Inline edit causes redraw hang

ralfeus

Hi all,
I have a DataTable with Editor and use inline edit to update one field. The datatable is defined as following:

    g_purchase_orders_table = $('#purchase_orders').DataTable({
        dom: 'lrBtip',
        ajax: {
            url: '/api/v1/admin/purchase/order',
            error: xhr => { modal('No purchase orders', xhr.responseText) },
            dataSrc: 'data'
        },
        rowId: 'id',
    ...
    $('#purchase_orders').on( 'click', 'td.editable', function (e) {
        g_edit_editor.inline(this, { submitOnBlur: true});
    });

The editor is defined as following:

    g_edit_editor  = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
        ajax: {
            url: '/api/v1/admin/purchase/order/_id_',
            contentType: 'application/json',
            data: d => JSON.stringify(Object.entries(d.data)[0][1]),
            error: (xhr, _e, _a) => {
                modal("Purchase Order update failure", xhr.responseText);
            }
        },
    ...

The problem is that after the update of the field in the table the table is redrawn and "Processing" banner remains there forever. In the network debugger I saw 2 HTTP requests:
- POST for the record update. It ends with HTTP 200 status and the data looks like this:

{
  "data": [ { object } ]
}

• GET for the table redraw. It ends with HTTP 200 status and the data looks like this:

{
  "data": [ 
    { object },
    { object },
    { object },
    ...
  ]
}

If I set editor with drawType: 'none', the problem is gone. But the record isn't then redrawn and fnCreatedCell function isn't called.

g_edit_editor.inline(this, { submitOnBlur: true, drawType: 'none'});

What could it be?

GET for the table redraw

You don't have serverSide enabled and there is nothing else in the code above to cause a reload, so that shouldn't be happening. There is something else going on here that I'm not sure about it.

Could you give me a link to your page so I can debug and trace it please?

Thanks,
Allan

Hi @allan ,
thank you for the response.
Unfortunately I have no public instance yet so I can't show it.

You don't have serverSide enabled

Should it be enabled in inline initializer? I have it enabled in DataTable definition. I thought it's only place it belongs
