"Whoops there was an error." when trying to delete attachments.

DoyceTDoyceT Model Questioner ✭✭✭

Hi all,

Running 2.1.3 stable, version Version 1.8.2.1 of FileUpload (the one with Peregrine fixes), I'm getting the above error message when trying to delete files. I can open and/or download the attachments just fine.

I've gone digging through the forums for similar problems from other users, but haven't found anything yet.

  • maybe its the changes you made to change the name? does it work properly without your extra modifications that you made.

    Nope. That doesn't seem to have any effect. It knows what the file is called, the delete just... fails. Kind of odd.

    do you have a file called blank.php in the fileupload views folder ? I ask because this is what the class.fileupload.plugin.php has for deletion..

    if ($Media) {
             $Delete['Media'] = $Media;
             $UserID = GetValue('UserID', Gdn::Session());
             if (GetValue('InsertUserID', $Media, NULL) == $UserID || Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission($Permission, TRUE, 'Category', $PermissionCategoryID)) {
                $this->MediaModel()->Delete($Media, TRUE);
                $Delete['Status'] = 'success';
             } else {
                throw PermissionException();
             }
          } else {
             throw NotFoundException('Media');
          }
    
          $Sender->SetJSON('Delete', $Delete);
          $Sender->Render($this->GetView('blank.php'));
       }

    I do have a blank.php file in the FileUpload/Views folder. It is, predictably, blank. :)

    Try changing the $Sender->Render line to $Sender->RenderData();.

    EDIT - Also, does enabling debugging show an error message?

    I'll have to enable it over the weekend, when it's quieter. Turing on debug during classes generates dozens of panicked emails.

    For some reason, this is hilarious to me.

    It isn't really funny, but I am laughing at the thought.

    Good on you for thinking ahead.

    Sorry, I'm being particularly dense about this one. Are you saying to switch this:

    $Sender->Render($this->GetView('blank.php'));
    

    to this?

    $Sender->RenderData();
    
  • DoyceTDoyceT Model Questioner ✭✭✭

    Actually, there are quite a few instances of $Sender->Render throughout the file - do you mean I should only change the one @vrijvlinder‌ mentioned?

  • hgtonighthgtonight ∞ · New Moderator

    Just the one in question.

    Thanks!

    Doesn't seem to have any effect, unfortunately.

    Is it possible that the "build filename" change I made over here - http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/214712/#Comment_214712 - is breaking something? I doesn't seem like it should...

    it seems there may be a problem in 2.1.3 of vanilla with fileupload 1.8.2.1 as far as deleting an upload, after comment or discussion is saved.

    FATAL ERROR IN: Gdn_Controller.DeliveryType();

    Attempted to set invalid DeliveryType value (JSON)."

    LOCATION: /var/www/vanilla/library/core/class.controller.php
    

    714: if (defined('DELIVERY_TYPE_'.$Default)) {
    715: $this->_DeliveryType = $Default;
    716: }
    717: else {

    718: throw new Exception(sprintf(T('Attempted to set invalid DeliveryType value (%s).'), $Default));

    I'll see if I can track it down if no one else finds how to solve it.

    I'm fairly certain it used to delete properly in vanilla 2.1

    However, it appears there have been a few changes in 2.1.3 - that may be related to problem now.

    not sure at the moment how to resolve it via the plugin though. If I do find a solution, I'll post it, if I don't post a solution, its because I don't have one.

    I need some help here. from others. @Doycet -- sorry I don't understand the concept with the whitelist, etc.

    if I set Default to "ALL" - then the file will get deleted. but I don't know the intent or where to set the call to DeliveryType to "ALL" before it gets to the function.

    its as if DeliveryMethod and DeliveryType are mixed up.

     public function DeliveryType($Default = '') {
        //  Test setting $Default to "ALL"
         if($Default == "JSON" )  $Default = "ALL";
          if ($Default) {
             // Make sure we only set a defined delivery type.
             // Use constants' name pattern instead of a strict whitelist for forwards-compatibility.
             if (defined('DELIVERY_TYPE_'.$Default)) {
                $this->_DeliveryType = $Default;
             }
             else {
                throw new Exception(sprintf(T('Attempted to set invalid DeliveryType value (%s).'), $Default));
             }
          }
    
          return $this->_DeliveryType;
       }
    

    perhaps x00, Linc, or Hg will know.

    If I have no other use, at least I'm a semi-reliable landmine locator - by which I mean I'm glad I might have found a bug?

    @‌peregrine It's the ajax request, that tries to set an invalid DeliveryType

    edit js/fileupload.js line 120:

           deliveryType: 'VIEW',
    

    Not sure if View is exactly right, but at least it's not invalid

    I believe versions prior to 2.1.2 (2.1.3) did not throw a fatal error on invalid DeliveryTypes.

    thx. yes it was the commit 24 days ago that changed things.

    they changed it here as well

    https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/a69fa4048bd299d3248f0ff2897cde5e0ea93065/applications/dashboard/js/addons.js#L39

    https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/commit/a69fa4048bd299d3248f0ff2897cde5e0ea93065

    and bingo changing it to VIEW from JSON works.

    yes you can sniff them out. nice find relating to bug in Fileuploads 1.8.2.1 plugin in 2.1.3 (that was not an issue in 2.1

    I'll put a note in the other discussion.
