Triage note (automated)

I reviewed the source code and identified two separate issues here:

1. Favorites star spinning indefinitely

In app/Domain/Projects/Templates/partials/projectCard.blade.php, the favorite button uses:

• onclick="jQuery(this).addClass('go')" — adds a spinner animation class
• hx-swap="none" — tells htmx not to replace any DOM content
• hx-target="#projectBox-..." — targets the card but swap is disabled

The backend toggleFavorite() method (in ProjectCard.php) works correctly and fires an HTMX.updateProjectList event. However, since hx-swap="none" prevents DOM replacement, the go class (spinner) is never removed. The card only refreshes if something is listening for the HTMX.updateProjectList event — if the Project Hub page doesn't have that listener wired up, the star just spins forever while the favorite state is actually toggled in the database.

This is a real UI bug. The fix should either:

• Change hx-swap to replace the card content (so the spinner is removed and the star state updates), or
• Add an htmx:afterRequest handler to remove the go class

2. 404 errors on projectCardProgress/getProgress

Your console shows 404 on /hx/projects/projectCardProgress/getProgress?pId=.... The route and controller exist in the codebase, so this shouldn't 404 under normal conditions. A few things to check on your end:

1. Version: You're on 3.7.1 — is this the actual installed version? The ProjectCardProgress Hxcontroller exists on master, but if your deployment is missing files or is a partial update, the route could be unresolvable.
2. Reverse proxy / LEAN_APP_DIR: If your reverse proxy or LEAN_APP_DIR config strips or rewrites the /hx/ prefix, the Hxcontroller route won't match. Check that your proxy passes /hx/ paths through unchanged.
3. Can you access https://projects.compumatter.biz/hx/projects/projectCardProgress/getProgress?pId=97 directly in a browser? If it returns 404 even on direct access, the issue is in the routing layer (not htmx).

The progress bar 404s are separate from the favorites bug — those 404s are from the lazy-loaded progress bars that fire on page load, not from clicking the star.

Priority: Medium — The favorites toggle is a legitimate UI bug. The 404s need environment verification first.

[compumatter]

I do get a 404 when I go to that URL directly

https://projects.compumatter.biz/hx/projects/projectCardProgress/getProgress?pId=97

[marcelfolaron]

Thanks for confirming, @compumatter. Since you get a 404 on direct access to that URL, the issue is in the routing layer — not browser-side htmx.

A few things to check on your side:

1. Apache/Nginx rewrite rules: The /hx/ prefix routes to Leantime's Hxcontroller system. If your web server config isn't passing these paths through to index.php, they'll 404. Check that your rewrite rules cover all paths (not just specific patterns).

2. .htaccess integrity: If you're on Apache, verify that the .htaccess file in your webroot is intact and matches the one from the 3.7.1 release. A partial update or overwrite could break URL rewriting for /hx/ paths.

3. LEAN_APP_DIR / APP_URL: If you have LEAN_APP_DIR or APP_URL set in your .env, make sure they match your actual deployment path. A mismatch can cause the router to fail on specific prefixes.

4. Test another Hxcontroller route: Try accessing https://projects.compumatter.biz/hx/projects/projectCard/toggleFavorite in your browser. If that also 404s, the issue is with all /hx/ routes — not just the progress endpoint.

The favorites star spinning bug (separate from the 404) has a fix PR at #3364.

[compumatter]

Yes. After logging in I manually visited this url https://projects.compumatter.biz/hx/projects/projectCard/toggleFavorite and it was also a 404

So this is 'both' a progress endpoint and the PR at #3364 or wait on the latter ?
