[edge] Links to specific machines are broken

[Stéphane Graber]

This is on current latest/edge.

When on the machine list, clicking a specific machine works as expected and gets me to something like https://services.stgraber.org/MAAS/r/machine/7w3f7e/summary. But if I middle click to open in a tab, I instead get sent to https://services.stgraber.org/MAAS/r/machine/7w3f7e which apparently isn't a valid URL and so get redirected to https://services.stgraber.org/MAAS/r/dashboard

This is extremely annoying as my normal workflow is to open the MAAS machine list and then open all the machines I care about in tabs. Doing this now, just results in every one of my tabs showing me a device discovery list (/r/dashboard) instead of the machine I want to look at.

i can't reproduce this in the edge distribution, in Firefox or Chrome. can you give me more information about what you're using, and possibly some http logs?

This one may also be RBAC related.
I'm hitting the issue in Firefox, other team members reported the same behavior on their end.

The HTTP log isn't very interesting as the bulk of this appears to be going on within javascript instead:

It looks like this has been inadvertently fixed as of this commit:
https://git.launchpad.net/maas/commit/?id=4b8977764d95f286867a7539aeb1ac437da5169a

A separate bug regarding setting cookies was fixed, specifically the line referenced here: https://github.com/canonical-web-and-design/maas-ui/pull/2944/files#diff-d89226ec31d158da289f4b79e877ca3b12b70d993555b6bf4fec186446181e61R99

At least in my own testing, the issue is present before that commit and not present after that commit, so I will assume that nothing more needs to be done. Please re-open if you're still running into this issue on the edge snap. Thanks!

For context the issue seems like it was a race condition where it was assumed a user would always be loaded before something else, but in the case of MAASes with RBAC authentication this was not the case.
