[feat]: handle a config with nothing but pointers

Open elvece opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Prerequisites

  • [X] I have searched for existing issues that already suggest this feature, without success.

Describe the Feature Request

When a service only has config pointers but needs to be configured, the config modal displays as empty. Handle this case with appropriate messaging.

Describe the Use Case

It is an awkward user experience to have to configure a service and have no information as to what is being configured.

Describe Preferred Solution

This may need backend consideration as well. Ideally such a service should never go into needs config in the first place if there is nothing to configure.

The ticket will likely be obviated by a re-thinking of the system architecture as it relates to pointers and config.

Do config pointers get copied in when the user hits "save" on the config, or at some other time? I believe this refers to cryptpad, where the tor pointers were the only thing in the config at the time. In this case, will the pointers still get copied into the config if i do a null migration (ie unconditional {configured: true})?

The ultimate goal is to get rid of config pointers. System and dependency information will be made available through the js api

Obviated by #2050
