Description Misha H. Ali 2011-10-28 01:40:54 UTC

Description of problem:

When using the text fields provided to alter the contents of the Makefile and publican.cfg files for non-EAP products, I noticed that when reloaded, the text boxes contain the default EAP values.

IMO, if I have to change the values every single time, it makes little sense to use this feature instead of what I do now, i.e. copy and paste the publican.cfg and Makefile files from my previous brew to the new XML to be brewed, with slight changes to the version number.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the Skynet GUI interface.
2. Click "Build Docbook"
3. Change the values in the 7 text boxes to desired publican.cfg and Makefile values.
4. (Optional) Click "Docbook" to get generated XML.
5. Navigate away from this page and follow steps 1 through 3 to return to the page and tab.
6. Observe the EAP defaults have returned to the text boxes.
  
Actual results:

Text fields should retain customized information. 

Expected results:

Text fields revert to default EAP values when page and tab is refreshed or returned to.

Set priority to high IF skynet is to be used for other products soon. If this is not so, please deprioritize, Matt.

Comment 2 Matthew Casperson 2011-11-03 01:46:39 UTC

Docbook building options are saved as part of a filter. Unless you save the custom values in a filter, the default EAP6 values will be used.

1. Navigate to the Skynet GUI interface.
2. Click "Build Docbook"
3. Change the values in the 7 text boxes to desired publican.cfg and Makefile
values.
4. Click "Filters"
5. Type in a name for the filter in "Filter Name:" and click "Save"

Once a filter is saved you can then load it, which will also load your custom docbook building options. The "Load And Docbook" button in the "Filters" tab provides a convenient way to load a filter and build the docbook zip file with one click.

You can change the values saved by the filter. Once a filter is loaded the "Save" button becomes an "Update" button, which will save any new values you have entered into the existing filter.
