It's been 10 years since I first launched GuitarForum.co.za. The official birthday is the 15th of October. But why wait till then for awesomeness? Here it...

V8 Nope that was definitely different. This was a SQL index issue. So the post never got inserted. What you guys experienced was that the post got inserted but something else caused an error message, making it look like the post never got inserted.

That's a logic flaw in Flarum. Essentially, their code is saying: If there's any error at all during the posting process, then return an error. (So even a notification email not being sent for a reply, constitutes an error.)

Hopefully they'll fix that in the next major release.

Ahhhh, okay - makes sense - it's like a error handling catch all?

NorioDS

V8 Pretty much, yeah.

domhatch i try to log off and receive essentially the same message.

Thanks @domhatch! Any chance you can get me a screenshot or a video of that.

To do a video is super easy. Just use UseLoom.com right in your browser.

Here's a quick one I did right now, showing you how to record your screen super-fast:

NorioDS ok, will give it a bash, have loom installed.

NorioDS hey there. so, murphy intervened. my logout (perfectly recorded by useloom which is a smashing tool by the way, big ups for the linkup!), went off without a hitch.

i have a feeling the error message i receive comes along when i've been idle in here for a while and then try to log out. i'll try to recreate that situation and post the recording if i receive the error message.

hope i'm not wasting yer time

Hmmm good theory. I've had that happen before with Laravel where the CSRF token expires if I leave a form open and then try use it later. Could very well be what's happening.

I'd appreciate if you could replicate the issue and confirm if that's what's happening. It'll be something I'll pass on to the Flarum dev team to fix. I think they're releasing a new beta in a month or 3.

NorioDS hey man. ok, completely forgot i was logged in, probably a good hour at least. here's a link to the vid: https://www.useloom.com/share/1ff26eb59a164a7a8173c7d9a8035a5d

hope this helps

domhatch Thanks! This was helpful.

I checked the logs and the issue lies somewhere between a "RouteNotFound" exception and a "PermissionDeniedException".

I can't fix it but I think I can offer a workaround until this is fixed.

When you log in, click "Remember Me". That should keep your session alive long enough that when you try log out, it works.

Will you try that over the next few days and let me know if it works? If it does, I'll update the first post with the details of the issue + workaround.

Thanks!

domhatch

NorioDS no worries. i do use the 'remember me option at login, it's no major inconvenience for me, i just thought it would be something you'd want to know about. :-)

cheers mate, and it's no biggie on my list, the rest of everything is working so splendidly!

domhatch cheers mate, and it's no biggie on my list, the rest of everything is working so splendidly!

Super glad to hear that! ?

domhatch i do use the 'remember me option at login

Hmmm then my next workaround suggestion is to try reloading the tab before logging out. But, yeah, if it's not a biggie then hang in there. I'm sure there'll be a fix coming from the Flarum team in the next 2-3 months. ?

NorioDS

domhatch Quick update, I've logged the bug with Flarum, both on GitHub and on their forums:

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4496-500-error-after-no-activity/4

domhatch

NorioDS ok, never mind. just double-checked. please don't take a hamer (see what i did there- guitar pun.) to me head, but i didn't have the remember me box ticked. have it done now and will let you know again tomorrow if i encounter the same issue
