Donation form stops at "Loading: Where Your Donation Goes"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We have five recent tickets from donors encountering this error. #181207 uses Firefox 42.0 on a Macbook Pro, #181656 uses OS X El Capitan with Safari; waiting to hear back from #181200, 181520, 181242. It is likely that there are more of these given the understated wording with which some donors report donation errors, and that some may not contact us about it.

ccogdill points out that the screenshot URL is from an email link

...and that this screen briefly appears as a normal part of the email link loading the form. We'll ask donors to refresh the page as an interim response.

The landing page also makes a cross-domain request to load the payment outages from meta. It's possible that when that request fails, we never get to the line of code that makes the form appear.

Nah, never mind, we show the form before that script loads.

I couldn't reproduce what's causing this. However @Ejegg's suggestion is a good one, and I've implemented it. This should stop it from stalling on 'Loading' if there is a problem in the adjustment code.
