Repetitive Notification Issue with follow plugin?

[SJack]

Hi everyone

Previous notifications come back as notifications after a certain period of time. What could be the porblem?

Do you have any plugins installed?

[SJack]

Yes. We installed before ‘follow plugin’.

Follow Plugin had this kind of issue. Did you update it?

@merefield idk if you’ve encountered this, but after installing the version with the optional notifications, my forum’s users started having problems with old notifications repeating. They do register that you’ve clicked them at first, but then after a while, those same notifications come back and this cycle then repeats endlessly. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times now using both the traditional method and using the ProCourse plugin installer, and it only occurs when this plugin is in…

And the fix:

Follow Plugin

OK I found a bug that caused some PostAlert jobs to fail, causing perpetual retries and I believe the observed user experience of intermittent spam. That probably caused notifications to pop up with every retry. I could see dozens of attempts for each failed post notification in Production. The problem was, some work was getting done anyway but the Job was getting marked as failed. https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-follow/commit/d20a90663465d13ecab1c338206bc115fbb3181f Please upgrade…
