All products not shown in Product Finder when authoring

[geertsmichael]

Expected Behaviour

When editing a page in Touch UI, the "content finder" should show all products. This is remaining empty:

When editing a page in Touch UI, the "content finder" option to "filter path" on Products, only navigates on /etc/commerce and not /var/commerce:

Actual Behaviour

When editing a page in Touch UI, the "content finder" doesn't show all products. if searching for "hoodie" it will show products. But we expect like "assets", to see a set of products.
When editing a page in Touch UI, the "content finder" the "Enter path" option should show /var/commerce as well.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Open a page of the Venia site (archetype 0.6.2) & open the "Products" panel. No products are shown.

Platform and Version

AEM 6.4.5
CIF Connector 0.7.1
CIF Core Component 0.6.0

How does this issue is related to #85 ? In #85 looks like you could drag & drop but that requires products are loading in the content finder?

Correct after searching. Just opening the product finder doesn’t show products. After searching it does.
Other issue , I can’t limit my search in 1 catalog only. As I cannot select a /var/commerce folder.

That is something we plan for one of the next releases. Config will be more streamlined and pickers will respect the catalog, storeview etc. which are assigned to a side.

After testing again on a clean instance, I am seeing products even without filtering.
Could this be related because we also have products in /etc/commerce/products?

[mhaack]

This might be. Above you wrote you run AEM 6.4.5 which actually should not have anything in /etc/commerce/products ??? Should be /var/commerce/products?
But nevertheless, I recommend not mixing old/classic products in JCR with CIF.

@geertsmichael I checked again in the commerce-core-bundle and if there is a /etc/commerce/products folder, all the commerce components related to products path will always open this path. You should really have either /etc/commerce/products or /var/commerce/products but not both. The new location is /var/commerce/products.

Now while your issue is caused by having products in /etc/commerce/products, we also found out that there is still a bug in the asset picker that makes it use /etc/commerce/products. We are currently working on this to understand how this problem appeared.
