Reactions plugin causing "Something went wrong" error when confirming emoji

I and a number of other users of my Discourse forum have encountered a bug with the Reactions plugin.

Environment

We’re running 2.8.0.beta10 ( 07c010422b )

Steps to Reproduce

It’s unpredictable and seems to happen across browsers, mobile/desktop view, and other variables. But here’s how it happens when it happens:

  1. Go to a forum reply.
  2. Hover over the Reactions heart icon.
  3. Select a reaction (e.g., hug or heart emoji).
  4. A dialogue box pop ups with an error, “Something went wrong.”

Thanks for letting us know, @JoelZaslofsky!

For v.2.8.0.beta10, I incorrectly pinned the plugin to a commit that relies on a Discourse core change that it’s only available on beta11. Here’s a fix:

Please rebuild your site to fetch the correct plugin commit, and let us know if you see this error again.
