Error checker not finding errors unless you load pages/reuseables… then it magically finds errors
Error checker finds errors when trying to push to live. Then we I click to view an error all the other errors in the list disappear. I try to republish and the errors return. I had to repeat this process 15 times yesterday to force bubble to find the errors and add them back into the list.
Copy and paste not working. Yep. Doesn’t work. Can’t copy and paste anything. Tried right click, tried keyboard shortcut - neither work. Seems to have issues randomly, sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. I can’t find the fault where it breaks.
Merging changes from branches. I did a merge changes from a branch a few days ago then deleted the branch. Then I checked to see the changes in the main branch and all the branch changes were missing! Something happened in the merge process which caused the merge to revert back after it happened. I freaked but luckily I could recover most of the changes from another branch that I had synced.
Groups now adding as 140x140px and fit to width. Extremely frustrating and adds annoying time to development. This looks to be a change bubble made a few days ago but I can’t see any meaning for it. Why not just give us a preset size in the style manager that each account can change lol?
Search tool not finding field references in states or reuseable properties or even consistently in pages and reuseable elements… Which leads me to delete the field since the search returns no references, then weeks later I find references for the deleted field and logic that is broken… FRUSTRATING.
I’m sure there’s more issues that aren’t coming to mind right this second. It seems like bubble is just full of bugs and issues and it’s gone from an app I love using to one I really hate.
Just wanted to note that this particular issue is known and expected behavior. As noted in the docs…
I certainly agree that it’s annoying though - so much so that I created a utility which automatically visits each page and reusable of my site. I always run it before a major deploy. It can take a minute or more depending on the number of pages/REs, but at least I don’t have to do the monkey work.
Today I noticed another issue - elements not showing when searching for them.
ie: I want to reference a repeating group to count the rows, but when I search for the element name it doesn’t show. (and yes, it is visible to the thing doing the search - I am aware that nested elements have restrictred visibility)
I’ve had this issue on and off for months as well. The only thing that sort of fixes it is a page refresh and then wait…
I’m putting my bugs in the forum since submitting bugs to bubble seems to result in no changes. I’ve submitted dozens of bugs over the last year that have never been resolved and never even answered. I’m hoping that by publicly calling out these issues on the forum that bubble support will actually see that it isn’t just my user with the issues and ignore the bugs like they seem to have been doing.
I’m sure there are a lot of bugs to fix in a system as complex as bubble, but some of these bugs I’ve reported recently are core functionalities that are breaking so they should take top priority - definitely priority over releasing new AI features! No point having AI enabled features when the core features break constantly.
Was just about to make a bug post titled “Bugs Bugs Bugs” but thought I’d have a quick look first to see what others have been experiencing.
I’m having issues adding dates to date fields (timezones rendering incorrectly) and a lot of make changes actions say they’ve happened in the logs, but no such changes were made.
Here’s a log entry I found of one, which I’ve sent to bubble in a bug report, but have been thrown from advisor to advisor for the last week as they are apparently overwhelmed with bug reports:
Have you checked if privacy rules are preventing you from making edits? I’ve had it happen a long time ago and it was because of privacy rules but I never checked the logs.
I would love for this to be the case haha, but don’t think so since it works intermittently, causes issues when it doesn’t. Had to dig pretty deep to find an example, but the logs saying the action happened without issue was the final nail in the “I can’t do anything further on my own” coffin.
Bubble seem to have deployed a UI/UX update in the last week or two that has broken a lot of things. I’m seeing weird minor bugs across the board that didn’t exist prior, so am assuming the level of complaints they’re currently having and my other issues go hand in hand with that too.
Without additional context or detail, it’s impossible to double check this or provide meaningful feedback. Are you aware of of the new timezone handling that Bubble introduced about a year ago? The timezone override controls can be found under Settings → General → Advanced (all the way at the bottom).
If you’re scheduling an API workflow on a list, I wonder if you might be encountering a race condition, similar to what’s described in this forum post.
Thanks for the response, but I wasn’t necessarily looking for answers, just throwing more kindling onto the “fix this platform” pile.
RE handling dates, yes I’m aware of timezone controls, the issue actually stems from those exact controls and bubble support weren’t able to immediately fix it. A create thing action with a date field is tagging on an additional hour to entries for BST. When running the exact same logic to provide only a text output, the date is rendered correctly (and I’ve been using identical logic historically with no issues). I think I could probably fix the date issue via API creation but it’s annoying having to do so, and I’ve left it as is so they can debug accurately.
RE the second error, this is a simple “make changes to list” action. Bubble sees the correctly defined constraints, finds the right entries, attempts to action changes, posts a log saying changes were actioned successfully. There’s not a fix for that, if make changes actions say they work but don’t do anything, something is wrong at the source.
I see, but there’s a chance it might not actually be broken. If you’d like assistance with the timezone issue, feel free to start a new thread and share some screenshots. I’d be glad to take a look.
