Site is refreshing after resizing or dragging event

[tyler-dane]

Where did this happen?

Production app, Local code with an up-to-date main branch

Expected Behavior

Resizing or dragging an event shouldn't trigger a page refresh

Current Behavior

Full page refresh happens sporadically after resizing or dragging an existing event

output2.mov

Notice how the page refreshes automatically after I simply click the event after dragging it.

UI
The UI automatically refreshes as part of the error handling for our custom 601 error, so it's hard to show how this looks beyond the above video.

You can disable that refreshing if you'd like to see the state of the UI before the refresh happens

Backend
This is what you'll see in the backend logs

DB
If you look in the mongo DB, you'll see the event is missing a user property

Steps to Reproduce

1. create new event
2. drag/resize it
3. continue until the page is refreshed
4. view the logs and you'll see the following backend error:

app:error.handler: {"result":"Prompt Redux refresh","description":"Invalid event id (most likely)","statusCode":601,"isOperational":true}

Possible Solution

This is caused by the request event payload missing the user value. This user is used by the backend in event.queries:updateEvent() to identify the event to update.

Because the user value is missing, the event isn't found, which triggers the backend to throw the following error

 throw error(EventError.NoMatchingEvent, "Prompt Redux refresh");

The frontend obliges, by refreshing the entire page in an attempt to resync the redux store. (In fact, this isn't necessary, as the Redux store likely wasn't the problem)

Context

This is a very intrusive interruption that waste's a user's time and makes them have less confidence in the app.

@that-one-arab can you pick this up?

[that-one-arab]

Yup leave it to me.

@tyler-dane although I didn't see a reproduction video and the steps leave room for misinterpretation, can you please record a reproduction video or add more details to reproduce steps?

[tyler-dane]

@that-one-arab I don't have a video handy, but added a few more details

Hi,
I’m trying to contribute, and the documentation says I need a Google Cloud account to get OAuth credentials. However, when I try to create an account, it requires a credit card, which I don’t have. Is there any other solution to contribute, or is this the only way?

[that-one-arab]

Hey @omarNaifer12 thank you for your efforts! Usually it charges your credit card and refunds it immediately, I believe it is to prevent misuse on Google's end of things.

Moved this from In Progress to the backlog, as @that-one-arab mentioned how he was unable to reproduce the bug.

I'll keep an eye out for this and try to capture more details if it keeps happening on my end

Reproduced, added video, and moved this back to Ready
