@nvazquez , do we know why the behaviour has changed and this patch is needed?

[weizhouapache]

code lgtm, not tested

I face this issue too

[nvazquez]

Hi @DaanHoogland I don't think it an issue but I raised it as an improvement to preserve the usual template selection from previous versions (I realized when tried to deploy a VM and it complained that no template was selected). It may probably got changed with the guest OS selection refactor on the deploy VM view

Yes @nvazquez , it is an obvious annoyance, I was just wondering what we overlooked that caused this regression.

I think it is caused by one of the recent changes with DeployVM.vue

[DaanHoogland]

code looks good @nvazquez
I see in QA that the template selected does not adhere to the os choosen, is this intended?

I am presuming this has nothing to do with this PR btw

[nvazquez]

Thanks @DaanHoogland I'll double check this

[nvazquez]

Hi @DaanHoogland the QA server is on 4.20.0 and doesn't have the needed tables/columns for the new Guest OS selection filtering on the Deploy VM view. Can you please test on a main branch env?

same question remains @nvazquez :

The template selected does not adhere to the os chosen, is this intended?

[shwstppr]

@nvazquez I think it will be better if preselect the first template just after the API response. Somewhere in fetchImages or fetchAllTemplates in DeployVm/DeployVnf/CreateAutoscaleGroup, etc
Otherwise, this is okay too if works fine.

[nvazquez]

@DaanHoogland it looks intended as it hasn't changed - this PR just selects the first template from the list of templates. I've checked on the current main that changing the guest OS acts as filtering but does not select any template:

Maybe this could be discussed separately? Anyways I don't think that is an issue, I think the guest OS is just a filter but should not change the selected template. cc @shwstppr

@shwstppr thanks I will try exploring that solution

sure @nvazquez , sound like a separate issue.
