Description Dan Callaghan 2011-11-01 04:51:57 UTC

When Apache is first started, each worker does not have a static filter configured for /tg_widgets/tgmochikit until it handles a request which renders widgets. As a result when the server is first started it will appear to randomly return 404 errors for MochiKit js files, depending on whether you hit a worker that has been initialised yet.

Upstream bug filed here: https://sourceforge.net/p/turbogears1/tickets/34/

Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2011-11-01 04:52:51 UTC

As a workaround we can explicitly initialise TGMochiKit when our application is started in /usr/share/bkr/beaker-server.wsgi.

Comment 2 Bill Peck 2011-11-01 14:52:41 UTC

Could this be causing the spinner on "Show all results" to spin forever?  I'm guessing we might have the required javascript loaded to actually do the call correctly?

Comment 3 Bill Peck 2011-11-01 14:53:47 UTC

Also, we kill and respawn apache workers every 200 requests so we will be experiencing this over and over.

Comment 4 Bill Peck 2011-11-01 14:54:38 UTC

Dan,

Can you paste the workaround here?

Thanks

Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2011-11-01 21:03:46 UTC

The workaround is to put this near the bottom of beaker-server.wsgi:

import tgmochikit
from turbogears.widgets.base import register_static_directory
tgmochikit.init(register_static_directory, config)

I've pushed a patch to Gerrit.
