Description

I saw this in the following browsers:

Google Chrome 36.0.1985.125 m
Firefox ESR 24.2

I debugged this in my browser to a problem in main.js handling the case when the archiva_login cookie is not set (and so $.cookie('archiva_login') is not defined). In that case, Archiva is trying to parse an undefined value and failing. This causes getUserFromLogicCookie (and startArchivaApplication(...) to terminate abnormally. As a result, the Loading div never gets hidden.

I've created a patch which fixes the issue for me.

Patch is for apps\archiva\js\archiva\main.js
