Description Patrick Silva 2018-02-09 13:12:33 UTC
Discover shows no error message when I try add an invalid source uri/url.
Comment 1 Aleix Pol 2018-02-12 18:10:05 UTC
Where do you add it?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-02-12 18:11:25 UTC
This is in the dialog that appears from Settings > hamburger dropdown menu for a backend > Add repo/source.

This commit introduces a fairly significant usability regression: the pop-up's close button is non-functional, so there's no visible way to get rid of it!

I don't think that's the right fix. That commit adds a symbolic close button in the corner that does work (though it's blurry and pixellated for some reason), but the textual close button still does nothing. Let's fix the existing close button rather than leaving it broken and adding a redundant control.
Comment 8 Aleix Pol 2018-03-01 19:04:27 UTC
Can you show me what you see? I have no idea what you are talking about.

What the "Add source" dialog looks like now

Sure, here's what it looks like now as of your latest commit.

The red symbolic close button that you just added works, but shouldn't even be there at all since there's a textual Close button below. Alas, the textual close button doesn't work; clicking on it does nothing.

Also, the "close" button should probably be renamed "cancel", neither button has an icon, and the return key doesn't invoke the OK button. All in all there's a lot of work to be done here, but we can track those with other bugs if you'd like.

I've submitted a patch that fixes all of the above-mentioned issues: https://phabricator.kde.org/D11003

Fix the Add Source dialog

Summary:
Fix a variety of bugs and usability issues with the {nav Add Source} dialog:
- Make the close button actually close the dialog
- Give the text field focus so you can immediately start typing
- Make the return key push the Add button
- Remove needless close symbol in top-right corner
- Give the buttons icons
- Re-word the title and make it larger

Test Plan:
Before:
{F5738465}

After:
{F5738429}

Tested with Flatpak backend:
- Invalid URLs are rejected
- Valid URLs that nonetheless don't point to a Flatpak repo trigger an error message
- The close button now closes the dialog
- The escape key still closes the dialog
- The return and enter keys press the {nav Add} button
