Unable to upload commissioning/test script

[Lee Trager]

A user on discourse[1] has reported that they are unable to upload a test script using the MAAS UI on Linux via drag and drop or using the file upload. They claim they can using Windows. I confirmed I'm also unable to upload a commissioning or test script using the UI on Linux however I don't have access to Windows.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Browser: Firefox 77.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1

I know that the upload page was updated awhile ago. I forgot if the update was for 2.8 or this will need to be backported.

Hi

This issue is present in 2.7.3 (8291-g.384e521e6-0ubuntu1~18.04.2)

Are you planning to backport it from the 2.8?

Thanks

This is not urgent but if it is easy to backport, would be good just to have it fixed.

I can confirm the issue is also on windows from both firefox and chrome (latest) browsers.

Something might have changed in firefox (update?) and now files with .sh and .py extension refuse to get uploaded as a testing script.
For all the souls with same issue, just rename the script to .txt and upload it.

To Canonical: Please consider removing frontend validation of content-type and filename since "name" attribude in metadata overrides and is the relevant factor and you are going to execute the script anyway.

Oh and ... is this ever going to get fixed on maas 2.7.3 please ?

Hi Igor, the mime-type validation has been removed and will be included in the next 2.7.x release (not sure when that will be).
