Ma77Ball opened a new issue, #5310:
URL: https://github.com/apache/texera/issues/5310
## Describe the bug
The Forum / discussion page (`/dashboard/user/discussion`) causes the
frontend to loop over and over again — it repeatedly fires `forum/api/token`
(auth) and `forum/api/users` (register) requests in an infinite cycle instead
of loading the forum.
## Root cause
`forumLogin()` in
`frontend/src/app/dashboard/component/dashboard.component.ts` (lines ~205-226):
```ts
forumLogin() {
if (!document.cookie.includes("flarum_remember") && this.isLogin) {
this.flarumService.auth().pipe(untilDestroyed(this)).subscribe({
next: (response: any) => {
document.cookie = `flarum_remember=${response.token};path=/`;
},
error: (err: unknown) => {
if ([404, 500].includes((err as HttpErrorResponse).status)) {
this.displayForum = false;
} else {
this.flarumService.register()
.pipe(untilDestroyed(this))
.subscribe(() => this.forumLogin()); // recursive call
}
},
});
}
}
```
When `auth()` fails with any status **other than 404/500** (e.g.
network/CORS failure with status `0`, or `401`), the error branch calls
`register()` and then recursively calls `forumLogin()`. Since `auth()` keeps
failing, the cookie is never set and the guard never short-circuits, so it
loops forever — auth → register → auth → register → … This is the observed
repeated looping.
## Expected behavior
The forum login should attempt registration at most once and stop on
persistent failure (hide the forum / surface an error) rather than retrying
indefinitely.
## Steps to reproduce
1. Have the Flarum forum service unreachable or returning a non-404/500
error.
2. Log in and open the Forum (discussion) page.
3. Observe the network tab: `forum/api/token` and `forum/api/users` fire
repeatedly without end.
