CSE UI problem, node show and cluster creating tasks not responding

Hello,

We've implemented the CSE UI plugin on our Cloud Director.

Plugin is now available through both tenant and provider portal, and already created clusters are available in UI. But when we try to see the cluster nodes, UI stalls forever.

Also when trying to create clusters through GUI it stalls with forever spinning wheel.

We wanted to implement newer version of a plugin, but the link is leading to version 1.0.0. https://vmware.github.io/container-service-extension/CSE_UI_PLUGIN.html

Getting the plugin The v1.0.1 plugin binary can be downloaded from here. <-- still a version 1.0.0

Version installed: VCD version 10.1.0.15967236 CSE version 2.6.1

Hi @nkruniceva , the link issue is because we did not properly update a metadata file in the UI codebase, so the version still reads as 1.0.0. However, the plugin from that link does have the 1.0.1 behavior.

We're unable to reproduce this issue on our side, but could you verify that for all clusters, UI is unable to show the cluster nodes? Also, how many nodes do the clusters you're trying to inspect have?

For the create cluster stalling forever, at which step does it stall forever? The current behavior is once you click finish, the UI sends an API request to CSE server. Right now, there's a spinning wheel, and the wizard should close on its own. However, in 1.0.1 we have not implemented a response to the user to describe if the request has been acknowledged by CSE server.

We may need to look at your browser's dev console to inspect for errors.

Hi @andrew-ni , thank you for your prompt response.

We have installed this plugin in the environment with only one tenant cluster prior to plugin install.

Nodes on a cluster that was created prior to plugin install are not visible through the UI. However, when we created a new cluster (via cli), nodes are visible.

Issue with cluster create stalling forever, we have two different behaviors now:

1. Create new cluster task gets stuck in "Review" wizard section. Nothing is showing (accept the spinning wheel), and nothing is happening if we click on "Finish" button.

2. In few cases we get past this step, but cluster creation fails (Rollback) with error with no description. We are able to create a cluster with same configuration through CLI.

Sure, we can look trough browser console. Are there any log files that we can check, that could contain some additional info?

We're seeing the same issue, could this be related to VCD multi-site? We often get a never-ending spinning wheel when it looks like CSE UI is trying to enumerate VDCs (or storage, or networks etc.) and wondering if responses from multi-site linked VDCs are confusing things? Occasionally (when it happens to pick the 'right' site?) it works fine.

@jondwaite in our case, it's just one site..
