Yeah, I learned this the hard way during the alpha. Kind of sad that it is still a problem. Hope they build in a method to fix that.
Thankfully it's the only broken feature discovered in testing, hopefully it will be fixed.
Hi everyone! I'm Renee, the Product Quality Manager over here at AetherStore. @Breffni-Potter, thanks for all your testing and interest in AetherStore! Just a quick comment about what happens when you delete Stores when some machines are offline: You are correct that you will observe the smoothest behavior if you delete the Store while all machines are offline. However, if you delete the Store while some machines are offline, the behavior you are seeing isn’t actually a bug.
In the case when some machines are offline , you will see in the “Delete Store” pop-up that the machines that are still online are successfully deleted. The machines that are offline return a failure—this is expected, because the Dashboard cannot communicate with them, so there is no way they could delete the Store. For example, in the screenshot below x86-win8-1 could not be deleted because it was offline, but the other nodes were removed successfully:
If at this point, you turned on x86-win8-1, waited a few minutes, and clicked “Try Again”, it would successfully remove the Store altogether. However, if you click “Done” before turning on the missing machine and instead return to the “Manage Existing Store” page, the Store is gone, because the Dashboard can’t communicate with any machines in the Store and thinks it has deleted it. Then, if the machines that were offline come back online, the Dashboard will re-discover the Store, but if you go to the “Store Summary” page for that Store, you will notice that only the machines that failed originally are still included in the Store. The machines that were successfully deleted remain deleted. At this point, you can delete the Store again from the “Manage Existing Store” page, and observe that the last remaining machine(s) are successfully deleted, as below:
Uninstalling and reinstalling on the machines that were offline when the Store was originally deleted should not be necessary.
This is quite a lengthy reply, but I hope it clarifies things! Let me know if you have any questions!
