sortable.js 0.8.0 (abandoned since 2014) sorted only a table's first
body: in the grouped VM list the first host's row moved among its VMs
and the other hosts never sorted, and memory sorted as text ("1024 MB"
before "512 MB"). tablesort 5.7.1 sorts each table body on its own and
keeps a row marked data-sort-method="none" in place, so hosts stay in
name order with their row on top and their VMs sort below it. Memory,
vCPUs and volume sizes sort by their numbers (data-sort). Headers are
reachable by keyboard and carry aria-sort.
base.html loads tablesort for every table marked data-sortable; the
per-page sortable includes and sortable-theme-bootstrap.css go, so these
tables take the theme's table style like the others. The grouped list's
row numbers go (meaningless once sorted). The VM owners and VM logs
tables were marked sortable but never loaded the script; they stay
unsorted.
The Logs page now records every change an admin makes to a compute's
libvirt objects, with the compute's name in the host column:
- networks: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, DHCP range, fixed
addresses, QoS and XML edits;
- storage pools: add, start, stop, delete, autostart, from web and
API; volumes: add and delete (web and API), clone and ISO upload;
- host interfaces: add, start, stop, delete;
- secrets: add, set value (never the value), delete;
- network filters: add, clone, delete, XML edits, rules and
references.
A refused or failed change is a failed row with its reason (libvirt
text through safe_text). The volume clone and upload jobs write their
row when they end; a refused submission is a failed row at once. A
volume row names the volume libvirt created (a dir pool adds .qcow2 or
.img). Volume create or delete through the API on an inactive pool
(409) is a failed row.
Network filters: the rows read "Network filter f1: add" instead of
"f1 network filter is created", and their host is the compute's name
instead of its hostname. A duplicate name or UUID no longer raises a
bare exception, and a filter XML that cannot be parsed no longer ends
in UnboundLocalError.
Stopping a network cut the running VMs on it off, deleting one or a
secret kept the VMs that name it from starting, and stopping a pool
took the disks of running VMs away, all without a word. Each is now
refused with the VMs (and, for a secret, the pools) that need it:
stopping while a running VM uses it, deleting while a VM's definition
names it. A disk given by its file path does not need its pool's
definition. The API's pool stop is refused the same way.

Twenty-five prompts asked only "Are you sure?", and on the storage page
one handler asked the same before every button, Start and Enable
included. Each destructive button now names its object and says what
happens: a stopped network cuts running VMs off, a deleted pool keeps
its files, a deleted volume loses its data, a reverted snapshot loses
the changes made since. Saves no longer ask, and disabled buttons lose
prompts they could not show. The VM QoS messages said to restart the
network where the VM has to be powered off and on.

The usage list of the create-secret dialog came from the map that names
the usage types of existing secrets, so it offered none and tls too; the
form takes ceph, volume and iscsi only, and picking none or tls always
failed with "Select a valid choice". The dialog now lists the form's own
choices.
The edit dialog of a secret was filled with its current value, so every
readable secret's value was in the secrets page's HTML. A private
secret, or one with no value yet, cannot be read: its field held the
text "None", which is valid base64, and saving the dialog unchanged set
the secret to the three bytes it decodes to. The dialog now only writes
a new value: the field starts empty, is a password field and is
required. The page no longer reads secret values, and get_secret_value,
used only for that, is gone.
get_secret_value returned bytes, so the edit dialog showed b'cHc=' (the
bytes' repr) for the base64 value cHc=. Saving the dialog as shown fed
"b'cHc='" to b64decode, which dropped the quotes and the b and stored
other bytes: the secret silently changed (pw became m\xc1\xdc). The value
is now base64 text, and set_secret_value decodes with validate=True, so
a value that is not base64 is refused with a message instead. The field
had an invalid pattern ([a-zA-Z0-9]$+, ignored by browsers) and a 45
character limit; it takes base64 of any length.
An accessibility scan with every modal opened found 49 fields without a
name: the labels of the instance create forms (custom, template and each
flavor's modal), the interface, network, secret and storage pool modals
did not point at their fields. Each label now has a for= and its field an
id, prefixed per form (and per flavor), so a click on the label focuses
the field too. The "Advanced" collapse buttons and the memory and
processing bars are named.
The VCPU config select had id="vcpu_mode" in each of these forms, nine
times on the create page; the unique-ID test did not see it as the test
driver reports no CPU modes. The id goes (nothing used it), and the test
now renders that branch.
create_secret wrote the usage value into the secret XML with an f-string,
unchecked: a quote, "<" or "&" broke the XML or added to it. The page's
pattern ([a-z0-9. ]+) was the only check and refused real values: a
volume secret's path ("/") and an iSCSI IQN ("-", ":"). The XML is now
built with lxml, so the value is text whatever it holds, and the input
keeps only required and the form's 100 characters; libvirt reports a
value it does not take.
A live test creates a volume, an iSCSI and a Ceph secret with real
values through the page.
An accessibility scan (axe-core, WCAG 2 A/AA) of every page found 87
elements without a name. Icon-only buttons and links (the navbar's
administration menu on every page, the add/create buttons, the flavor
delete and back buttons) get a title, which is also their tooltip; the
labels of the language, architecture, chipset and filter selects point
at them; the memory bar is named. The shared delete confirmation page
had an empty <title> and heading, as no view passes "title": it says
"Delete <object>". The power-off form's aria-label was misspelled.
Rendered through every URL on libvirt's test driver, the pages had
duplicate IDs and markup browsers repaired silently:
- Each flavor modal's "Advanced" button toggled #flav-add-collapse, the
first modal's section; every modal now has its own. The flavor and
template copies of the custom tab's control IDs, and the template
tab's unused images input, are gone.
- The VM page's action icons and the XML editors were styled by
repeated IDs; they use classes.
- Modal forms opened inside modal-body and closed after modal-footer;
they wrap both. Stray end tags and duplicate attributes are removed,
paragraphs no longer hold modals or rows, table heads have a row, and
the create page closes its row and column.
- html lang is the active language instead of "en".
A test walks every URL as a superuser and fails on a repeated ID. The
console page still has no doctype: its full-height layout relies on
quirks mode and needs its own check.
131 test modules sat next to the code they test; instances alone had
51 of them beside views.py and utils.py. They move into a
tests/ package per app, and the JavaScript checks into
webvirtcloud/tests/js. Each non-empty tests.py becomes tests/test_views.py;
the empty generated stubs are removed.
Imports of the app's own modules become absolute, paths built from
__file__ go one level up, the live helper is instances.tests.livetest,
and coverage omits */tests/*. The suite discovers the same 960 tests as
before.
Super-linter ran from the unpinned :latest image and, because of
branches-ignore: [master], never on pull requests to master. Ruff now
checks syntax errors and pyflakes rules (E9, F) on every push and PR.
Fixes the existing findings: unused imports and variables, an unused
duplicate import in instances/tests.py, and the star import in
accounts/views.py. settings-dev.py keeps its star import of the base
settings.
