[$100] Attached file is not shown immediately when creating a post

[maxceem]

When I create a post and attach a file the file is not shown after I click Post and post is created. I have to reload the page and after I can see the file I've attached to the post. See demo video: https://monosnap.com/file/9B2cbyBzlLc7oQYE0rmDHZcofUdIaU

@vikasrohit should we include it to the CF?

[vikasrohit]

Yes, please and thanks for catching this.

[maxceem]

This issue is now open for pickup.

@maxceem I investigated a lot with efforts and actually it is not a frontend issue but a backend issue as attachements array is coming blank in reducer

CREATE_PROJECT_FEED_COMMENT_SUCCESS

hence it is not displayed first time.

and when we reload the page, then in LOAD_PROJECT_FEEDS_SUCCESS has that same object of post filled with attachements property.hence we are able to see attachements.

2. coming back to CREATE_PROJECT_FEED_COMMENT, it makes a post call, response of which shall contain attachements property filled, but it is blank hence that is cause of it.

Need some time and extra efforts to solve this and PR need to be raised on backend.

Thank you @PrakashDurlabhji for putting efforts into it, great finding.

@vikasrohit There is an issue with the message service:

• when we create a post with attachments:

  

  It returns a response of a newly created post without attachments:

  

• technically we can still fix the issue client-side as we know the ids of attachments we send to the server, se we can use them, even server doesn't return them back. But it's a hacky way and prone to inconsistency between client and server.

• Just would like to confirm, that fixing this issue on the server is the desired way to go.

[vikasrohit]

Yes, go with the server side fix.
