Error class is set to wrong password element in accounts form.

Created on 23 November 2023, 7 months ago
Updated 22 December 2023, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

If a user wants to change the password he/she needs to enter the current password as well in the user edit form. The current password undergoes the form validation and return with the proper error message. But if we check the the error class is added to the new password form element which is not causing it to fail.
After following the steps to reproduce you will notice the error class is added to the wrong element.
The problem is the with :-
$form_state->setErrorByName($field_name, $violation->getMessage()); in core/modules/user/src/AccountForm.php. What it does is that it set the error for all the elements whose names start with pass.

Steps to reproduce

1)Navigate to user-edit form.
2) Enter the wrong current password while keeping everything else correct.
3) Save the form.

Proposed resolution

Instead of $form_state->setErrorByName($field_name, $violation->getMessage()); in core/modules/user/src/AccountForm.php. use the setError method.

    Setting this back to NR as I manually tested the MR and the focus is indeed on the Current password field after clicking Save. @smustgrave Do you have any additional details/steps to reproduce the issue?

    Tested again and still focus is not on current password field
    On user edit form
    Input incorrect current password
    Add some new password + confirm password
    Click Save
    I see the error around the current password but focus isn't there.

    So looking at the code I don't see anything that actually puts focus there though, just setting an error. If that's what the ticket is addressing then title and issue summary could be updated, before/after screenshots too.

    Is this about the focus handling or error styles? The issue summary is talking about focus handling but the MR is adding an error class. We don't have functionality in place that would refocus fields with server side validation errors.

    Sorry but still not clear. Title and summary still talks about the focus, but MR seems to be fixing the error. Which is it suppose to be? Looking at this based on focus when there is an error focus is not on it.

    The bug was reproducible on drupal 10.1 and 11. Tested and reviewed this MR manually which fixes the focus issue for current_password field. Attaching before and after screenshots for better clarity of this issue. changing the status to NR again.

    Thatโ€™s an error but if you hit tab youโ€™re in the toolbar region so focus is not on the error field.

    Agree with @smustgrave, and I think this issue is only related to showing error class on correct form element.
    Added related tags.

  • Agreed with @smustgrave and @narendraR. The issue summary was written correctly.I'm sorry for that.
    I have updated the summary and described the real problem.Marking it needs review once again.

    Small suggestion regarding the current approach.

  • As we are splitting the accounts form in 3 different forms in Users could not find the Change password fields ๐Ÿ› Users could not find the Change password fields Needs review and this takes care of this edge case in the form validator for the newly created form, So I think if the above MR lands in first then this is not required.
