Smart Action - Prefill a form with default values not working in Production

[juliepierre]

Feature(s) impacted

Smart Action - Prefill a form with default values, using the hook feature

Observed behavior

The input is prefilled in development environment but when I try it in production, it does not work anymore.
Forest throws the following error : An error occured on form load. Check your server logs for more details.

Expected behavior

I expect the input to prefill the value, which is the actual behaviour in development.

Hello @juliepierre ! Welcome to our community

Thanks for this detailed thread.
I just need a few other information to help us find the culprit.

• Can also provide the details about the error received from your agent, it would help ? This can be done using the developer tools of your browser → Network tab.
• Could you, also, share the code of the smart action load hooks ?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Morgan

[juliepierre]

Hello Morgan !

Sure, there you have. FYI, I reproduced the issue on my staging environment, so here you will have the details from my staging app, but it is exactly the same issue on the live app.

The code of the smart action with the hooks

action "Créer un Versement Membre",
    type: 'single',
    fields: [
    {
      field: 'Montant en centimes',
      description: "Renseigner le montant du Versement Membre en centimes",
      type: 'Number',
      is_required: true
    },
    {
      field: 'Description',
      description: "Ajouter une description",
      type: 'String',
      is_required: true
    }],
    hooks: {
      :load => -> (context){
        description = context[:fields].find{|field| field[:field] == 'Description'}

        id = context[:params][:data][:attributes][:ids][0]
        transfer_code = TransferCode.find(id)

        description[:value] = "Versement #{transfer_code.member.company_name} #{transfer_code.validity_month.strftime('%m/%Y')}"

        return context[:fields]
      }
    }

Hey @juliepierre

The logs you mentionned in your first message indicate ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken.
Would it be possible to see the associated code ? (As DM if you consider it private, here otherwise)

Thanks

Hello !

I’m working on the same project and we are trying again to add a smart action prefilled with default values. We still encounter the same issue as above when we deploy : HTTP Origin header (https://app.forestadmin.com) didn't match request.base_url (https://ichangedthenameofmyapp.herokuapp.com).

We are currently using the gem forest_liana (7.7.3) / Rails 6.0.5.1 with Ruby 3.0.5.

Thanks for your help,

Diane

[jeffladiray]

Hey @DianeCP

Would it be possible for you to share your smart action definition, as well as your project name ?

Thanks in advance

[DianeCP]

Hello !

The project name is Culturepay

Smart Action Definition:

             context[:fields]
           end
         }

We have the same issue as before and we never managed to fix the previous one (Julie’s smart action is online but without default values).

Thanks

I just looked in our forest_liana code and there is no reference of this InvalidAuthenticityToken. Do you use any gem that can interfer with the forestadmin authentication on the agent side? Could you share here the route declaration for this action ?

Thanks in advance

[DianeCP]

I think InvalidAuthenticityToken is an error raised by Rails but triggered by the request origin problem. I am not sure which gem could interfere with forest authentication, however it seems to be the only use case where we have a problem (and only in production environments), otherwise the authentication works fine.

The route declaration is:

namespace :forest do
    post 'actions/modifier-un-intermittent' => 'employees#update_employee'
 end

=> creates the following route : forest_actions_modifier_un_intermittent POST /forest/actions/modifier-un-intermittent(.:format) forest/employees#update_employee

Thanks

[jeffladiray]

Hey

Any way you can share both the complete HTTP request and response that is failling ?

I can’t spot any specific issue with this action on my end. However, I can see a few changes regarding smart action between the 7.4.5 (If that’s still the one you are using) and our latest v7 (7.8.0). Can you try to upgrade and see if anything changes?

Thanks in advance

[DianeCP]

Would it also be possile to get the Controller as well ? (As DM if, again, you don’t want to share it publicly here )
