Apps Manager UI displays an extra "v" to the buildpack information for java buildpack

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs

Issue/Introduction

When viewing the configurations of a java buildpack based application from the Settings tab view in the Apps Manager UI, an extra "v" gets displayed when the buildpack information is rendered. For example:


This issue is a usability bug and will not have a critical impact on user applications. It happens because the apps manager renders the buildpack info in a <p> tag on the Settings tab view by obtaining information about the buildpack from the droplet.

This issue cannot be seen with binary, staticfile, ruby, and nodejs buildpack based applications. Custom java buildpacks created on top of the java community buildpack will show the same behavior with an extra "v" displayed in the apps manager UI.

Environment

Product Version: 2.8
OS: Linux

Resolution

Since this is a minor usability bug, the apps manager engineering team has created a tracker story to address this and plans to implement a fix within the next couple of months. Please create a support case to inquire about the ETA for the fix implementation or if you need immediate assistance with this issue.
