Periodic request to /location?company_id

[christocracy]

Testing bg-console-staging, I notice every few seconds the map gets cleared.

Observing the network tab, there's a request to /locations with an html response -- that should be JSON.

<div class="locations-scroll">
	<table class="locations-table">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th>UUID</th>
				<th>Recorded</th>
				<th>Coordinate</th>
				<th>Accuracy</th>
				<th>Speed</th>
				<th>Event</th>
				<th>Moving</th>
				<th>Activity</th>
				<th>Battery</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
		
			<tr>
				<td colspan="9" class="empty-row">No locations recorded for this selection yet.</td>
			</tr>
		
		</tbody>
	</table>
	<div hx-swap-oob="outerHTML:#location-stats">
		
<div class="panel-heading" id="location-stats">
	<p>0 recent locations · updates every 10s</p>
</div>

	</div>
	<script type="application/json" id="map-data" hx-swap-oob="outerHTML:#map-data">[]</script>
</div>

There is plenty of room for improvement here. I think the machine is dumb yes. You select company token and device. Locations exist. Some things in play:

• logic to say when was the last data recorded? 10 seconds ago, 10 minutes ago, 10 days ago

So what should be presented to logging in fresh? Now seems to be consensus. But the map did go back in time on initial load and grab latest points, and graph them. But doing nothing else, 10 seconds later, redrew as if there is no data to graph.

So this is a question of what even is recent data? I noticed this only on the live heroku, not my localhost, but yes, 10 seconds into now, and the list goes to zero after initially loading with March 16, as if that latest data is useless. That is not desirable. I get that, and will see about fixing that!

The message after 10 seconds was there are no locations for the current selection, to me that is the drop down, and since the drop down is not initialized to anything, it says what is new in the list, and the list is stale, and not current, so it empties the list and returns nothing... so I will fix that.

What's presented at login? The last state of all filters or today if no filter state.

Looks like a default filter value of nothing. So when I adjust the interface to remove the select element and replace it with buttons, that problem should be taken care of. A default will be present, likely makes sense to just show off the latest data, whatever that means. A discrete chunk of time-related points I suppose. Sift through the data, and extract the last walk for example, based on timestamps.

You've closed the issue but the problem is still occurring on staging.

After refreshing the page, 10s later the map is cleared after this request occurs:

Closed not because I released a fix, closed simply because I am aware of it, and the fix is going to be bundled into a lot of other points of interest, so this individual thread has become blended with the a future release that will address it. But fine. I can re-open and close this issue once the upcoming release takes care of it and I will make note of the fix in a future to be determined post.
