1181007 - Can not re-submit deleted submission

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1176697

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[christopherlionelatkins]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.130 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I did a test submission of a Firefox extension used internally in our company using my personal account. After verifying that the extension passed the validation, I deleted the submission but didn't realise that I would no longer be able to re-submit the extension with the same id under our company mozilla account.

When re-submitting, we received the warning that there was an existing addon with that ID, and we were unable to make our submission.

After raising the issue with Jorge Villalobos via [e-mail], he "freed the add-on ID" but mentioned that it may cause other bugs on submission.

Our main concern is that we'd like to avoid changing the extension's id as the extension has widespread use amongst our employees (many of whom are non-technical) and we want to avoid the situation where two copies of the extension are installed simultaneously.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
------------------------

- Create addon with a given id
- Submit addon from personal account
- Delete addon from 'my submissions'
- Submit addon with company account
  - receive error about duplicate UUID
- Email [e-mail]
  - receive email saying that ID has been 'freed'
- Sign in with company account
- Navigate to 'Submit an Addon' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/developers/addon/submit/1
- Click 'I Accept this Agreement'
  - Redirected to Step 2. Upload your Add-on
- Select 'Do not list my add-on on this site (beta)'
- Click Select a file
- Select addon from file chooser
- Click Continue




Actual results:

- After clicking continue, we were redirected to an error page with the message

Oops! We had an error.

We'll get to fixing that soon.

Expected results:

- We would have been redirected to the next step in the add-on submission process
- Our aim is to submit the addon correctly under the company mozilla account
