#24836 closed defect (bug) (wontfix)

WordPress database setup error does not preserve input with "try again" when no-js

Description

When setting up Wordpress and entering the database credentials and the setup communicates an error condition back it offers as well a "Try again" button.

Pressing that button does *not* try again. It offers the input form with all user-entered values deleted.

Instead of deleting those values, the previous user-entered data should be given after pressing that "Try again" button.

  • Component changed from Administration to Upgrade/Install
  • Keywords reporter-feedback added; ux-feedback removed

Could not reproduce.

The button onclick event is history.go(-1), so clicking the button is the same as clicking browser's Back button: tags/3.5.2/wp-admin/setup-config.php#L169​.

Were you testing with JavaScript or browser cache disabled, perhaps?

Obviously no client-side ECMA scripting enabled, yes.

Screenshots were taken while reproducing the issue for the report.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

I also could not reproduce using exact same steps. It shows original inputs after hitting 'Try Again'

  • Milestone set to Awaiting Review
  • Resolution invalid deleted
  • Status changed from closed to reopened
  • Summary changed from Wordpress database setup error does not preserve input with "try again" to WordPress database setup error does not preserve input with "try again" when no-js
  • Version changed from 3.5.2 to 3.4

It shows original inputs after hitting 'Try Again'

And that's the bug hakre mentions here.

The back button was introduced in[20661].

I do think this is a invalid/wontfix issue. At the least, a now-duplicate of #24982

Initial bug is that, It doesn't try again, it offers the form pre-filled again.

It's browser's that control if the form is re-filled, the Try Again button is the same as the back button, Some clients will re-fill the content, some will clear it (may depend on HTTPS, and other factors).

This bug is specific to "when no-js". WONTFIX.
