ill see if i can reproduce this with a similar layout as yours. When you view source on the home page and search for 'data-source=' do you see an array of your graphs?

something like

<input class="search-query" style="height: 25px;" name="dashboard" type="text" placeholder=" Dashboard..." data-provide="typeahead" data-items="10" data-source='["machines/server01", "machines/server02",  "machines/server03".....etc.

from gdash.

I do not see the array.

<form id="form-search" name="dashboards" style="margin: 0;" class="form-search" method="get" action="/search">
                      <div class="input-append">
                      <input class="span2 search-query" name="dashboard" type="text" placeholder="Dashboard..." data-provide="typeahead" data-items="10" data-source='node_templates/node exampledashboards/Platform-admin on qa1web101dashboards/Platform-admin on qa2web101dashboards/Platform-admin on qa3web101dashboards/Platform-admin on qa4web101' autocomplete="off" />

Hmm so it's missing the '[]' and ','. I am guessing it has something to do with the whitespace. I probably won't be able to reproduce this till later this week.

from gdash.

I have not gotten around to this but noticed that the node_template is the default files. could you try deleting or moving them out of the graph_templates directory?

from gdash.

I removed the files from node_templates directory but that did not change the search results.

I do not know ruby. In sinatra_app.rb the search elements are created by appending category and name. Do I need to provide some parameter in my graph/dashboard configuration for these to be set.

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated..

I was about to give up because i was not able to reproduce but i just discovered that it is a Ruby version issue. Ruby 1.9 and above outputs Array.to_s method differently than 1.8.7. Examples below:

1.8.7

~$ irb1.8
irb(main):001:0> arr = []
=> []
irb(main):002:0> arr << 'a'
=> ["a"]
irb(main):003:0> arr << 'b'
=> ["a", "b"]
irb(main):004:0> arr << 'c'
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):005:0> arr
=> ["a", "b", "c"]
irb(main):006:0> arr.to_s
=> "abc"

1.9.3

1.9.3p448 :001 > arr = []
 => []
1.9.3p448 :002 > arr << 'a'
 => ["a"]
1.9.3p448 :003 > arr << 'b'
 => ["a", "b"]
1.9.3p448 :004 > arr << 'c'
 => ["a", "b", "c"]
1.9.3p448 :005 > arr
 => ["a", "b", "c"]
1.9.3p448 :006 > arr.to_s
 => "[\"a\", \"b\", \"c\"]"

Ill come up with a fix shortly but you can try using ruby 1.9.3 or 2.0.0 to verify.

from gdash.

I believe calling .inspect rather than .to_s on an array object will do the trick but ill leave it up to the maintainers wether or not they want to add this in or just not support ruby 1.8.7 since I believe it is now deprecated.

from gdash.

I moved to ruby 1.9.3 as suggested and this is resolved. Thank you!
