This patch adds a robots.txt file to dashboard that prevents crawling by all bot types of the whole site. (#12484) Strips whitespace from parameter keys Parameter keys for groups and nodes aren't allowed to have trailing spaces. This commit adds a filter before validation that strips these spaces. (#12476) Add context to install.rake exceptions Tasks inside lib/tasks/install.rake could throw SocketErrors when attempting to contact the CA server that did not give sufficient context as to what connection was failing. This could produce the ultimately unhelpful error message of: (in /opt/puppet/share/puppet-dashboard) rake aborted! getaddrinfo: Name or service not known This adds exception handling that will add the relevant context to the exception and re-raise it. In this case, we would get (in /opt/puppet/share/puppet-dashboard) rake aborted! Unable to contact ca_server example.unreachable.foo: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known So when the task fails, there's a clear explanation for what exactly is failing. (#10562) Adds header so IE8 users can download nodes.csv Due to IE8's idiosyncrasies, the following header is necessary for its users to successfully download /nodes.csv Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 (#10901) Adds Selenium documentation. Removes selenium_spec/ Shows the user how to run Selenium acceptance tests locally. Removes the selenium_spec/ directory. Selenium tests now live in acceptance/selenium/ (#10555) sets default language of Dashboard to English Setting the lang and xml:lang attributes explicitly ensures that Chrome will not interpret the page as anything other than English. This avoids weird "translate" messages as seen in #10555 (https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10555). (#10562) Adds header so IE8 users can download nodes.csv Due to IE8's idiosyncrasies, the following header is necessary for its users to successfully download /nodes.csv Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 (#6739) Remove RELEASE_NOTES.md from Dashboard The RELEASE_NOTES.md file used to be used in a version number link dashboard. Since changing the version link happened in the 1.2.0 timeframe, the file wasn't removed. This minor fix remotes the file, and references to it in the packaging bits of Dashboard. (#4890) Add example configuration for using basic auth with Dashboard Pending a fix for issue #7173, Puppet can't submit reports to a server that requires authentication. A known way to get around this is to provide exceptions in Dashboard's security configuration for retrieving node definitions and submitting reports. This commit adds a commented-out section to the example vhost file to do exactly that. Remove AllowOverride AuthConfig from example vhost Unless you consider its javascript and CSS files to be confidential, there is absolutely no situation where you'd use an .htaccess file to override auth for Dashboard, because access to locations in a Rails app can't be controlled with a directory override. This commit kills a misleading example line that implied this was possible. Init Script Improvements Adding a force-reload for LSB compliance. All LSB compliant scripts require a force-reload. In dashboard's case, since there is no configuration reload mechanism, its just a restart. Removing duplicated exits. Every statement in this case exits on the return value. So instead of duplicating those exits just fall through to a single exit. Fixing exit code for default case. In case of an error while processing any init-script actions the init script should exit with a status code of 2, invalid or excess argument(s). 1.2.6 Changelog === Adrien Thebo (1): 0caac10 (#12476) Add context to install.rake exceptions Chad Metcalf (5): b9d8f32 Fixing exit code for default case. 77393c6 Refactoring status and restart out into functions. 3a585d6 Removing duplicated exits. 3c2cef3 Adding a force-reload for LSB compliance. d01915f Fix fragile restart logic.
