In the title, "''' are still converted in " ›"

AI-generated summary

A user, CamilleRoux, encountered an issue where triple quotes ('') are converted to › in their Discourse title. gerhard explained that the fix was not backported to the beta branch and provided an upgrade solution. After upgrading, a rake task topics:update_fancy_titles was suggested to fix the titles.

However, running the rake task introduced the bug to all post titles on CamilleRoux’s forum, even old ones. gerhard asked if the task was run after upgrading, and suggested retrying. CamilleRoux retried, but the issue persisted.

Manually editing titles or rebaking did not resolve the issue. gerhard suggested rebuilding the container and rerunning the rake task. CamilleRoux found that manually executing the rake task’s logic worked, and will attempt rebuilding to resolve the issue.

Hi,

I followed the answer here but still get the problem:

I updated Discourse using /admin/upgrade#/and with a git pull then a rebuild. Did I miss something?

Thanks

That’s because we didn’t backport the fix to the beta branch. I just did. Please upgrade one more time.

After upgrading, either manually edit the title of affected topics or run the following rake task to fix the titles:

rake topics:update_fancy_titles

OK, the update worked. When I create or edit a post, everything is OK.

But…

The rake task added the bug on ALL the post title of my forum (even the very old) :frowning:

Did you run the rake task after upgrading Discourse? I’m not sure how the rake task could use the defective logic if it has been removed by the upgrade. :thinking: Maybe try again?

5

I’m note sure of waiting the end of the update… :grimacing:
I retried, nothing change.
Can I do a rebake?

6

It shouldn’t hurt. Not sure if it helps much in this case though and I have no idea why the rake task doesn’t work for you. It works in my dev environment.

7

hum, that’s weird. If I edit the title manually (add a space at the end + save), it works.
The rebake is running, I’ll keep you up to date.

Rebake changed nothing :frowning:
Do I have to come back to a previous backup and try again. Somebody has another idea?

Before you do that, please try rebuilding the container one more time and rerun the rake task. I just tried it on a test site of mine and the rake task worked fine there as well.

If I do what the task do manually, it works also :

[9] pry(main)> t.fancy_title
=> "Entrepreneur : comment gérer les moments d ›incertitude?"
[10] pry(main)> t.fancy_title = nil
=> nil
[11] pry(main)> t.fancy_title
=> "Entrepreneur : comment gérer les moments d’incertitude?"

I try rebuilding and tell you if it works
