1 - added http://localhost:8080/never to my list of sites in the preferences 2 - Help->Install New Software 3 - pick some site other than never and select some software to install 4 - make sure [x] Contact all update sites during install to find required software is enabled 5 - Next 6 - authentication prompt (surprising but explainable?!) 7 - cancel the authentication Now the resolution has been cancelled. I was expecting that the resolution would continue and just ignore that repo.
I'll check the UI side on this first and also will compare to 3.4 behavior.
Although the workflows are different, we have the same problem in 3.4. Once you've selected something for install, there is an authentication prompt during resolution. If you cancel this prompt, the entire resolution is cancelled.
Created attachment 134712 [details] planner patch this patch continues gathering installable units even if a particular load repo throws OperationCanceledException.
requesting review from Pascal. Please note that this patch is experimental, I'm not sure the problem should be fixed for 3.5. It's possible we should review all this again in 3.6. The user workaround for this problem is to uncheck the [ ] Contact all sites checkbox and try resolving again. I'm not sure the implications of this change in the planner (what other scenarios this could effect) but I wanted to open a discussion about it.
One could perhaps argue that *not fixing* this bug forces the user to uncheck the "Contact all sites" checkbox and prevents more authentication prompts down the line (for example, when looking for artifacts during the actual download).
I believe that Henrik's proposed fix in bug 275233 would also fix this problem. In which case this patch is not relevant.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 275233 ***
I decided to mark this bug as a duplicate even if it was older than Bug 275233, since it has a patch.
