Unable to add members to projects

Added by Stewart Ferguson about 5 years ago

As administrator, in a project/Settings page, I click "+ New Member". I see the "Loading" box for a moment, then it disappears and nothing else happens. I can't seem to add members to projects.

Things that definatly work:
- LDAP settings
- Adding local users to the server
- Editing an existing member's role
- Creating projects, adding issues, attaching files,

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this so I'd appreciate if someone has advice.

Here is one log in reaction to clicking "Add Member", but it doesn't show anything abnormal.

root@pluto:~# tail -n 9 /var/log/redmine/default/production.log
Started GET "/projects/a320/memberships/new" for 10.20.30.1 at 2019-11-14 15:50:28 +0100

This might have been a consequence of migrating redmine 3.3.1 -> 4.0.1 during a Debian 9 -> 10 host OS upgrade.

If interested, the installation packages were generated using these sources:
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/redmine/tree/debian/3.3.1-4+deb9u1
https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/redmine/tree/debian/4.0.1-2

The database is:

postgres@pluto:~$ psql redmine_default postgres
psql (11.4 (Debian 11.4-1), server 9.6.12)

However I don't know much about migrations.

Not solved, but at least I have a work-around:

If I simply "Open link in new tab", I get the appropriate page and can add members. It's only the clicking action that doesn't change pages.

I went a step further and using my browser, manually changed

<a class="icon icon-add" data-remote="true" href="/projects/a320/memberships/new">New member</a>

<a class="icon icon-add" href="/projects/a320/memberships/new">New member</a>

Then everything worked well.

I'm glad it's not a database issue. I was worried my database was corrupt. Is this something anyone else can reproduce? If so, we should write a bug.

I can reproduce in Firefox (68.2.0esr) and Chromium (78.0.3404.97).

I can't reproduce your issues. It works fine on my installation so far with Firefox 70.
Perhaps it is a sort of caching problem. Did your browser reload Redmine completely. Just guessing...

Could themes or plugins affect your modals anyhow?

This might be a problem caused by a CSP policy. See eg. #25207, #31708 and #29405.

RE: Unable to add members to projects - Added by Stewart Ferguson about 5 years ago

#31708 looks very similar. Looks like someone had the same issue on 4.0.1 (Just like me) and it's fixed in a newer rev. Will update, thanks.

I have the same problem using .htacces in a hosting platform.
I posted yesterday on this topic.
Do you use htacces?

RE: Unable to add members to projects - Added by Stewart Ferguson almost 5 years ago

No, I use a combination of LDAP and Redmine's internal users (not sure if it uses htaccess as backend).
