Description Yash Chouksey 2020-11-06 14:17:15 UTC
Description of problem:
Operator hub is showing blank screen after selecting any operator to install. 
Gif: https://attachment-viewer.cee.redhat.com/#/viewer/02769012?uuid=ed1dbd5f-85e6-498a-b583-24c820efbcba 

Issue occurs with all the operators, irrespective of their provider type.
The cluster has all packagemanifests, opsrc and catsrc present. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Baremetal, connected installation. Cluster version is at 4.5.16 (issue occurs on similar cluster at version 4.5.14)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login the Web console as the cluster-admin user(or any user).
OCP web-console -> Operator Hub -> Select any operator (Click install) ->  Blank white screen


Actual results:
The page jumps in the blank status, and cannot recover after clicking the back button. URL redirection doesn't work, a new window needs to be opened for console.

Expected results:
I know something is wrong with the operator hub(maybe), but we should pop-up errors instead of the blank page.


Additional info:
Nothing suspicious in marketplace pods, or any other related pods, all are in running state.
However, the openshift-console shows logs:

2020-11-05T16:10:02Z server: authentication failed: http: named cookie not present
2020-11-05T16:10:04Z server: authentication failed: http: named cookie not present

Restarting console pods didn't help.

Jakub Hadvig tried and failed to reproduce on a fresh 4.5.16 cluster.  I tried and failed to reproduce using Firefox 82.0.3 for macOS 10.15.7, namespace 'gitlab-runner', and operator 'gitlab' on a fresh 4.5.14 cluster. Are there any browser console errors present when the error occurs?

> However, we didn't see any errors on the developer console while replicating the issue on Cu's env. 

Did you mean the web console (e.g., https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console)?

Typically when the entire browser window goes white (empty), that means the entire OpenShift web console app has crashed, and I would expect to see one or more errors in the web console.

Comment 7 Samuel Padgett 2020-11-10 15:12:42 UTC
We've been able to reproduce. This is happening because one of the OperatorGroup resources doesn't have a `status` stanza, which causes a runtime error in console.

Uncaught TypeError: og.status is undefined

Comment 9 Samuel Padgett 2020-11-10 15:40:17 UTC
We're working on a fix, but you should be able to workaround this problem in the meantime by adding editing any OperatorGroup without a `status` and adding `status: {}` to the YAML.

Actually it probably has to be

status:
  namespaces: []

Checked on ocp 4.7 cluster with payload 4.7.0-0.nightly-2020-11-11-055454, create operatorgroup with file in attachment. Then go to operatorhub page, choose an operator, click "Install", the page shows up correctly, it's not blank now.
The bug is fixed.
