Opening the tree view against a real Argo CD showed a pane reading permission denied in both its sections:

╭─ Application ─────────────╮
│ permission denied         │
│ EVENTS                    │
│ permission denied         │

It reads like an RBAC problem. It is not. The pane auto-opens as the tree view is entered, before ResourceTreeLoadedMsg has told the tree which app it is showing — so SelectedNodeApp() returns "", and argonaut asks for GET /api/v1/applications/ with no name. Argo CD answers 403 permission denied, and that string goes straight to the pane. Debug log from the repro:

ERRO http error url=https://localhost:8080/api/v1/applications/ status=403
ERRO Failed to get application component=sync-status app=""

Both fetch paths now ask paneCanFetch() first: paneFetchCmds (auto-open and e) and paneRefreshCmds (the scheduled refresh). The loading flags stay set on the skip, so the refresh armed beside it retries once the tree names the app.

The mock e2e suite never caught this because the mock answers 200 for /applications/; only a real server rejects it.

Found while writing the horizontal e2e (#281), which is also where the fix was verified.

Correction to an earlier version of this description: it claimed one guard in paneFetchCmds covered every path. It did not — paneRefreshCmds builds its loads separately and was still unguarded, which mattered because that refresh is the retry the skip depends on. Caught in review; both paths now share paneCanFetch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented unnecessary event fetches when the selected application is not yet known.
    • Preserved the loading state so event data automatically retries once the application becomes available.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for empty and populated application selections.
    • Verified that loading indicators remain active while waiting to retry.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

paneCanFetch now blocks events pane fetch and refresh requests until an application name is available. New tests cover unnamed targets, named targets, and preserved loading flags.

Changes

Events fetch guard

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fetch guard and validation
cmd/app/events_pane.go, cmd/app/events_pane_empty_app_test.go
paneCanFetch guards initial fetch and refresh commands. Unnamed targets return no command while loading flags remain set. Tests confirm that named targets still fetch.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8e4f4

When the tree opens before its application is known, the pane can remain stuck loading instead of retrying after the application is identified, leaving its sections unavailable until another action occurs. The loaded-tree path should trigger the fetch before this PR is merge-ready.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the guard to scheduled refreshes.

paneRefreshCmds at Lines 90-99 still creates loadSyncStatus and loadEvents directly from st.Target. It does not use paneFetchCmds. Therefore, a scheduled refresh can still issue an unscoped request when AppName is empty. Move the check into the refresh path or route both paths through one guarded helper. Add a regression test for refreshes with an unnamed target.

Update the paneRefreshCmds comment.

The comment says details always load, but the new early return skips both details and events when the application name is empty. Document the fetchability guard.

Proposed comment update
-// paneRefreshCmds returns the background refetches for the open pane:
-// details always, events unless the target cannot have any.
+// paneRefreshCmds returns background refetches for the open pane.
+// It returns nil until the target has a named application.
+// It refreshes details and, unless the target has a notice, events.

Retry an already-open pane after ResourceTreeLoadedMsg.

When Events.Target.AppName is empty, the handler leaves the pane unchanged and does not call paneFetchCmds. Each refresh only reschedules while loading, so the pane remains loading indefinitely. Set the target app and namespace from the loaded tree, then return fetch commands. Add a test for the pre-tree-open case.
