[Solved] Composer does not clear after submitting a reply.

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.

@Shaun Run the forum in ./nodebb dev and leave the Terminal window open, when it crashes, it will show you the full output, not just from when you went to nodebb log.

@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:

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.

Seems to be happening every time I submit a quoted reply right now. Same error, same line numbers.

Quoting seems to work for me here. :s

@Shaun try updating to https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/62681c36efa2a07f6319cd19c8f0806ff82c71c0 and see what happens.

if notif is deleted don't push, prevent crash

[Shaun]

@baris I can probably figure it out, but would you care to supply the specific commands to pull that down from git so that I can't screw it up?

[baris]

If you are on the master branch just a git pull should be enough to get the latest.

[Shaun]

Haven't seen it happen since the pull.
