Infinity api call due to importing of wrong file

[PurnenduMIshra129th]

Description:

In the manage - > workspace -> import -> import new file -> import file type select as slacks user csv -> then upload a pdf which is wrong and it is giving error but in the network section of browser you can see the endpoint (api/v1/getImportFileData) is calling unlimited time.

api response is like this -

{"waiting":true,"success":true}

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to manage
2. Click on workspace
3. Go to Import
4. Click on Import new File button
5. Select import file type as slacks user csv
6. Select File type as upload
7. Select a pdf file
8. Then click on import
9. Open the network tab
10. You can see getImportFileData is calling again and again

Expected behavior:

If a user is selecting a wrong file it should prevent it and only one time getImportFileData api should call .

Actual behavior:

After user is selecting a wrong file it is preventing the file but network request is making again and again.
