[Solved] Composer does not clear after submitting a reply.
-
Running 0.4.3 master. I believe the problem was introduced when I upgraded to master to solve some plugin issues (see here). Pretty basic install (on Ubuntu, using redis) without much customization (except for the imgur plugin and dbsearch plugin - I'm using the bootstrap template).
When I reply to a post, sometimes the reply appears in the thread but my composer window stays active with the response still present and I must discard it (and confirm the discard) to clear the window.
Doesn't break the application, but it's a little annoying. I've confirmed that this happens to other users with other browsers. It does not happen every time and instead seems to be somewhat random, usually only happening after I've replied to a few different items.

Yeah, I'll try to update as I can. I'm running it through a proxy (IIS/ARR) and I found a couple 502 errors in my Chrome console, so I'm wondering if that might be related. I was able to load the URLs it was complaining about 502s on, so it could be IIS misbehaving.
I have access to the direct forum since it's self-hosted, so I will try running it that way and report back if I find it is still having the issue without the proxy in the middle.

Okay, so I thought this might have been a problem with my IIS proxy, because Chrome's console was reporting 502 (bad gateway) errors, but I was connecting directly to the local IP and the same issue came up. The screenshot shows the console while connecting through the local network.
Configuration details:
Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 running on a VM (VMware Workstation 9)
nodejs v0.10.25
NodeBB 0.4.3 master
The rest of the stack is whatever was installed by following the directions here: https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/ubuntu.htmlI have added the imgur plugin (nodebb-plugin-imgur) and the dbsearch plugin (nodebb-plugin-dbsearch) and the local emailer plugin (nodebb-plugin-emailer-local). Everything else is a pretty much stock install of NodeBB. I run this through a proxy usually, but in this case I am circumventing the proxy and directly accessing the Ubuntu server by it's local IP. NodeBB was started with sudo ./nodebb -start (too lazy to worry about the proper permissions for port 80 right now).
I still can't cause it to happen. It seems to recur more often once it's happened once (and closing the browser and opening a new session seems to clear it up for a while) but I haven't found any rhyme or reason to it. And clicking the links listed in the console results in correctly loading items, usually something like:
OOSHD_6bdZFPLw2_Uok7:60:60:websocket,xhr-polling,jsonp-polling,flashsocket
Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide.

@julian can confirm this bug, it happened to me today a few times, (I've been downloading about 50GB worth of stuff onto my new PC and not sure if it's that that caused it, will see with this reply.
Edit: it didn't happen, but I will try when I'm maxing my net out again, as it could be linked.

@julian said:
Could it be that your server is crashing? When you try accessing those links, the server may be back up.
Try running your server in development mode (
./nodebb dev) and see if you can trigger it again.It could be, but the log is clean. I'll run it in development mode for a while and see.

So it does seem that something is causing the NodeBB service to restart. I created a test thread with lots of markdown and submitted a bunch of replies to myself and then started doing some quoted replies and I noticed the NodeBB service repeating the info and warnings it gives when it first starts up.
Whatever happened before then was quickly scrolled off the screen, and I don't know where I might find any logs to see the problem.

@a_5mith I was, but I'm not the most proficient linux user so I hadn't figured out how to scroll back in the log. Now that I have, this seems to be the error:
error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'uniqueId' of null

Further detail:
The composer window is locked open, but pressing discard will remove it. I can toggle the display with the thread button (bottom right corner) but I cannot submit the reply (probably because it was already submitted).
If I click the reply buttons in the thread while the composer is open, it does not clear the existing composer window and the submit button is still unavailable.
If I quote an existing reply, it updates the text of the composer with the quoted post, but submit button is still unavailable.
Pressing discard results in the [OK/Cancel] modal popup, and confirming on that popup does clear the composer.
