Calling POST on /posts.json returns null

Are you 100% sure this is returning nothing?

When I posted this post I got:

And we are explicit about returning stuff here:

app/controllers/posts_controller.rb

84a10f821


      
          memoized_payload = DistributedMemoizer.memoize(signature_for(@manager_params), 120) do
            result = manager.perform
            MultiJson.dump(serialize_data(result, NewPostResultSerializer, root: false))
          end
          
          parsed_payload = JSON.parse(memoized_payload)
          backwards_compatible_json(parsed_payload, parsed_payload['success'])

There may be some edge case though if your post hits the queue, but I am pretty sure it should return a payload.
