544037 - Uploading add-on resulted in 10 blank versions being created

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 553523

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect, P3)

Attachment: Upload error

I uploaded a beta version of my Add-on and after it verified I pressed the "continue" button.  The page sat there for a few minutes and finally came back with a "An error occurred moving 44666000 1265220885.xpi [3]" error message (see attached image #1).

I checked the File and Version page and there was one valid entry for the uploaded beta version and 10 bogus entries for the same version (see attached image #2).

So the upload actually worked (despite the error), but it also created a whole bunch of bogus entries.

This is the same problem I reported in bug 527250 which was duped to bug 540863 which is fixed.

The same happened to the author of this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46375 (version 2.4), and probably others.

Maybe the browser/JS isn't getting a response (or one that it is expecting), or there is a packet error and so it's redoing the request.  That would explain all the new versions (if that JS request has poor error checking on the server side) and would explain the error despite the upload working (the error comes from file_exists() failing, e.g. the file was already moved by an earlier request).  This is all just guessing - is this something that can be reproduced?
