Button in web control does nothing

[Azsorlex26]

Web control's "Finish up, then stop" button literally does nothing. After trying to use it on multiple occasions to automatically stop the current WU so a new one isn't pointlessly downloaded, I realised it wasn't working. So I dived into the webpage's code and realised that the button actually doesn't do anything at all besides close the popup. In comparison, the stop button has an additional line of code which immediately pauses folding, whereas there's nothing at all in the finish up button that suggests signalling the system to pause after a WU finishes. Please fix this.

Yes, this was reported during the roll-out of FAHClient 7.6.9. I'm not sure what will be in the next version.

I believe that was fixed in one of the beta versions of the client after 7.6.9, current beta is 7.6.13.

Is there a downside to using the beta version? I remember reading somewhere about Beta WUs and having to sign up to use it to avoid stealing WUs from those who are registered. I don't know; tried googling it but couldn't find it again. Other than that, any other downsides?

Beta WUs have nothing to do with Beta versions of FAHClient. The 7.8.13 client version is a beta version meaning it has not passed all the necessary testing to call it released. If you want to run it, you may find it behaves in unexpected ways.

Beta testing of FAH Projects (proteins) is another matter. We want folks to agree to a special code of conduct which includes making detailed reports if you encounter unexpected folding characteristics. All projects proceed from initial internal testing, to beta testing with a select group, to Advanced testing (safe enough for fairly wide testing) , to full FAH (i.e.- released.)

v7.6.13 has moved out of beta and is available for general use. You can download it from https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/ Give this a try and see if it solves the issue with the button.

So I uninstalled my current version using sudo dpkg -P fahclient and installed the new one after a reboot, however the code didn't change (as shown below). FAHClient --version returned 7.6.13.

Code: Select all

$('#stop-popup .cancel').on('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('#stop-popup').dialog('destroy');
});

Thanks. I've found an open defect for this in Github and added your comments -- https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-issues/issues/1415
