422 Unprocessable Entity upon making a post

videosurfer

When making a new post with a title and content, I receive the error "422 Unprocessable Entity", with the following:

POST http://forums.DOMAIN.com/api/discussions

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "detail": "The content field is required.",
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data/attributes/content"
      }
    }
  ]

How would I resolve this issue?

Did you leave out the content of the post while submitting?

videosurfer

No it had a title and content. I've just tried again and it's working. I'll try and replicate.

luceos

videosurfer please do. Thanks.

A related issue that happens every few posts is an error with code "0" and the message "POST http://forums.DOMAIN.com/api/discussions

null"

It is hard to replicate but seems sporadic. Tested it on numerous browsers and with different account privileges.

videosurfer without the ability to reproduce this will be very difficult to solve.

luceos Well, actually I have gotten that problem when I used Flarum with Heroku.
Anytime I post a new discussion, gives me the error. If I refresh, the discussion will exist, but it will be deleted, and will contain no posts whatsoever.
The problem in my case was that Flarum was trying to open a file, but because of permissions, couldn't and gave the error null.
Where are you hosting Flarum, @videosurfer?
PS: you can test to make a new discussion with mine @ http://discussion-flarumjs.herokuapp.com with username usernames and password password
