Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/446

I'm unable to delete (empty) folders in the web vault. Clicking on the delete button does nothing at all, no message in console and no requests to the server.

I manually need to delete them from the folders table in the SQLite database and restart the server to get rid of unused folders. Renaming works though.

Is there a way to debug this properly? Logging is enabled, but no logfile is ever being created.

I'm running bitwarden_rs from the docker image; registration is disabled, websockets are disabled.

Tried browsers:

Waterfox
Vivaldi Browser

I just tried deleting a newly created empty folder and it works for me. Can you reproduce this from a new user? The steps I followed are: create folder from the plus icon in the left sidebar, select folder from the same sidebar, click pencil icon and then the trashcan in the popup.

If you don't get anything in the browser's console and no request is made, I'm not sure how to debug it otherwise.

I still couldn't delete any folders, and now I also can't delete the newly created test user within an organization. I managed to get something in the browser log. Maybe my reverse proxy is not configured probably. I also checked my firewall rules and there seems to be a major f*ckup blocking the container network.

I disabled the firewall, but still got the same error in both browsers.

EDIT: I will play around a bit with the log levels to see if I can get something useful out of it.

EDIT2: When I click the user delete or folder delete button, I get this in the log file:

[2019-03-27 05:18:32][rocket::rocket][INFO] POST /notifications/hub/negotiate text/plain; charset=UTF-8:
[2019-03-27 05:18:32][_][INFO] Matched: POST /notifications/hub/negotiate (negotiate)
[2019-03-27 05:18:32][_][INFO] Outcome: Success
[2019-03-27 05:18:32][_][INFO] Response succeeded.

But nothing happens.

Sorry for all the spam, but I now figured out the problem and it seems it is completely client side in my 2 browsers. I tried another clean browser without any hacks and extensions installed and everything works there, so something blocks either JavaScript events, WebSockets or DOM events; I don't know. I will figure this out by myself what is causing the client vault not to work correctly.

I guess you can mark this issue as invalid 😄

Try to disable websocket if you have it enabled. (WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=false) If your proxy isn't configured properly, but the client thinks that it should use websocket, it tends to misbehave in weird ways.

I have websockets disabled already. Than my only other guess could be the reverse proxy. I'm using Caddy server with the transparent setting.

It's not that kind of a hassle, when it works with the 3rd browser. It's not like I need to regularly delete folders 😄 All other parts of the web vault works in the other two browsers.

EDIT: I tried different things in my caddy proxy, but waterfox and vivaldi just continue to use websockets, while Qt Web Engine just works.

Can you share your config maybe? Redact the secret parts. Is it similar to this one?

This is my Caddy config file with websockets disabled:

mydomain {
    tls myemail

    proxy / http://172.18.92.5:80 {
        transparent
    }
}

I changed the config to the link you gave me and enabled websockets again in the container. The websocket is working in every browser. But I still can't delete folders, except in Qt Web Engine. The popup window just doesn't seem to load.

What I noticed though now, with websockets enabled. The deleted folder instantly syncs to the other browsers and disappear there.

This is kinda long stretch, but do the folders contain any special characters? Also did you try to disable all browser addons?

The name doesn't matter, fails with Unicode and ASCII equally. It indeed works without extensions, which I figured already that some extension is blocking something somewhere.

I have all kinds of security related extensions installed and one of them may act way too paranoid on the web vault.

I had this issue today and found that the deletion modal is being blocked by one of my uBlock Origin lists.

To fix this, whitelist your bitwarden_rs vault address or add your own filter to uBO:

[your-bitwardenrs-address]#@#.swal-overlay--show-modal.swal-overlay

I think this was resolved thanks to @XelNika suggestion, I'm going to close this, but feel free to reopen if there's still some issue regarding this.
