Views Exposed Filter, Throbber not removed on consecutive Ajax Call

Created on 6 January 2023, over 1 year ago
Updated 24 February 2024, 4 months ago

When using Views exposed Filters on an Ajax-enabled View, the throbber is added once Ajax is called, but is not removed when the Ajax-Call finishes.
When selecting the "Overlay" option in the Ajax-Loader settings, multiple Loader can be displayed, overlaying each other.

Steps to reproduce

  • PHP 8.0
  • Drupal 9.4.5
  • Ajax_Throbber 2.0.1 and/or 2.1.0 (happens with both versions)
  1. Enable ajax_throbber module
  2. Create Search-API view (page) with exposed search field
  3. Enable Ajax on View
  4. Set "Exposed Filter" to Input Required
  5. Save View
  1. Visit search page and execute search => throbber shows and disappears (correct)
  2. Without reloading the page, execute another search => throbber shows but does not unload

    Same here, let's see if we can discover why it happens.

    In my case, I have Facets with exposed filters.
    When I use the facets the throbber is removed, but when I use the exposed filter of type text, the throbber is added twice and only one is removed.
    As a possible solution is to check if the progress element is set before adding it.

    Hi,
    I still can not reproduce this issue.
    However, I can not see any side effects when merging the MR. So, I merged it in dev and will create a new release.
    Thanks for your work :)

    I released the 2.1.1 version; please check your use case if possible.

    a new release breaks the expected functionalityπŸ€―πŸ˜³πŸ˜‘πŸ˜ŸπŸ˜•

    @v.koval could you provide more information?
    Steps to reproduce, captures...

    The new release had broken the behavior of the throbber for me.

    I have an Ajaxified Views block, and every single result row has my custom Views field. This field has a submit element, that uses an Ajax callback. So, when I submit the row field for the first time, I can see that Ajax is working and the status message appears afterward. But when I click the submit for the second time, the Ajax Throbber does not appear and the status message simply shows after the callback was processed.

    However, the Views block I was describing above also has Facets with exposed filters, but it had worked as a charm before the new release. There were no issues with the Ajax loader not being removed when it was supposed to be.

    Oh I am sorry to hear that. I will investigate it as soon as possible. For the time being, you can use the 2.1.0 release.
    Are there any JS errors in the dev console?

  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦Ukraine EvilArgest

    Thanks for the reply!

    I haven't noticed any errors in the console since the update. I believe that the progressIsSet function prevents Ajax from firing more than 1 time for a single element.

    I quickly tried to reproduce it. These are my steps.

    • Fresh install enabled devel, devel_generate and created 50 articles.
    • Enabled ajax_loader and flags module (for ajax link/button).
    • Created a simple table view with page display for articles with a relationship to flag
    • Added the flag link as field
    • Enabled Pager and Ajax
    • All seems to work as expected

    See the video as an example. Because the ajax call is fast on fresh installs you only see a flashing black rectangle but that is the animation I saved in the ajax_loader settings. The throbber the mounted and unmounted every time for every click on the flag link or pager.

    Hi, @mvogel! Here are my steps to reproduce the issue:

    • Fresh install D10 with enabled devel_generate and ajax_loader;
    • Generated 50 articles and created a View that shows title, image and my custom ajaxified field (code below);
    • Added an ugly padding to the throbber, so it can be easily seen;
    • Tested the field with the response on the page. Works only for 1 time per submit in my case.

    The link with testing - https://www.loom.com/share/6d713b4f717943098ba9b4fe73b463d4

    The code I use for my custom field:

    /**
     * Ajax Loader test field.
     *
     * @ingroup views_field_handlers
     *
     * @ViewsField("ajax_loader_test")
     */
    class AjaxLoaderTest extends FieldPluginBase {
    
      use UncacheableFieldHandlerTrait;
    
      public function query() {
        // Leave empty.
      }
    
      public function getValue(ResultRow $row, $field = NULL) {
        return '<!--form-item-' . $this->options['id'] . '--' . $row->index . '-->';
      }
    
      public function viewsForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
        $form[$this->options['id']]['#tree'] = TRUE;
    
        $wrapper_id = $this->view->current_display . 'ajax-loader-field';
        $form['#attached']['library'][] = 'core/jquery.form';
        $form['#attached']['library'][] = 'core/drupal.ajax';
        $form['#prefix'] = "<div id='$wrapper_id'>";
        $form['#suffix'] = "</div>";
        unset($form['actions']['submit']);
    
        foreach ($this->view->result as $row_index => $row) {
          $form[$this->options['id']][$row_index] = [
            '#type' => 'submit',
            '#value' => $this->t('Click Me!'),
            '#name' => 'ajax-loader-field' . $row_index,

            '#attributes' => [
              'class' => [
                'button--ajax-loader-field',
                'use-ajax-submit',

            ],

              'wrapper' => $wrapper_id,
              'url' => Url::fromUserInput($form['#action']),
              'options' => [
                'query' => [
                  FormBuilderInterface::AJAX_FORM_REQUEST => TRUE,
                ],
              ],
            ],
          ];
        }
      }
    
      public static function ajaxCallback(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
        $response = new AjaxResponse();
        $response->addCommand(new MessageCommand('Response!'));
        return $response;
      }
    }

    I can now reproduce this behavior with your steps.
    It is still weird, with exposed filter form, pager and ajax link (a-tag) the this.progress.element is empty on consecutive ajax calls only with this viewsForm field this.progress.element is still defined.
