Issue Loading Sub-Items in Employees, Attendance, and Leaves Modules (Local Deployment)

Description of the Issue

When accessing the Employees, Attendance, and Leaves modules on a local deployment, users may encounter issues loading sub-item menus. The content within these menus fails to load, and the "About Me" section is also inaccessible. This problem is often accompanied by either a 500 Internal Server Error or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) errors.

500 Internal Server Error

A 500 Internal Server Error is a generic error message that indicates a problem with the server. This error can occur due to various reasons such as server overload, incorrect configuration, or bugs in the application code. In the context of a local deployment, a 500 Internal Server Error may be caused by issues with the application's configuration, database connection, or server settings.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Errors

CORS errors occur when a web application running at one origin (domain, protocol, or port) attempts to access resources from a server at a different origin. This is a security feature implemented in web browsers to prevent malicious scripts from making unauthorized requests on behalf of the user. In the context of a local deployment, CORS errors may be caused by issues with the application's URL, configuration, or server settings.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

To troubleshoot the issue, the following steps have been taken:

  • Running a Local Deployment: The application is being run on a local deployment, which can sometimes cause issues due to differences in server settings, configuration, or database connections.
  • Adding Flutter Application's URL to CORS and CSRF Configurations: The Flutter application's URL has been added to both CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS and CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS in the configuration. This is a common solution to resolve CORS errors, but it may not be sufficient to resolve the issue in this case.

Request for Assistance

Given the troubleshooting steps taken, the issue still persists. Therefore, it is requested that additional steps be taken to resolve the issue and successfully run the application locally.

Possible Solutions

To resolve the issue, the following possible solutions can be explored:

1. Check Application Configuration

The application configuration may be causing the issue. Check the configuration files for any errors or inconsistencies. Ensure that the correct database connection is being used and that the server settings are correct.

2. Verify Server Settings

The server settings may be causing the issue. Check the server settings to ensure that they are correct and that the application is configured to run on the local deployment.

3. Check Database Connection

The database connection may be causing the issue. Check the database connection to ensure that it is correct and that the application is able to connect to the database.

4. Use a Different Browser

Try using a different browser to access the application. This can help determine if the issue is browser-specific or not.

5. Check for CORS Errors

Check for CORS errors by using the browser's developer tools. This can help determine if the issue is caused by CORS errors or not.

6. Use a Proxy Server

Use a proxy server to bypass CORS errors. This can help determine if the issue is caused by CORS errors or not.

7. Check for Server-Side Errors

Check for server-side errors by checking the server logs. This can help determine if the issue is caused by server-side errors or not.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the issue of loading sub-items in the Employees, Attendance, and Leaves modules on a local deployment is a complex issue that requires a thorough investigation. The possible solutions outlined above can be explored to resolve the issue and successfully run the application locally.
