I have a relatively new installation of Drools in a WildFly 8.2.0 container.  I am using the kie-wb-distribution-wars-6.3.0.Final-wildfly8.war distribution and am also running the kie-server-6.3.0.Final-ee7.war.

When on the project authoring page, I have no "Tools" menu with the "Explore", "New Item", and "Repository" menus.  I've searched for a resolution and the only one suggested that you had to use a certain distribution of the Drools, which I believe I am using.  I just found another user with the same issue.

I have tried this setup on my local Windows workstation as well as a Centos 7 server.  Image(s) above.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

HI,

I downloaded Wildfly 8.2.1, downloaded both kie-drools-wb-6.3.0.Final-wildfly-8.war and kie-wb-6.3.0.Final-wildfly-8.war.

Running WF (./standalone.sh) and deploying kie-drools-wb worked fine in both Chrome 48 and FireFox 44.

Running WF (./standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml) and deploying kie-wb worked fine in both Chrome 48 and FireFox 44.

Have I missed something? Did you try clearing your browser cache (not that it should make the slightest bit of difference if you've never ran a "Drools Workbench").

With kind regards,

Mike

I’m using a Firefox provided internally to us here.  It’s 38.5.2, probably because they’re really behind on testing and such.  Deleting

 

I have issues with some parts of KIE and even JBoss management depending upon the browser I used (I.E. versus Firefox), and the version of WildFly.

 

What’s odd (or disappointing) is that I think they use Google Web Toolkit to build a lot of UI.  That’s supposed to output compatible code with a wide range of browsers and then detect them dynamically.  I played around with GWT and told others that it was “magic”, but maybe it’s not.

 

Nonetheless, this might be browser issue only resolved by upgrading and/or switching browsers.

 

I did open a browser console and when I select “Project Authoring”, it did throw the following error:

 

17:11:41.679 NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITaskbarTabPreview.invalidate]1 WindowsPreviewPerTab.jsm:406:0

 

I’m not sure what that refers to exactly, but I suppose with time I could track it down.  I think the best course of action is to try a different browser or an upgraded version of Firefox.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Michael

The error you paste is an issue with FireFox 38. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127577

Whilst GWT is great at blurring browser differences from the developer; it can do little about bugs in the browsers themselves.

Wow!!!  I have to say I am seriously impressed with your detective skills!

 

I’m also grateful for your generosity in tracking this down.  I’ll go yell at the browser folks to update the version.

 

Thanks!

I tried the latest Chrome browser, but no “Tools” menu.  

 

I’m sure it’s probably something in the configuration somewhere or some other failure of my pathetic technical ability.

 

Again, thank you for your suggestions.

 

Michael
