[ Workers for Platforms ] Newly created namespaced worker not visible in Dashboard
When I try to view the worker in the dashboard following the dashboard links I get a 404 and error messages at the bottom of the screen. Am I missing some special sauce? It looks like a bug, but maybe I'm missing something?

It looks like it's in your namespace in the second screenshot. Did you upload the dispatcher to the namespace?
Yes,
Yeah so that's why the showing doesn't work, we expect that to not be in the namespace haha
🤔 I'm confused. Why is there a link in the dashboard if we're not expected to follow it?
How does one view the worker in the dashboard?
I'm saying, the dispatcher is not really meant to be in the namespace, it can be but usually you wouldn't want it there. If it wasn't uploaded to the namespace, you could view it fine
Our dash assumes it's not in the namespace.
ah, okay, got it. Do keep the dispather outside of the namespace. That makes sense. I've been creating and deleting workers to try to troubleshoot the 404. The particular worker is not important at the moment, although I do appreciate your tip there.
I'm mostly concerned now with why I can't view the workers created in the namespace
In the dashboard I mean
you can view them, you can click on them
Click the name here
Is the screen recording visible for you?
Assuming you mean the staging-dispatcher bit, yes, again, that's because it's in the namespace
If you deploy that outside the namespace, it'll show fine
Is it not possible to view a namespaced worker in the dashboard I just showed? If not, why is there a link for it?
you viewed the custoner one, that's how you can view them. The specific dispatcher link doesn't work due to it being in the namespace - this is a bug but not fully expected so also not surprising
Some feedback for the product team. The case of using Workers for Platforms as advertised, it makes sense to not show the full dashboard view. However, there are other ways they may be used. For example, I'd like to use the dispatch feature to create a system where I create all the workers myself (via automation) but I want to route customer traffic via the dispatchers. In this case, I would like to be able to view any worker I create with all the same features as regular workers.
What Worker can't you view :p
I've told you that the very specific link you're clicking for dispatcher does not work for a very specific reason of it being in the namespace which isn't really expected. Deploy the dispatcher outside the namespace and that'll work fine (also what i'd recommend generally)
You can view all Workers though, you clicked on a namespaced Worker in the previous video - it works
did you not see the error messages and the 404?
I've told you a few times now why that happens and how to fix it
it's a bug sure but it's not really intended to be done that way which is why it's a thing. You'd want to deploy the dispatcher outside the namespace
but you can still view the dispatcher inside the namespace, just click the worker name in the table instead of at the side panel
We've covered this ground
I want to see the workers from the namespace with all the same views/info as workers outside of a namespace. Is that comprehendable?
Different request than what you've been talking about but heard, something that we've discussed before and I believe is planned but no ETA
It's not a different request, read the thread again. I've been trying to view a named-spaced worker like the non-namedspaced workers. You got stuck on the fact it was a dispatcher.
So weird man
