Search results sometimes show the wrong contextual path, or no path at all

[akhenry]

Summary

When displaying a list of search results, the results sometimes have the wrong contextual path displayed below each result, or the path is completely absent. This may relate to #5439

Expected vs Current Behavior

Each search result should include the contextual path to the object.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Import the attached JSON file
2. Search for "Timer"
3. Observe that Timer A and Timer B are shown as suggested search results, but both context paths shown are incorrect

Environment

• Open MCT Version: 0f0a3dc
• Deployment Type: VIPER Test, local dev

Impact Check List

• Data loss or misrepresented data?
• Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• Is there a workaround available?
• Does this impact a critical component?
• Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• Does this have an impact on Performance?

replicated - looking into it.

Steps to Reproduce
Use search to look for something that returns a number of results in a location that is clearly different from your current location.
Note that the paths displayed for results may be the path to your current view's location, not the location of the result item.

Verified Testathon 8/2/22 for objects that are a part of the tree.

Might be unrelated to this issue, but there are a whole bunch of objects that do not have any sort of path and don't appear in the tree as well. Are they being stored elsewhere?

[akhenry]

@rukmini-bose Suspect those objects were "deleted" and are unreachable from the root object. ie. they're orphaned objects.

We will look at better handling for deleted objects in Build 7, however we could just ignore any objects without an original path for now? @scottbell Thoughts?

[scottbell]

@akhenry @rukmini-bose Yeah, that should be pretty straightforward to do!

[unlikelyzero]

Will fix based on @rukmini-bose 's finding in #3823

[scottbell]

@akhenry @rukmini-bose Yeah, that should be pretty straightforward to do!

I have a fix in:
#5599
to filter objects (and tags that point to objects) that don't have an originalPath

Created an object. Searched, it was there. Deleted it. Searched, it was no longer there.

Verified Testathon 8/9/22:

Created an object. Was able to find it in the search. Tried switching focused path a few times and searching again, it still shows the correct path. Focused folders which were outside of 'My Items' folder and tested again, still shows the correct path. Deleted the object, and it no longer was able to be found via search.
