Move 'Webform repair configuration' to a dedicated confirmation form/page.

Created on 26 February 2024, 4 months ago
Updated 25 April 2024, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I accidentally ran the "Repair configuration" process by pressing the Enter key and expected, that the form was submitted. I don't know which side effects this process has, but I guess, that some precious config would be lost now.

The "Repair" button is also dangerously close to the "Save configuration" button, so it can be easily clicked by accident.

Steps to reproduce

* go to admin/structure/webform/config/advanced
* click a checkbox (now the input has focus)
* press Enter key
* because the form has 2 inputs of type submit, the first in the DOM is chosen, which is the repair button

Not sure, if this would change anything, but all JS libraries are disabled to avoid loading data from CDNs without consent and to avoid bloat.

Proposed resolution

* use 2 different forms or
* move the repair button below the save button as a quick and dirty workaround or
* make sure to confirm the repair process - see: https://www.drupal.org/docs/drupal-apis/form-api/confirmformbase-to-conf... โ†’

Either way. The form shouldn't have multiple submit buttons.

  • Issue created by @raffaelj
  • removed a line break in initial post that caused ugly markup

  • I had another look. This time with an open dev console in my Firefox and many errrors. For some reason the errors are only on the English version, not in the German one.

    Uncaught SyntaxError: "" string literal contains an unescaped line break advanced:1:88

    Some broken HTML markup caused all the contextual errors.

    web/modules/contrib/webform/src/Form/AdminConfig/WebformAdminConfigAdvancedForm.php

    Line 103 (unclosed "a" tag):

    - 'This behavior is disabled when the <a href=":href">Tippy.js library is disabled</a.'
    + 'This behavior is disabled when the <a href=":href">Tippy.js library is disabled</a>'
    

    Of course now the German translation is missing, because it was translated from the broken markup, but with correct closing tag. Now also all the fancy options aren't displayed italic anymore. Nice.

    Now I'm left with

    Uncaught SyntaxError: "" string literal contains an unescaped line break advanced:1:88

    in the English and the German version.

    web/modules/contrib/webform/src/Form/AdminConfig/WebformAdminConfigAdvancedForm.php

    Line 319:

    - . PHP_EOL
    + . '\r\n'
    

    Now both, the English and the German page ask for confirmation (with line break). Pressing the Enter key triggers that confirmation message.

    This only fixes the broken HTML. Triggering the confirm alert prevents damage, but is completely out of context. The actual issue should be resolved by moving the repair step into a different form.

    This also shows why relying purely on JavaScript isn't the best idea. It can break and than native HTML should do the job.

    Side note: This broken code is just another example why enabling all JS libraries by default is a bad idea and enabling CDN usage by default is an even worse idea.

    Let's move the repair to a confirmation page.

  • I had a quick look using the dev release. Now pressing Enter works as expected and the repair button is much more understandable with the added context. Thanks for the fix.
