All POST requests being sent twice. about http-client

[geefinator]

Just to update, as you will notice I was allowing the bad requests to save as objects on the api. I went ahead an threw a 400 if the data was empty, and sure enough as I expected, the http-client ignored the 400 and came back with the 201 (of the good request with the proper data).

Hi there,

I've created a Unit Test to check whether it's an API issue. Seems not to be so. Here is the code if you wan't to check it yourself:

      it('should make only one request (Issue #25)', () => {
        var content = { name: "A demo name" };
        var client = new HttpClient()
          .configure(x => {
            x.withBaseUrl(baseUrl);
            x.withHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
          });

        client.post('some/cool/path', content);
        expect(jasmine.Ajax.requests.count()).toBe(1);
      });

So I guess it's related to something specific to your application. Dunno maybe you're calling the method by incident a second time or so. Just add a breakpoint to your addOrganization() method to see if it's executed twice.

The addOrganization() function is only being called upon a form submittal. So unless the form is being submitted twice, I am not sure how my application would be making double requests. Just the behavior of the two requests really seems like a bug somewhere. One was completely silent as far as dev tools was concerned, the other was not. I will take a look again at my code, but it really is dead simple whats going on.

And now it seems to no longer be doing it at all. shrug. I did do some refactoring of all that code so i suppose I must of been doing something whacky previously. Thanks for taking the time to write up a test case for my own error :)
