Cannot reproduce unspecified error

[Adam Howard]

At least that is what I think it said when I saved a post. I've seen it a few times, it happens very quickly.

This is happening on XenForo.com

^^ In the above screen shot. You know how it says, "Your changes have been saved". Same box, but will randomly read "unspecified error"

I'd need to see network tab and the actual response data to do any debugging on this. "Unspecified error" really just means no message was returned, though I don't see why that would happen.

This has happened to me too, and I've only ran into it once.

 

[Mike]

Does it redirect as expected?

Nope, just stays on the page. I've made a bug report about this before, but was unable to reproduce it again ever since.

@Mike It happens so rarely I think it has only happen 3 - 4x so far (in a months time). So I'm not surprised @tyteen4a03 almost never sees it.

@Mike this post, just now

I was correcting a small typing error (changed the word even to ever) and upon save, got that error.

He'll need a network trace to properly debug this.

A network trace? You mean a trace route?

 

[Jeremy]

No, from your browsers' Network tab.

I'm trying to figure out how I would generate that and submit that in Firefox.

 

[Jeremy]

Firebug.

Firebug.

So, wait... How am I going to get this as it happens? I'm not going to be browsing with firebug open all the time.

Open Firebug immediately after you see the error.

Open Firebug immediately after you see the error.

That's not how Firebug works though. I'll have to refresh the page in order for it to show me anything in network.

 

[Jeremy]

Then keep firebug open and as small as possible until it happens.

And will a screen shot do? Because I do not know if there is away to export that data.

(I'm seriously not trying to make this into a big deal. I just do not understand why you want the network read out. )

 

[Jeremy]

Network read out includes things such as data submitted, URL and response. That data is extremely useful.

 

[Mike]

I need the network read out because I need to see the exact URL, the response code, and what was returned by the server (and possibly the data that was sent). It's unlikely that any errors are being logged, so the data generally appears to "fit", but I need to see exactly what's going on to possibly have any idea where to start. (Just to make it clear, you'll need to expand the correct network connection and possibly screenshot a few tabs of it.)

Note that you can probably have Firebug on but minimized. I believe it should still record things.
