Wordpress-android: Resolving a conflicted post offline doesn't auto-upload the post when online

Created on 25 Sep 2019  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android

If a post with unhandled auto save state is changed by the user and saved, it never uploads to the server. I am able to reproduce this for a draft, but I suspect it'd also happen for other statuses. Here are the steps:

  1. Create a post with Unhandled auto save state - I think all you need to do is to just update a post from both the Android client and another one. I used a post that resulted from the bug #10526
  2. Turn on airplane mode
  3. Tap on the post from Step 1 and select "The version from another device" (this shouldn't matter)
  4. Use the overflow menu to save the post (you can make changes to it, I don't think it'd matter)
  5. Notice that the post says "Draft will be saved to the server next time your device is online"
  6. Turn off airplane mode
  7. Profit (nothing happens)

Here is my test: https://cloudup.com/csnK5FUNo-V

_This test was run with a WordPress.com account._

_P.S: I think the choice of red color for the "Draft will be saved to the server next time your device is online" makes it feel like it's an error. Maybe we can use a different color for this?_

I agree. Can we change it to the mustard yellow color we use for "post will be published...?
