Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When no resources are found for a list page, a default empty state message is displayed. Consequence: On the Status page, the default empty state message is used when a project does not have any resources to display there. Fix: Add a special case to show a better empty state message on the status page when no overview items are available. This empty state provides more information and actions to take to get started. Result: A more meaningful and useful empty state is displayed on the status page when a user has an empty project.

Jon, is it easy to show something else when showing the "fake" message?

Comment 2 Jon Jackson 2018-12-11 20:08:29 UTC
It would be pretty easy to replace this with a custom message or react component. We would just need to figure out what would go in its place.

the wrong display as no resource found

Comment 5 XiaochuanWang 2019-01-15 09:15:03 UTC
On Status page it still displays "No Resources Found" and url is overview/ns/default, please refer to the screenshot(attachment), thanks!

Tested on the version:
$ oc get clusterversion
NAME      VERSION                             AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE     STATUS
version   4.0.0-0.nightly-2019-01-15-010905   True        False         11m       Cluster version is 4.0.0-0.nightly-2019-01-15-010905

Comment 6 Samuel Padgett 2019-01-15 14:22:55 UTC
This is expected for system namespaces like default. We don't show the empty state message with add-to-project buttons because we don't want to encourage users to add content to system namespaces. See

https://github.com/openshift/console/pull/967

I'm not sure what else we should show here. We could display a 403 forbidden error, but that seems less friendly. Here the content uses a disabled style to indicate that it's not active/real, and there's a clear call-to-action at the top of the page. You probably only get here by ignoring the message to create a project when first logging in.

I think it would look more broken if we leave the entire area below Project Status blank.

There's a fine line between not found and forbidden. If you have an account with limited permissions, you might not know if a resource doesn't exist or if you simply don't have permission to view.

For the reasons above, I think this is a design choice and not a bug. The UI is working as intended.
