Sharing with a Circle shows an error

[go2sh]

Steps to reproduce

1. Click on the share button for a unshared folder
2. Search for a Circle
3. Select the Circle as sharing target

Expected behaviour

Sharee will show up in the list and the folder is shared with the circle.

Actual behaviour

The error bar is shown with "Fehler" (Error) and the sharee is not selected. If I reload the page, the sharee is selected and can access the share. No audit log entry is created.

Have you installed Circle from the github or from the appstore ? I know there was a bug with the ShareeProvider on the repository few days ago

[go2sh]

From the appstore.

[ArtificialOwl]

Are you a member of the circle you're trying to share to ?

Can you share to anything else that a circle (like another user or group) ?

[go2sh]

Yes, I'am the only member and owner. (Secret Circle)

Yes, normal groups are working.

In the Settings page, Admin Section/Additional Settings, there is a paragraph about Circles and a button to 'Test Async'. Can you click on that button and confirm me the value you have (from 0 to 5)

[go2sh]

Test is now over; final score: null

[ArtificialOwl]

Beside using nginx, can you give me some details on the setup ? Can you send me the logs from your httpd during the test or during the share ?

[go2sh]

Ahh, sorry. I found the problem. One error message from the post was, that the certificate could not be validated. It was a setup issue, I had no intermediate CA and Root CA in our cert file. Now the score is 5.
Obviously, the app makes some local http requests to the server, but the error reporting gave no clue about the cause of the failure. Maybe ticket should be renamed: "Improve error reporting for circles app." and moved to the circles repo. I'am closing it here.
