If I right click on a slave and hit refresh it disappears from the slave list.
Refresh All brings them all back.
Hmm, I can’t seem to reproduce this.
Are you running Pulse? If so, does restarting Pulse make a difference?
Cheers,

If I stop pulse and restart the monitor I get this error:
[code]An error occured while gathering the repository data:
Error in file \…etc.job (system.exception)
It is likely that there is a stalled slave in the network that is not giving up its lock on one or more files in the repository.[/code]
Ok restarted the pulse service since none of the monitors could open. They still disappear when individually refreshed and reappear with a full refresh.
Interesting. Maybe try moving that job folder out of the repository to see if that helps the Monitor load again.
Weird. Any chance the Monitors and Pulse are different versions? Maybe send us the Monitor log and we’ll check if there are any errors that explain the problem.
Found the bug. It’s when the “Show Slaves that can render the selected job” checkbox is checked.
Ack, I still can’t reproduce, even with the slave filter enabled.

Log.
No errors there. I’m a bit stumped…
Do you have any slave filters enabled?
Some questions that just came to mind:
- Is the job assigned to a pool, or assigned to ‘none’?
- Is the job assigned to a group, or assigned to ‘none’?
- Does the job have a whitelist/blacklist?
- Does the job use any limit groups? If so, do they have a whitelist/blacklist?
I’m just thinking it might be something in the combination of job properties that causes this behavior. If our jobs are configured differently, that could explain why we can’t reproduce.
- ‘none’
- Global
- No White/Blacklist
- No limit groups

Thank you!! I can reproduce now. It must have to do with the pool/group. We’ll try to get to the bottom of this.

This will be fixed in alpha 5. Thanks again for helping us get to the bottom of this!
