showListFirst (EDS v1.1.0 and later)

[Philip Durbin]

Hello Shibboleth Enthusiasts!

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/EDS10/3.2+EDS+Configuration+Options
says

showListFirst (v1.1.0 and later)

default value: false
If set to true then the dropdown box of IdPs is initially shown. If
the value is absent or set to false then the free text "search as you
type" box is displayed.

I'm interested in trying this option but I can't see to find where to
download EDS v1.1.0 (or later).

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/EDS10/2.+Installation
suggests that http://shibboleth.net/downloads/embedded-discovery-service/
might have it but the newest there is v1.0.2.

https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/EDS says v1.1 hasn't been
released yet.

I'm a little scared to grab from trunk at
http://svn.shibboleth.net/view/js-embedded-discovery/ but is that what
people recommend if I'd like to try the showListFirst option?

Thanks!

Phil

p.s. For my records, trunk is at revision 110 as of this writing.

If you want to use the code that has this option, this is what you'd use.
You can always check any changes the repo has seen from the last
release (tagged, I'm assuming) if you trust that.
And try it out on a test system.

Ok, thanks. I'm trying it out on my dev machine:

Autocomplete (type ahead) seems wonky... maybe I didn't concatenate
the files properly.

Thanks,

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that technical term ("wonky").
Could you give a slightly more conventional error description,
e.g. whether the wonkiness is also present in released versions, what
the input was, what the expected result was, and what the actual
result was?
Feel free to compare with other EDS instances out there (I can provide
URLs to some of our own, if needed).

A picture is probably worth a thousand words. Does looking at

help clarify?

... rather than...

Again, this bug is quite possibly something I introduced. The version
I concatenated together is here:

That looks like a CSS issue. What's the browser? Have you made any other
changes to anything else? - that grey background doesn't look standard, but
I haven't look at that code in quite some time.

What Rod said. I've seen that before when embedding it and some other

So did you try embedding it into an empty page, with no other CSS
around, and does it work there?

Peter, I appreciate you and Rod following up. I was planning on having
our designer look at the CSS when he has a chance but it's a good idea
to try this version trunk (revision 110) on a standalone page with no
other CSS. Even I can do that. :)

Unfortunately, the typeahead problem seems to be there even when no
other CSS is included. I'm attaching a screenshot. (This time I'm only
typing a single character: "h" to trigger the typeahead.)
