Hi all, I'm having trouble tracking down a particularly mysterious bug, and I was wondering if any of you have encountered something like this before.
The situation is this. I have a fairly simple controller, about 125 lines of code, that displays the detail view of a record (it's linked to from the list view). It loads the record and its related tables, does some formatting and permission checking, and returns a dictionary for the view to render, in the usual fashion. This controller/detail view is the most widely used one in the application. So, thousands of users are seeing this view correctly every day. However, a handful of users are experiencing the following problem: when they click on the detail link off the list view, they get a blank page (no html or css) with the word DONE on it (on the bottom left). Now, this happens for only a small handful of users -- I have about 3 or 4 that I've been on the phone with, and they can replicate this every time, for every record. What could be causing this? Some more details: * I don't think it's a data issue, in that this happens with every record they click on from the list. * The url appears to be correctly formed (I've had them spell it out for me over the phone) * They can use the rest of the application, just not that detail view * It doesn't seem to be a regular error/exception, since no traceback/ tickets are generated, and the error page does not come up. * The controller has safety checks, so if the requested record is missing, it redirects to a 'Record missing' page that usually catches any malformed requests. * The browser being used for the users encountering this error is generally Internet Explorer 8. * There is only one 'return' statement in the controller - the last line, return dict(...). Does anybody have any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
