Edited default badge names not taking effect after page reload

jonathon reports an issue where edited default badge names are not persisting as user titles after a page reload. They edited the badge names in /admin/customize/site_texts, enabled them as titles in /admin/badges, and applied them to a user’s profile. However, the changes revert to the original after a page refresh.

Despite trying various troubleshooting steps, including updating Discourse and rebuilding the Docker container, the issue persists. joffreyjaffeux has acknowledged the issue and later confirmed that it has been fixed in a recent commit.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or something I’ve missed, but…

Discourse info

Version v1.9.0.beta17 +101
Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
Docker CE 17.12 (overlayfs2)
Bytemark Cloud VPS

What I did

  1. Navigated to /admin/customize/site_texts, then edited the following items:

    • badges.basic.name from “Basic” to “Forum Newbie”
    • badges.member.name from “Member” to “Forum Member”
    • badges.regular.name from “Regular” to “Forum Regular”
    • badges.leader.name from “Leader” to “Forum Leader”

  2. Navigated to /admin/badges, checked updated badge names:

    (screenshot removed due to new user limit on images per post…)

    Then selected each in turn to enable “Allow badge to be used as a title”

  3. Navigate to a users’ profile, edit their Title and select the re-named badge:

    user-title
    user-title1469×355 16.1 KB

    After saving, the new title is initially displayed correctly, but after a page refresh (e.g. F5) it reverts to the original. Clicking again to edit their Title returns me to a blank selection box.

What I’ve tried to make it stick

  • Updated Discourse via /admin/upgrade
  • Stopped Docker, wiped /var/lib/docker/*, started Docker, rebuilt container from scratch (IIRC with the 20171224 base image):
    systemctl stop docker
rm -fr /var/lib/docker/*
systemctl start docker
/var/discourse/launcher rebuild app

What I expect

Edited badge names to display as user Titles.

What actually happens

Edited badge names use their default values when used as a user Title.

Just for completeness, here’s the missing screenshot. It doesn’t add very much but it looks kind of pretty:

Should be fixed by:

Thanks for reporting it. There was actually multiple broken things.
