Wordpress-android: Editor/Media: image upload failure "Failed to insert media" for a .wepb image on an image block

[designsimply]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Long-press to copy the image at the top of this page to copy the .webp file your device (or use your own .webp image). https://images.app.goo.gl/XanTzSj7fbbQjx1aA
   ^{NOTE: for testing purposes only, image may be subject to copyright.}
2. Go to My Site > + > Blog post.
3. Add a title and and image block.
4. Tap ADD IMAGE > Choose from device.
5. Select the image downloaded in step 1 and tap INSERT.
6. Observe that the image upload fails immediately.

Result: when I try to upload a .webp image I downloaded from a Google search into an image block, the media upload fails immediately with an on screen error that says "Failed to insert media. Please tap for options." The logs, however, show a different error that says "MALFORMED_MEDIA_ARG" and "Media upload failed for post 101 : MALFORMED_MEDIA_ARG: media must define a valid MIME type." The Media screen doesn't allow me to select a .webp image at all when I use the media picker there—which would prevent the image upload failure from happening, but the media picker in the editor let's me select a .webp image and then just fails.

Another report in 3478657-zen. Still asking for the device information.

I noticed the latest version from play store still has issue with app getting stuck trying to upload image if choosing a .webp file (Google image format). Chrome saves images in this format on some sites to reduce size and dara usage.

You get error in app and option to retry but if you remove it there is a Android notification that shows it still trying and can't swipe to clear it. You have to go to draft and save post.

thanks for reporting this @designsimply ! Could you please double check this with the new media picker (which will be coming out in the next release)? We've implemented a solution to filter out webp images. Thanks!

[hypest]

Not sure, is this ticket addressed at this point? Should we close it?

[designsimply]

@planarvoid @hypest this issue is still valid. I tested with 16.3-rc-3 and The same problem is still happening. Since the ask to retest is from 28 days ago and 16.2 was released 9 days ago, I think it should be working in the 16.3 beta, yes?

Video: 3m30s
^{Tested with WPAndroid 16.3-rc-3 on Pixel 4 Android 10.}

Should this issue be moved to the gutenberg-mobile repo? Why or why not? (asking for my own knowledge 😊)

[hypest]

Aha, I see the flow you used there @designsimply. Looks like you tried it via another app and Google Photos did allow for selecting the webp image. Our own image picker and the Android picker doesn't allow selecting the webp ones.

So, this seems like a subcase of the overall flow. @planarvoid , do you think there's a way to limit any app via the picker, or at least Google Photos?

[designsimply]

Or 😁😁😁 what about adding support for webp images?

[hypest]

Pinging @frosty here since y'all recently worked on a media picker consolidation project: is there any context around where we are in terms of supporting webp and any particular reason we kept it as unsupported in that recent project?

BTW, there's this ticket open about webp support in the apps.

[frosty]

Thanks for the ping. As far as I'm aware, webp still is not supported by the backend – there was this post many years ago about webp support, but I think that was about _serving_ webp images. This more recent forum post mentions that webp isn't allowed as an upload format.

[designsimply]

Oh! Thank you for the update. In that case, we definitely shouldn't allow uploading webp images from Gutenberg Mobile and we should show a proper error when someone tries to.

^{(I had skimmed internal reference p4TIVU-9se-p2 about enabling webp but now I realize it was a different context.)}

For comparison, if you try to upload a webp image using Calypso Gutenberg it replies with the following error:

Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.

[frosty]

Thanks for clarifying, @designsimply.

As @planarvoid is AFK until January, pinging @develric – do you know if there's a way we can prevent webp files from being selected in the system picker? (see this video for an example)

[develric]

Hey 👋 . For what I remember the expected behaviour currently implemented is:

• not present not supported media types in the app mediapicker; but you can always go to the system picker from this icon

• Once you are in the system picker, we do not have full control both on how it looks like and options it has since it depends also from the Android flavor customization that the manufacturer can apply. What has been done is to gray out not supported types. And I see if you go into Downloads from the left menu (as @designsimply did at some point in the video) you get the above behaviour (that is webp image grayed out)

| | |
|---|---|

• BUT it seems that when you access the image in the system picker going to Photos or Gallery the gray out filtering is not applied so it creates the inconsistent behaviour

| | |
|---|---|

Didn't have the occasion to look at what degree we can have the grayed out behaviour applied to the Photos/Gallery path (even if my gut feeling is we have not much since we navigate there from the system picker, but better check 😄 ).
I would:

• try to make the grayed behaviour for not supported formats consistent also for photos/gallery (I can look at it a bit further next week before my AFK and eventually report here or in a dedicated issue what I find)
• If we cannot cover the above (or we are not happy with it anyway) I guess we should consider that it's still possible to attempt an upload for not supported formats from some path and improve the error we show in that case (tbh the message improvement is maybe worth regardless, in case we just miss any additional path that can lead to this 😄 )

Let me know wdyt 🙇 .

[develric]

Quick follow up to say that AFAIU I need to confirm the above, that is:

• as long as we stay in the system picker we already specify the valid mime types (EXTRA_MIME_TYPES in the Intent); so that the relevant media are in this way listed but grayed out (and intentionally not possible to select them)
• in the system picker there can be additional apps like gallery or google photos started up from the system picker and as of now I could not find a way to force them to use the same list of valid mime types with which we started up the system picker (good to get ideas here in case I'm missing anything 🙇‍♂️ ).

I would say the best we can do is to improve the error message and how we present it to user. While looking into this I saw that we currently report the error in the dialog that appears tapping on the failed image upload block (even if this remains pretty hidden tbh).

Also this remembered me of another discussion here that slipped through the cracks ( 🙃 ) but is super related and drafts some highlights (here and maybe more here). I'm going to be AFK until new year but if nobody beats me on covering this (and with it, the #7103) I think I can work on it (I would say most probably on WK2). cc @designsimply

[planarvoid]

Thanks for the investigation @develric . I'd even consider changing the error text "Media must define a valid MIME type" - it's not really an invalid type, our server just doesn't support it.

[designsimply]

Maybe something closer to the Calypso wording? Simplified: "This file type is not allowed."

I think it would be more user-friendly to leave out "MIME type". 😬 😊
