On first login, sometimes the Cards collection shows no data (see attached image).
However, when an admin clicks on a different collection next, it shows the data on that collection.
Then going back to the original collection displays the data – with no error.
All other collections work as expected.
I have only noticed this on production - dev and staging seem fine.
Cards are the first collection an admin is taken on login. We have implemented a user scope by Company Name for most of the collections.
I am afraid I don’t. I neglected to look at the production logs yesterday, and I wasn’t able to reproduce the failure today. I will make sure to make a note of the production server logs when it happens again and post them here.
There is a a problem with your scopes and filtering by the userTags.
What is happening is sometimes it passes empty string ‘"’ to the controllers, sometimes it passes the correct variable. This is a totally random and unpredictable occurrence. The scopes are filled in correctly and the tags are filled in correctly, but forest is not passing the right variable/string consistently. We refresh that table and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
This is how we setup the scopes:
scope by company_id
filter_company = lambda do |condition, where|
company_value = condition[‘value’]
case condition[‘operator’]
when ‘equal’
“card_transactions.id IN (SELECT card_transactions.id
FROM card_transactions
JOIN cards ON cards.id = card_transactions.card_id
JOIN users ON users.id = cards.user_id
JOIN companies ON companies.id = users.company_id
WHERE companies.name = ‘#{company_value}’)”
end
end
field :company, type: ‘String’, is_filterable: true, filter: filter_company do
# no performance issues identified by bullet in previous implementation,
# but added includes anyway. adding it doesn’t seem to make any difference. The reason is that we are looking
# for card transactions one by one
company = CardTransaction.where(id: object.id).includes(card: [user: :company]).first.card.user.company
“#{company.name}”
end
Example of the logs where it is passing nothing for the company field. @anon94532230
FYI we cannot reproduce consistently. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt and we didn’t make any change from our side.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for the detailed answer.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reproduce this bug on my end. Maybe I’m missing something. Could you please share the whole file where filter_company is defined ?

We have been seeing this bug a lot again on staging and production yesterday. Today it seems to be working fine again. Keep in mine our production we have not done a deploy for 2 months - we have only been working on staging. So production environment there were no changes at all. But bug reappeard.
The only thing we can think of is a caching issue from forest admin. You guys are probably incorrectly caching something if there is heavy load. It is sending ‘’ instead of the correct usertag… pls advise.
We are able to replicate the bug from before (the missing data/weird data records) - we can confirm it is a caching bug related to the scopes.
a) Using one browser - Login with one account for company A to dashboard (with a scope for a company A) → data shows up fine in collections for company A
b) Using same browser - logout and then login with a DIFFERENT account (with a scope for company B) → company A data will show up in the dashboard for the company B account.
This is a caching issue. If we do it on two different laptops for the logins - it works ok. Pls advise ASAP - We are able to replicate this.
