Splunk Setup View Example - infinite loop in Firefox

ajn

Hi All,

The AppInspect checks for Splunk Apps were recently changed to verify that setup.xml is not used, instead requiring that apps follow the approach demonstrated by the canonical example at https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3728/#/overview

Unfortunately, we have noticed that the save functionality does not work in the Firefox browser (it seems to loop infinitely instead of redirecting to the main App page).

Has anyone managed to make this new configuration approach work 100% correctly in Firefox?

Is it possible for this example to be updated so that it works reliably across modern browsers?

Thanks!

Hey @ajn  - check out case_studies/weather_app_example in the https://github.com/splunk/splunk-app-examples repo. In response to your post, we updated the way the app was handling the Submit button to ensure it works correctly on Firefox. Thanks for letting us know about the issue!
