      Description

      I have observed a potential bug on the nuxeo-select component.

       

      Here is the behavior:

       

      In a screen that contains 2 nuxeo-selects, the options of the first nuxeo-select are a list of fixed values.

      The options of the second nuxeo-select are initialized based on the value of the first nuxeo-select.

       

      The first time a value is selected in the first nuxeo-select, the options of the second nuxeo-select are retrieved using a Nuxeo operation and are stored in an array that serves as a cache.

      If a value that has already been selected previously in the first nuxeo-select is selected, the values of the cache array are used to populate the options of the second nuxeo-select.

       

      Overall, the system works well, when I choose a value in the first nuxeo-select, the options of the second are initialized accordingly and the first option is selected in the widget.

       

      The problematic behavior occurs when you select twice in a row in the first nuxeo-select an option for which the list of options of the second nuxeo-select contains a single value:

      1. Choose a value in the first nuxeo-select that implies a unique option in the second

      2. choose another value in the first nuxeo-select that also implies a unique option in the second

      => the second nuxeo select displays the placeholder instead of the first (and unique) option.

      => the first (and unique) option is well assigned to the "selected" attribute of the second nuxeo-select, only the display is problematic.

      => if we unfold the second nuxeo-select, we can see the value but it doesn't change anything to click on it (probably because technically it is already selected)

       

      Additional informations:

      • this behavior occurs systematically, whether the options are already in the cache array or not
      • all options are displayed correctly if there were at least 2 options in the previous values
      • there are no cases where the options are empty in my use case

       

       

      Here is an example scenario

       

      The values of the options are:

      • TeamB (Nuxeo)

          - Nuxeo Support B

      • Billy's Team (Billy's Account)

          - Demo Project

          - Nuxeo Addon

      • TeamA (Nuxeo)

          - Nuxeo Support A

      • Demo (Nuxeo)

          - Nuxeo Demo

      • Nuxeo Dev (Nuxeo)

          - Demo Project

          - Dev

          - NHartman Test Edit

      • OCDM (OCDM)

          - Nuxeo connector

          - OCDM project 2

       

      1. selection of "Billy's Team" (2 sub-options) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays "Demo Project" : [OK]

      2. selection of "TeamA" (1 sub-option) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays "Nuxeo Support A" : [OK]

      3. selection of "Demo" (1 sub-option) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays the placeholder : [KO !]

      3. selection of "OCDM" (3 sub-options) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays "Nuxeo connector" : [OK]

      4. re-selection of "Demo" (1 sub-option) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays "Nuxeo Demo" : [OK]

      5. re-selection of "TeamA" (1 sub-option) in the 1st nuxeo-select

      => 2nd nuxeo-select displays the placeholder : [KO !]
