[fballiano]

you see the alert but then when you click there's the "no records"? really weird

@kiatng what do you think?

btw this is the original PR #3647

[hirale]

confirmed.

[fballiano]

@kiatng true, it happens only right after login, if you refresh the alert disappears

[starnetwork]

@fballiano
true, refresh and the alert disappears but it's back every time any admin do login again and again

[fballiano]

I know, but it was important to tell that to the original author of the PR for debug

[kiatng]

I did a test on the latest next branch:

adminhtml.xml, add a Test resource:

<config>
    <acl>
        <resources>
            <admin>
                <children>
                    <celera_crib translate="label" module="crib">
                        <title>Celera Modules</title>
                        <children>
                            <crib translate="title">
                                <title>Crib Services</title>
                                <sort_order>1000</sort_order>
                            </crib>
                            <test translate="title">
                                <title>Test</title>
                                <sort_order>1100</sort_order>
                            </test>
                        </children>
                    </celera_crib>

Then in backend > System > Roles > select a role and toggle the checkbox of the resource > Save

Logout from backend.

Changed resource now to Test2 in adminhtml.xml

                            <test2 translate="title">
                                <title>Test2</title>
                                <sort_order>1100</sort_order>
                            </test2>

Login to backend, notice of orphaned resource Test:

Click on the link, the orphaned resource is listed:

I do not know why the grid can be empty. I will think about it.

[pquerner]

Check the exception log file, maybe something is in there.

[fballiano]

it happens for a customer of mine:

but then clicking on the link:

and in the table those resources are there:

[kiatng]

@fballiano Could it be cache? Can you try refresh it?

[fballiano]

@kiatng no it's been reset many times

[kiatng]

@fballiano Need your help: what is the output array of Mage::getModel('admin/roles')->getResourcesList2D();? Do you see orphaned resources such as admin/storepickup/holidays/action listed in the array?

[fballiano]

yes there are:

[JonLaliberte]

Just wanted to confirm the problem as well.
After requesting a delete of ~30 orphaned roles, a message came up saying it deleted ~150. That's always scary.
Logged out, back in and the message came back, but the table is empty now.

That's because an orphaned resource may have several entries in the table admin_rule, for example if user1 to user5 are not allowed a resource, it'll have 5 entries in the table for the resource. That's why it reported deletion of 150.

Because I cannot replicate the annoying message and empty grid, I am stumped why this happen to some people. I am still working on it trying to pin point the source. @fballiano is helping me on this.

I welcome any lead or theory.

[kiatng]

With @fballiano help, I finally managed to replicate the bug. Please allow a few days to find the cause.

The bug is that the notice about orphaned resources is wrong. However, I think the empty grid is correct, so there is no danger of wrongly deleting resources.

[kiatng]

The cause is actually an additional <action> node in the adminhtml.xml file:

<config>
    <!-- ... -->
    <acl> <!-- UNDER THIS ACL NODE -->
         <resources>
              <admin>
                <children>
                    <storepickup module="storepickup" translate="title">
                        <title>Store Pickup</title>
                        <sort_order>70</sort_order>
                        <children>
                            <stores module="storepickup" translate="title">
                                <title>Manage Stores</title>
                                <sort_order>0</sort_order>
                                <action>storepickup/adminhtml_store</action> <!-- REMOVE THIS LINE -->
                            </stores>

The <action> node is for assigning a menu item to a controller action. It should not be in the ACL.

@fballiano Please test by removing all <action> nodes under <acl>, refresh the cache, and see if the orphaned resource notice is rendered.

It's a bit more complicated than I thought. The <action> is added to the table admin_rule by mistake. It's a mistake because the node is not part of the ACL.

In admin > System > Permissions > Roles > edit a role, the resources are correctly listed without the <action>.
