🐞 Bogus UI when loading voting booth without credentials

[ElectricPaperInformationssystemeGmbH]

Preflight checklist

• I could not find a solution in the existing issues, docs, nor discussions.

Current Behavior

When entering the path /booth/<election-id>/vote without having logged in (without user credentials), errors happen (shown in the debug console) and an invalid and unexpected erroneous UI appears to the voter.

Expected Behavior

A proper error page explaining that no credentials were found should appear to the visitant.

Implemented solution

The error page is now shown instead, and the Go back button goes to the ConfigService.defaultRoute. Here is a screenshot:

@ElectricPaperInformationssystemeGmbH I have not been able to replicate this error. Please provide a way to replicate this issue:

• a minimal election configuration that shows the issue. As minimal as possible, to ensure that the error is related to one of the few features used.
• detailed steps of how to reproduce it

I tried to:

• create an election with presentation.extra_options jut being "success_screen__redirect__url": "http://google.es", "disable__public_home": true and the issue didn't happen to me, I was redirected successfully.
• reproduce the issue using the demo booth of https://vnext.gremienwahlen.de/booth/101/demo-vote (one of the children elections in the screenshot) and I couldn't - when I clicked finish, I was redirected to EPI website successfully.
• I tried to copy the presentation.extra_options from mentioned election 101 above (which includes other configuration settings than redirect url and disabled public home) in a new election configuration, and also failed to replicate.

@edulix Try this one https://vnext.gremienwahlen.de/booth/100/vote

@ElectricPaperInformationssystemeGmbH thank you very much! that probably should be fixed, but I think it's a different issue: in v10 the demo voting booth is not https://vnext.gremienwahlen.de/booth/100/vote but https://vnext.gremienwahlen.de/booth/100/demo-vote . And with this second link, things seem to work? If the behavior is also failing after after authentication, then please provide a minimal election.json config so we can replicate in our environment.

@edulix ok, I think this is the main problem. Sorry about that, I was misinformed.

No worries, you actually detected a bug since it's failing to show a valid error message or redirect anywhere and in the console log there is an exception being thrown which generates that. I'll still fix it :-)
