Renaming a file does not refresh on the UI for some cases

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 9:38am

I just report an issue on Github about file rename:
https://github.com/pydio/cells/issues/63

I made a video of the problem so you can better understand what is happening : GUI is not up to date with filesystem (showing the filename of the previous rename instead of the actual one) !

At the end of the video the test.txt file is:

test4.txt on the filesystem (good)
test3.txt on the webui (wrong)

I tried to re-sync datasource and I’m still in the same incoherent situation after.

A little surprised not to see other reports, am I alone with this problem ?

Hi,
this seems weird, i don’t have this issue.
docker on mac with pydio cells 1.2.5

i would also advise you to ask on the forum first before opening an issue on github, this way we can figure the issue, before opening the ticket (if needed).

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 10:20am

Ok I’ll do that next time.
Last time I post an issue on the (old) forum, someone told me to open an issue on Github for the bugs so this time I did both

For the issue, I’ll do some tests on other host OS (CentOS 7) ant other filesystem (I’m currently using btrfs on my server).

zayn · February 15, 2019, 10:40am

yeah fair enough,
i did not ask but could you describe your setup?
do you have a reverse proxy, is your cells running on a vps, vm or w/e?
i want to make sure that i did not miss something.

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 11:20am

No problem, some information is already in the Github issue.

My environment specs:

Physical server + docker
CPU = Intel i5-2300 (4 x 2.80GHz)
RAM = 16 Gb DDR3
Storage = 2 Tb SATA (BTRFS)
OS = Debian 9.7 (up to date 2019-02-15)
MariaDB = 10.3.12-MariaDB
Pydio = 1.2.5 (Docker)
Docker = 18.09.2
Reverse-proxy : Haproxy

zayn · February 15, 2019, 11:34am

ah i see, it could be the proxy,
i don’t have experience with Haproxy but could you tell me what kind of config is it, even better show it.
Maybe there a rule missing.

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 11:56am

I dont think the reverse-proxy could be in cause in this case.
Just tried, bypassing (making docker listen on host IP), same situation appened again.

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 2:03pm

Definitively not a reverse-proxy issue.
A vanilla install still does the same on this server binding directly the docker container to public IP.
Tried on a VM on my local computer, with the same software environment and I didn’t see the problem …

I checked in db, table “data_index_personal_idx_nodes” contains the good value.

Could you look at your browser’s console when you rename the file,
and even better could you try with another browser to be sure.

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 2:17pm

I was on this …
I create a file “1.txt” then rename it to “2.txt”.

Here is what I get from the server answer:

{
   "Nodes":[
      {
         "Uuid":"DATASOURCE:pydiods1",
         "Path":"common-files/",
         "Type":"COLLECTION",
         "Size":"2",
         "MTime":"1550239823",
         "Etag":"-1",
         "MetaStore":{
            "ChildrenCount":"1",
            "name":"\"\""
         }
      },
      {
         "Uuid":"cfe1167d-1195-40c1-aa80-8633f9af47cf",
         "Path":"common-files/2.txt",
         "Type":"LEAF",
         "Size":"1",
         "MTime":"1550239815",
         "Mode":511,
         "Etag":"7215ee9c7d9dc229d2921a40e899ec5f",
         "MetaStore":{
            "name":"\"1.txt\""
         }
      }
   ]
}

Checked without cache on Firefox and Chrome.

1.txt on webui
2.txt in filesystem

zayn · February 15, 2019, 2:19pm

mmm,
do you use a volume?
it’s hard to understand where the error comes from as it seems to be specific to you, it’s going to take some testing to figure where it is.

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 2:21pm

I just map a local folder in the docker container:

docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 127.0.0.1:8082:8082 \
  -v /home/cells:/root/.config/pydio/cells \
  -v /var/run/mysqld:/var/run/mysqld \
  -e CELLS_BIND=0.0.0.0:8082 \
  -e CELLS_EXTERNAL=cells.domain.fr \
  -e CELLS_NO_SSL=0 \
  --name cells pydio/cells

What is this “MetaStore” value ?

         "MetaStore":{
            "name":"\"1.txt\""
         }

zayn · February 15, 2019, 2:31pm

it contains information about the file and it seems like your is not changing.

i created a file and renamed it but for me it’s working properly.

to resume my setup, docker, no ssl using this configuration:

            - CELLS_BIND=0.0.0.0:7777
            - CELLS_EXTERNAL=192.168.0.116:7777
            - CELLS_NO_SSL=1

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 3:03pm

I tried with your settings, and with removing volumes with no success.
I have no idea what is going wrong here !

zayn · February 15, 2019, 3:09pm

and even when you access your interface without the proxy,
maybe make sure to clear caches (which i guess you did).

dam09fr · February 15, 2019, 3:52pm

Yes, I removed the proxy, the port is directly mapped to the host port.
Cached cleared and I tried in private mode.
I also change the domain to try.

Edit:
This is going to make me crazy !
Thank you for your help investigating this issue.
I’m going to rebuild a new server to see what is wrong here.
Give me a few days and I’ll come back and told you what I found.

dam09fr · February 17, 2019, 11:39am

I was able to set up a new server today:

Physical server + docker
CPU = Intel Xeon W3520 (vs Intel i5-2300)
RAM = 16 Gb DDR3 ECC (vs no ECC)
Storage = 2x 2 Tb SATA EXT4 (vs 1x BTRFS)
OS = Debian 9.8 (up to date 2019-02-17)
MariaDB = 10.3.12-MariaDB
Pydio = 1.2.5 (Docker)
Docker = 18.09.2

I launch docker with these options (no reverse proxy):

docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 8082:8082 \
  -e CELLS_BIND=0.0.0.0:8082 \
  -e CELLS_EXTERNAL=srv.mydomain.fr:8082 \
  -e CELLS_NO_SSL=1 \
  --name cells pydio/cells

I can have a direct access to Cells with http://srv.mydomain.fr:8082 (no reverse-proxy).
And I got the exact same situation whe renaming files.

I was also able to reproduce the issue in a local VM.

One more thing : I noticed that if I move the file to another folder, his name changes to the correct one.

After lot of hours passed testing:

Debian 9 + MariaDB 10.3 (repo) + Cells (Bin) = problem
Debian 9 + MariaDB 10.3 (repo) + Cells (Docker) = problem
Debian 9 + MySQL 5.7 (repo) + Cells (Docker) = no problem
Debian 9 + MariaDB 10.3 (Docker) + Cells (Docker) = no problem
Debian 9 + MySQL 5.7 (Docker) + Cells (Docker) = no problem
CentOS 7 + MariaDB 10.3 (repo) + Cells (Docker) = no problem

I dont know what is the problem with MariaDB 10.3 on Debian 9 host … but the problem is here !

How I installed MariaDB 10.3:

apt-get install -y software-properties-common dirmngr
curl -sS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version="mariadb-10.3"
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client

zayn · February 18, 2019, 8:53am

Hi,
i’ll try with maria 10.3 on debian and see what happens.

dam09fr · February 18, 2019, 8:59am

Ok, I think I just find it : I disabled bin_logs commenting lines in my.cfg and now renaming seems to work as expexted !

#log_bin                        = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin
#log_bin_index          = /var/log/mysql/mariadb-bin.index
#expire_logs_days       = 10
#max_binlog_size         = 100M
