Description
Hi there,
I just updated to 4.8 on a bunch of sites and in one site I accidentally clicked the "Update"-button multiple times. What then happened, was a rather weird experience: After the update of the plugins successfully completed, it did another run where all updates apparently failed.
I tried this on multiple 4.8-installs, all has the same behaviour, so I guess it's fairly easy to reproduce. I've also recorded a video:
http://d.pr/v/qmoc7E/5MFtrVpY.mp4
Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade to 4.8.
- Go to "Plugins" » "Updates available" (you need at least a plugin that has updates ready for it)
- Select all update-ready plugins.
- Click the "Update"-button. Then click it again.
- Observe the table of plugins :-)
Kind regards,
Morten

Because the Apply button is a submit input and not an anchor like in the other case, the solution will be a bit different. It seems that it will need the disabled property added somewhere in the click event in wp-admin/js/updates.js
starting at line 1999, and then removed once the queue is finished working, but it's not obvious to me at the moment, it's my first time looking at this code.

For some weird reason ( just in case it was working for you ) @MarcGuay s code was not disabling the button at all on my installation.
Either way I placed the code a little differently on ( 40966.3.diff ). It will disable the Apply button only in case of 'update-selected' and re-enable it either way whenever there's a notice. I think it's safer this way and at least it works for my installation.

Please don't set disabled
on focused elements because this will trigger a focus loss when using a keyboard. ideally, to avoid double clicks, the button should just no-op. /cc @swissspidy

Changed the diff into 40966.4.diff to fix the issues that @afercia mentioned.
Hopefully this will pass. I already did my tests but more tests are always welcome.

Few notes:
- Network admin for themes is probably affected too
- The first patches don't work because of a11y rasons
- 40966.4.diff is too broad.
$('.updating-message')
could be anything
What we really need is a way to disallow a specific theme/plugin that has already been updated.
The bulk action handler bails early if an item doesn't have the update
class (like, when a plugin doesn't have an update). In theory this be used to fix this bug here. However, wp.updates.updatePlugin
doesn't remove that update
class after a successful update.
40966.5.diff fixes that by removing update
with updating
during the process.

I just tried your patch @swissspidy and I'm still able to hit the Apply button resulting in plugins update failed.
I thought the idea was to not being able to re-send the update command by 'disabling' the Apply button so we don't get update errors. That's why by reading if the 'updating-message' exists somewhere in the page which is a class added only when something is currently being updated the button is just doing nothing. The 'updating-message' is also binded and checked only if you have the 'update' selected from your list and I haven't seen any other lists containing the 'update-selected' option but I might be wrong here.
Anyway I'm new to this so I might be missing something. Though the .4 patch was cancelling the Apply action and no more update failures where showing. The .5 you uploaded is still giving Errors.
This is by hitting the Apply button 5 times in a row.
I'll take another swing at it as well as I never though of the Theme process as well.
Best regards,
Konstantinos

@swissspidy , now that i see this again with fresh eyes - do you want me to apply your patch and rework my js on top of your new css classes ? Just in case that makes it good to get it onboard as well?

Hey all! I'm new here, and I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. Patch refreshed. This works for me with a plugin updating. Not sure how to test the theme side. Note that I did not do the css selector change at the end of 40966.5. I wasn't sure if that was still necessary since the last post here was a couple years ago.

Hello @giuliapierbon, and welcome on Trac.
You get the message above because the patch doesn't apply anymore.

@giuliapierbon No problem! Contributing to WordPress can be difficult (especially in the beginning), but the most important part is to give it a try!
If you want to take care of the ticket (which doesn't strictly mean that you have to write the patch for it), I'm giving you ownership.

@giuliapierbon I have attached new code to prevent items being added to the update queue again when the user click the update button several times.
To do this I added a new class "is-enqueued" the first time the update is launched for each element, if the user click again on the update button I check if that class is already present and do not add it back to the queue.
The class is then removed in the event of a successful or failed update of each plugin.
I have tested locally for both successful and failed updates and it seems to work correctly.
I don't know if using an HTML class is the best way to solve this bug, maybe it can also be done using local storage, but i see that WordPress use many other class to do similar thing, like "active", "update" or "is-uninstallable".
Hey there,
Welcome to WordPress Trac and thanks for your report!
I'm pretty sure this isn't new in WordPress 4.8. This functionality was introduced in 4.6 with Shiny Updates. We've previously fixed this bug in the feature plugin (see https://github.com/obenland/shiny-updates/issues/145), but I guess not every instance of it.
