Unable to add package to newly created recipe in Cockpit mode about cockpit-composer

The Error fetching metadata comes from getMetadataComponent():

    const p = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      Promise.all([
        this.getData(constants.get_projects_info + component.name),
        this.getData(constants.get_modules_info + component.name),
      ]).then((data) => {
        if ((data[0].projects.length === 0) || (data[1].modules.length === 0)) {
          console.log(`Error fetching metadata for ${component.name}`);
          return;
        }

In this case, projects/info works:

❱❱❱ curl http://localhost:4000/api/v0/projects/info/389-ds-base
{"projects":[{"name":"389-ds-base","summary":"389 Directory Server (base)","description":"389 Directory Server is an LDAPv3 compliant server.

but modules/info doesn't for most packages:

❱❱❱ curl http://localhost:4000/api/v0/modules/info/389-ds-base

❱❱❱ curl http://localhost:4000/api/v0/modules/info/a2ps

❱❱❱ curl http://localhost:4000/api/v0/modules/info/koji
{"modules":[{"name":"koji","summary":"Build system tools","description":"Koji is a system for building and tracking RPMS.  The base package\ncontains shared libraries and the command-line interface.","homepage":"https://pagure.io/koji/","upstream_vcs":"UPSTREAM_VCS","dependencies":[]}]}

This might be an issue with the imported metadata.db, but how can it be dependent on whether this is running standalone or through cockpit?

When trying to add koji, that actually does work.

It seems the integration tests don't even cover this at all? The closest one I can find is test/end-to-end/test/test_recipes.js "should show the correct dependence packages and total numbers of dependencies"; it does that for xz and whois, but with our standard metadata.db I cannot add these manually as the package list gets cut off at page 14 (at letter 'S').

This now seems to work after landing @jkozol 's saving rework.
