Wizard Form Page Unexpectedly Redirects with 303 Back to Top-Level Site

[Noel Weichbrodt]

This is not a request for help, just a document of my own stupidity. Hopefully it saves someone else (or my future self!) some time & trouble.

Symptom: 

Your form page that is using a Wizard will unexpectedly redirect to the top-level index page when you try to access it. Eg, you try to access /test and you end up with a HTTP 303 redirect to /. You have no URL rewrite, HTTP pipeline redirect, or form redirect that would do such a thing.

Solution:

You dummy, you tried to make a Screen using the same syntax as the Wizard. Eg:

object Foo extends Wizard {

  object Bar extends Screen {

    //…

}}

Try the correct Screen syntax on for size:

object Foo extends Wizard {

  val Bar = new Screen {

    //…

]}

HTH.

Noel,

Thanks for the excellent pointer to the subtle difference... can you open a ticket at http://ticket.liftweb.net and assign it to me referencing this thread.  I'll try to create autodetect logic in Wizard to flag this sort of thing.

Thanks!

David

Thanks David, see https://github.com/lift/framework/issues/1293.

Couldn't assign the issue to you since I'm not a github collaborator.
