Do the buttons re-enable? If they do, this is working as expected. What this is doing while the buttons are disabled for a while is it is actually looking for an agent. It is running a "find" and scanning all the directories that are common for an agent to be located (e.g. "/opt", "/rhq", etc). We tell "find" to search subdirectories at most 4 levels deep. So it could take a while to scan all the locations. While it is scanning, we don't want the user to press any of the buttons - we want the user to wait for it to find the agent, if one is to be found. Is there something else that is a problem here? If all the issue is that the buttons are disabled while the search for an agent is going on, I think we should close this as working-as-expected. Yes, it is getting re-enable after a while. I got the pop-up "Could not find an agent installed when looking in common locations", I clicked ok, but still it takes a some time to re-enable the buttons after clicked "ok" also In this case, until we will get the info from back-end server, we might show graphical icon like loading, user might understand some communication is happening back-end. Currently page looks like static. This will be applicable for the buttons, "Fine Agent", "Update Status" and "Install Agent". I agree that visual indicators about progress are good, as this gives the user feedback that something is happening. Otherwise the user may think the UI just hangs and restarts it. If the "Find Agent" didn't find the agent, the old was was still checking for status, which is why the buttons remained disabled for a time even after the error message popped up. Now, that status check is skipped if the agent can't be found. Hopefully, that makes it more responsive. You no longer see the greyed out buttons even after the error. git commit to master: 8a087da Bulk closing of RHQ 4.11 issues, now that RHQ 4.12 is out. If you find an issue with those, please open a new BZ, linking to the old one. |
