Workaround for Forcing Redeployment in nevisAdmin 4.1.0

Known issue​

In nevisAdmin 4.1.0, the function force redeployment does not work properly. It is available from multiple screens in the deployment wizard. See Deployment of the configuration for an example.

Workaround​

If you need to use this function, follow the deployment wizard until step 3. Then, follow these steps:

  1. Start the developer tools of your browser.
  2. In the network tab, filter for: plan?scan=true.
  3. Go back to the deployment wizard and click force redeployment.
  • You will now see step 3 of the wizard. Do not click deploy yet, otherwise you run into a known issue (→ nothing happening in step 4).
  1. Apply the following workaround:

  • Firefox:

  • Click on the selected plan?scan=true request.

  • Remove the filter. Click Edit and resend, change true to false, and send.

How to apply the workaround with Firefox

  • Continue with step 5.

  • Google Chrome:

  • Copy this javascript into browser console:

    Javascript Solution

    let xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhttp.open("PUT", "<INSERT YOUR URL HERE>", true);
    xhttp.setRequestHeader("X-XSRF-TOKEN", '<INSERT YOUR TOKEN HERE>');
    xhttp.send();

  • Copy request URL from network tab (should end with plan?scan=true) and replace <INSERT YOUR URL HERE> with URL while changing scan=trueto scan=false.

  • Copy request X-XSRF-TOKEN and replace <INSERT YOUR TOKEN HERE> with it.

How to apply the workaround with Chrome
  1. Now, go back to the deployment wizard and click deploy.

Note: the Deployment preview may not be correct.* To see all commands executed when forcing redeployment, consult Generation results in step 2 of the deployment wizard.
