Error: An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later. (when having odd characters in filename)

[oldrup]

When uploading with bonkers characters, to WP 6.7 beta 3, specifically this filename:

A text document Øblegrød! med mærkelige tegn æøå ÆØÅ #-🌻😂❤️👏.txt

I get this error: "An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later."

Screenshot attached.

The file DOES get uploaded though.

Uploading files with sane characters does not trigger this error.

Seems weird, I am getting a different error ( don't think .txt is allowed )

[oldrup]

Weird indeed.

I just uploaded a test.txt file, with no issues. After renaming to something silly, got the error.

@pratiklondhe are you able to upload a simply named txt file?

Make sure it contains something. Empty files can cause issues on some systems.

[pratiklondhe]

Same error, the filename is normal and also the file contains some text 🤔

[pratiklondhe]

hey @oldrup , I also tried uploading a normal image with these characters and it still uploads without issues, possible to get instructions on how this can be reproduced?

[oldrup]

Ah, @pratiklondhe — you're right!

I had the Activity Log plugin enabled to log, well, any activity and errors, and it seems that the logging itself caused the issue.

No issue with Activity Log disabled

I'll take this issue to them

Thank you for helping me to troubleshoot this one. Didn't expect my logging to be the actual cause of the problem. Will check without anything at all enabled next time. ;)
