Summary: Issues when creating an instance of XWiki 16.10.7 on Windows
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-89d1c27c-4319-45bf-b4fc-21ffb14ebd69 Bug
Affects Versions: 16.10.7
Assignee: Unassigned
Attachments: Buttons_and_Panels_not_properly_shown.png, Errors_in_JS_console.png, Failed_to_retrieve_extension_data_errors.png, Other_apps_displayed_as_Flavors_Tomcat.png
Components: Distribution
Created: 12/May/25 13:02
Environment: Windows 11 Pro, Edge 136, using an instance of XWiki 16.10.7 on PostgreSQL 17, Tomcat 9.0.104
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-blocker-9c5e6cf9-6efd-4588-bfdf-8e52f6cd40da Blocker
Reporter: Ilie Andriuta
Description:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start an XWiki 16.10.7 (Jetty/ HSQLDB) on Windows (tested on Windows 11 Pro)
  2. Observe the elements displayed on the page
  3. Create an instance of XWiki 16.10.7 with Tomcat on Windows (tested with Tomcat 9.0.104)
  4. Observe the flavors displayed at the beginning of the Distribution Wizard
  5. Follow the Distribution Wizard to the end

Expected results

When starting XWiki 16.10.7 (Jetty/ HSQLDB), all page elements are displayed properly (buttons, drawer, entries on panels, etc)

As well, when creating a Tomcat instance, only the Standard Flavor of XWiki 16.10.7 is displayed and the DW's workflow can be followed through "Install" or "Continue" buttons, without any errors.

Actual results

When starting XWiki 16.10.7 (Jetty/ HSQLDB), some page elements are not displayed properly of even displayed at all, with lots of errors in JS console (screenshot attached).

Also, when when creating a Tomcat instance, some other things are displayed as flavors (like Color Themes Application 7.4.6-struts2-1, Extended Group API 1.0, etc), please see the attached screenshots.

The workflow buttons "Install" and "Continue" are not advancing the DW, instead, an error:

Failed to retrieve extension data. Server not responding

is displayed at every click on these buttons (but sometimes the DW is advanced after a page refresh).

No errors in the logs.

The issue seems to not be reproducing when using the docker image (tried with 16.10.7-mariadb-tomcat.
