ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

• UI

SUMMARY

Possibly related to https://github.com/ansible/tower/issues/2760
When a user is automatically logged out, they can log back in and land on the page they previously viewed. However, if the page they previously viewed is for a resource that no longer exists (for example, a job template that is now deleted), the page 404s (which is fine) and the user is logged back out (which is not fine).

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: AWX 4.0.0-25-g4e01b1157
• AWX install method: docker on linux
• Ansible version: 2.7.9
• Operating System: Fedora 29
• Web Browser: Google Chrome

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Wait for a session to expire so the user is logged out, while viewing a resource like a job template.
2. Via API or another session, delete the resource that the initial session was on.
3. Log back into the initial session.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The page redirects to the missing resource, a 404 is displayed, and confirmation of the 404 dialog modal redirects to the dashboard.

ACTUAL RESULTS

The page redirects to the missing resource, a 404 is displayed, and confirmation of the 404 dialog modal logs the user back out. The only way to "recover" is to manually visit the dashboard via URL bar.

Can you test on top of https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/3510 ?

[dsesami]

Tested with #3510, it behaves. @jbradberry ping me when that is merged so i can re-verify and close this as appropriate.

[jbradberry]

@dsesami this has just merged.

[dsesami]

Verified that this behaves as intended now, the user is no longer redirected around.

this seems to be back: I log in, get a 404, and get logged right out.

restarted my AWX stack, that fixed it.
