Description

We've got a traceback during handling of 404, it seems some attribute does not bubble through (or is not yet initialised). Authentication related maybe?

[...]

There are /static/<path:filename> and /static/design/<path:filename> routes set in Flask. Module Flask Principal is initialized with skip_static = True. Because of that, the saving of identity is skipped. A quick and easy fix would be to set skip_static to True.

Mek, from the top of your head, are there any static routes through Flask used? (I mean actual reason to allow static contents served through Flask.)

Updated by Jan Mach about 4 years ago

Static paths are used to serve resources like images (log, flags) or library files (jQuery, ...). They are intentionally set to be skipped by authentication, there is no point in preventing someone download the logo image. However since they are served by flask, built-in error handling process kicks in in case file is not found. Logging is attempted and it crashes on attempting to get the identity of the user. In normal circumstances there is always an user object, either anonymous, or authenticated. I would need to research this more, but the best solution would be first to try to skip the dumping of user object for logging in case it is not set and then fix the library path issue. Original error is the library JS file missing for some reason: /static/design/vendor/cldr/main/cs/ca-gregorian.json.

I wrote a code to skip the check of permissions and it seems to be working. It seems I don't have a permission to write to this repository yet.

Regarding the original 404 error, the correct path to the requested file is /static/vendor/cldr/main/en/ca-gregorian.json. My console log at Chromium browser says that the file was loaded. I don't know why there was a 'design' in the path.

Hi, I have reviewed the proposed fix and it look good to me. I have just performed merge, built and deployed packages to mentat-alt. Good job, Rajmund.

As to the 404 error for /static/design/vendor/cldr/main/cs/ca-gregorian.json? [GET], it is a mystery to me as well. I have walked through the code and was not able to find origin from where it could come. Some time ago some design specific static files were part of the design_bs3 blueprint. Due to the static_url_path = '/static/design' configuration this URL was then correct. For certain reason these static files were moved to application`s static folder and all references to 'design.static' have been changed to 'static'.

I was not able to find where did the request for '/static/design/' URL come from.

In the web server log file I have found the following:

66.249.79.217 - - [26/Aug/2020:01:36:32 +0200] "GET /mentat/static/design/vendor/cldr/main/cs/units.json HTTP/1.1" 500 7933 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.92 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" 

I would guess Google was checking and updating his cached indices.
