๐ Bug Report: Intermittent item save/sync failure when image upload and save occur close together
Summary:
Occasionally, when creating or editing items in the Square Dashboard, the item fails to fully save or sync to Square Online. It seems to happen when an image is uploaded and the Save button is clicked within a few seconds โ possibly before the upload finishes.
Behavior:
The failure is intermittent and cannot be reproduced consistently. However, when it happens, the item will either:
-
Fail to save, or
-
Show validation errors such as:
Fix these issues to make this item visible online: - Add rulesEngine.fieldsWithArticle.id - Invalid image url:
The image preview often appears, but the backend seems to flag the URL or image ID as invalid.
Expected behavior:
-
Saving should wait until the image upload has fully completed, or the UI should prevent saving until upload completion.
-
Items should always save and sync normally without manual re-entry.
Actual behavior:
-
Occasionally, the item save operation runs before the image upload is finalized.
-
The resulting item gets stuck or fails to appear online until manually re-edited and re-saved.
Suspected cause:
A race condition or timing issue between the image upload process and item save action. When the Save button is clicked mid-upload, the system appears to proceed before the image data is registered, causing invalid references (image_url, rulesEngine.fieldsWithArticle.id, etc.).
