After updating to Discourse 2.4.4, dachary encountered a blank homepage with 429 errors in Firefox and Chromium. Initially, this seemed like a regression in rate limiting, similar to a previous issue. However, dachary discovered that the actual cause was a compatibility issue with the discourse-locations plugin, specifically the latest commit targeting the beta release. The error was due to a missing I18n module. dachary plans to report the bug to the plugin’s issue tracker.
Hi,
I updated to the latest stable 2.4.4 and b20ba9ee11b5098b9c39cd46e9f462d14ac6ce60 at GitHub - discourse/discourse_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub today using ./launcher rebuild app on the host.
The admin/upgrade page displays fine but the home page is blank. Looking at the network logs in the browser I see a 429 error which suggests there may be a regression in the handling of rate limiting, similar to what happened last month.
Or maybe it is just me ?
Looking at the console it turns out the 2.4.4 update broke GitHub - merefield/discourse-locations: Tools for handling locations in Discourse · GitHub and the 429 error is just because only one error per minute is allowed.
Error: Could not find module
I18nimported fromdiscourse/plugins/discourse-locations/discourse/lib/location-utilities
Is caused by the latest commit in the discourse-locations repository. It probably is targeting beta using a module not available in stable.
I will report the bug in the issue tracker of the plugin, where it belongs.
