Cannot post with high probability

ekfacile opened this issue · 2 comments

Version: 1.7.3

How to reproduce

  1. Write the text as usual and press the post button.
  2. The posted content will disappear from the text box. However, My posts don't appear on my home timeline. No error dialog is displayed either.
  3. Press the reload button.
  4. Posts still don't appear on my home timeline. No matter how many times I press the reload button, the result is the same.
  5. Log in to the official web version for confirmation.
  6. Even if you check the official website version, you can confirm that it has not been posted.
  7. Check the Fedistar log file.
  8. No errors are recorded in the log file.

There was no strange behavior like this until v1.7.2.

Apparently there was a problem with mastodon.social. I checked on the official web version that it had been posted for some reason 8 minutes later.

Feature Request

In the unlikely event that post data cannot be retrieved due to a server-side failure, would it be possible to display a dialog that mentions the possibility that the post may have failed?

This is completely an issue on mastodon.social side. Fedistar already shows an error when a post fails.

toast.push(alert('error', formatMessage({ id: 'alert.failed_post' })), { placement: 'topStart' })
