundreds of '\n'.join() calls across
the code. Besides maintenance burden, it would also make computational
burden later if we would add proper content formating (which we don't do
now for errors) -- since we would need to split strings later to
reformat them.
Python is flexible enough to discover parameter types which
allows to design APIs that easer to use. "Easier to use" means least
surprise for the caller rather than callee. So, if you pass multiple
lines (list) of error message, each array element gets processed
separately before displaying.
So, in the end there is only one place where this processing happens,
and it encapsulates all the knowledge required to accept multi-lines
messages, regardless how they come, since it is applied uniformly to every
argument of a constructor of a PublicError-derived class.
Some of our errors already accept lists. From our doctest suite:
File "/home/pviktori/freeipa/ipalib/errors.py", line 731, in
ipalib.errors.OverlapError
Failed example:
raise OverlapError(names=['givenname', 'login'])
Expected:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
OverlapError: overlapping arguments and options: ['givenname', 'login']
Got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/doctest.py", line 1289, in __run
compileflags, 1) in test.globs
File "<doctest ipalib.errors.OverlapError[0]>", line 1, in <module>
raise OverlapError(names=['givenname', 'login'])
OverlapError: overlapping arguments and options: u'givenname\nlogin'
In this case, ['givenname', 'login'] is much better than
u'givenname\nlogin' (or givenname<newline>login, if we switched the
message from %r to %s).
I don't think what's best for trust-add's NotFound is the best thing to
do everywhere.
