Hello.

While looking at one of our users jobs, I noticed Rundeck Community 5.19.0 interface doesn’t show all the logs in node view. Here’s an example in screenshot

 

Ansible playbook executed by a Rundeck job’s step from a distant node.
Rundeck “Nodes” view is broken, with empty space instead of logs



Sometimes more logs is displayed (a few seconds more) but never the whole logs. The job actually ends a while after that.

Note that the same issue as the missing “whale of a log” link for huge log files. This happens with very small log execution files. The corresponding .rdlog file is only 337 kB and both the .rdlog file and “Log output” view show all the logs but “Log output” view doesn’t lose the nodes  context (what step has been executed in which notes) and users don’t have access to Rundeck server’s filesystem and thus can’t access to .rdlog files of their jobs’ executions.

Also, for some reason, all the steps (Ansible playbook, most of it being cloning git repos) are considered as errors. Probably because of a shell error on this node[1] but I don’t it’s related to missing logs, which seems to by a web interface (most likely javascript) bug.


I’m wondering if anyone had similar bugs.

  1. The beginning of the step for this node contain multiple `tput: unknown terminal "unknown”`. Everything after that is treated as an errer by Rundeck.

I have issues with github right now for reasons… Used to work normally… I am able to access issues only with links from github.com (such is open issues list) but not from external links…
