The image lesson is the first lesson that asks you to do two things:
- like the image Discobot sends you
- reply with an image
If you just reply with an image, Discobot says:
> Looks like you didn’t upload an image
even though the image is fine, and it’s just that you need to like the message. Probably it should either not require you to do two things in response to one message, or be clearer that you _have_ to like it, or just actually tell you that you need to like it if you reply without having done so.
(Someone else already reported this [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discobot-tutorial-bug-images-lesson-doesnt-work/97726), but apparently it’s not reproducible – initially, I dragged the image Discobot sends you into the reply box; once I failed it once, I copied the link Discobot sends you, and both times I just got “Looks like you didn’t upload an image”, not anything about needing to like the message.)

Can you repro this @jomaxro?

Yep, can repro. If you upload an image but don’t like the post, you get the “no image found” error, instead of the expected “why didn’t you like my post?”

Hmm how did this regress @tgxworld, maybe take a look when you are fully back

@jomaxro Can you provide me with the exact steps that you took?
I tested on both try and meta which gave me the correct behavior.

Definitely no repro on try @jomaxro …
.. if you are somehow getting this to happen, it is subtle. We are gonna need literal click by click and touch by touch instructions.

Interesting, my testing was on try too, so 🤷♂️? I’ll see if I can repro it again, and note the steps more specifically.

Repro’d it again. What I did was dragged and dropped the picture of the unicorn from discobot’s post, which caused the “you didn’t upload a picture” error.
I can confirm that uploading an image from local (I tested via drag and drop) works as expected, and I see the “did you forget to ❤ my post” reply.

This .. this .. has never been a supported behavior..
You haven’t actually added an image in that case. When we say “drag and drop” we mean drag _from the desktop_ and drop.

Except the error text that you get implies oneboxing will work. (emphasis mine)

True, does that one not work? If so that’s a bigger bug.

It didn’t work after I failed with the unicorn picture. I can try again by pasting that first, before I drag and drop the unicorn. One sec…

Can confirm that pasting the link explicitly mentioned by discobot fails too.

OK so looks like that’s the regression @tgxworld – it should detect that as an image.

Ahh I see what the problem is here. When a link to an image is given, it gets converted into a onebox. Any images that are present within a onebox are not counted as an image as far as our post analyzer is concerned. I guess we can be more lax with the rules for discobot such that any image tag in the cooked post is considered to be a valid image?

Sounds good to me, let’s make it so!

Thank you for reporting @anon80167013 and thanks to @jomaxro for figuring out the reproduction steps 🙂
