RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Xiaodai Wang 2019-09-19 10:11:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
the error description is not accurate when more than one file failed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-7.0-8.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable file transfer function in xml.

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
      <filetransfer enable='no'/>
    </graphics>
2. Drag 20 files into the guest.
3. Check the error dialog.

Actual results:
"An error caused the following file transfers to fail"  displays in Tranfer error dialog.

Expected results:
The description is not accurate because more than one files were failed. A better description could be displayed.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Frediano Ziglio 2020-07-01 13:42:10 UTC 
I think I have a patch that could help this.
spice-gtk sends the error string but virt-viewer does not use it so it gives a generic error.
Comment 2 Frediano Ziglio 2020-07-09 13:44:28 UTC 
Julien, this is the branch (and patch) I was working on that should maybe fix also this issue.

Can you try it?

Comment 8 zhoujunqin 2020-12-11 08:00:49 UTC 
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-viewer-9.0-4.el8.x86_64

Steps:
1. Disable file transfer function in xml.

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
      <filetransfer enable='no'/>
    </graphics>

2. Drag 20 files into the guest.

3. Check the error dialog.

Result:
"An error caused the following file transfers to fail"  displays in Transfer error dialog.

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-viewer-9.0-5.el8.x86_64


1. Disable file transfer function in xml.

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
      <filetransfer enable='no'/>
    </graphics>

2. Drag 20 files into the guest.

3. Check the error dialog.

Result:
3.1 "The file transfer is disabled" displays in the Transfer error dialog, it's clear to user.
3.2 The error dialog can be closed successfully.

So I move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED based on above testing, thanks.
