If you have the console open in multiple tabs, some sidebar links in the *Developer* perspective do not directly link to the project, and there is an unexpected change in the selected project.

Description Felipe M 2020-05-22 13:37:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Some links on the sidebar in Developer perspective don't directly link to the project, causing confusing behavior if user has the console open in multiple tabs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4, 4.3 confirmed (4.2 potentially too)

How reproducible:
Having two projects "project-a" and "project-b"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one tab with project-a
2. Open second tab with project-b
3. Click on links on the sidebar for project-a's tab

Actual results:
Some links contain project ID of the current tab, others not and redirect potentially using local storage `bridge/last-namespace-name` to 'project-b'.

Expected results:
All links contain the project ID of the current tab

Additional info:
- I intended to submit a pull request to fix this, but I'm not sure if this is by design for some reason.
- I checked the menu in Administrator perspective and all links seems fine.

This isn't by design.
Pages that are based on a resource kind currently update to include the namespace in the link while pages do not. Those pages use a different component that is more generic and doesn't support this capability. This is something we should consider for all pages that are namespace scoped.

Hi Felipe M,

Did you encounter this issue where it would not respect your current selected project while navigating around when having multiple tabs open? I ran a few tests trying to reproduce this and I noticed that even when multiple tabs were open, each nav item navigated without an issue to all links in the developer perspective. 

If I opened a link to a new tab (right-click "open in new tab") then it took the last namespace I interacted with (local storage value) rather than the current namespace one.

Is this the issue you saw? Or were you just remarking on the anchor hover info provided by the browser?

Let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

the issue I'm opening this for is the detailed in the second paragraph:

> If I opened a link to a new tab (right-click "open in new tab") then it took the last namespace I interacted with (local storage value) rather than the current namespace one.

There are some links in the Developer sidebar that don't contain the namespace in the anchor (thus using local storage), so if you've interacted with `project-b` in other tabs and try to navigate on the tab from `project-a` to one of those links, you get moved to `project-b` instead.

Comment 5 Andrew Ballantyne 2020-05-27 19:13:50 UTC
Right, this is definitely not by design (as Christian mentioned) so we'll need to address this. Thank you for logging the issue and clarifying the user experience you had.

I do not encounter this behavior. Even though the links do not contain the current namespace, the links all open to the expect namespace. This is because on load of the app, the namespace value is pulled from localStorage but then stored in memory and we do not pull from localStorage again.

There is one smaller issue where opening the link in a new tab will result in switching over to `project-b`. This is because the web app will need to load in the new tab and therefore pulls the namespace from localStorage.
