Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make sure you have the 2017 Wikitext Editor enabled in your beta features.
  2. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States?veaction=editsource
  3. Make a trivial change, such as adding a character somewhere
  4. Click "Save changes"
  5. Click "Show preview"
  6. Wait thirty seconds or so.

An error is shown: "Error loading data from server: Failed to connect." This error seems to be intermittent.

Event Timeline

Deskana moved this task from To Triage to TR0: Interrupt on the VisualEditor board.

Not "Unbreak Now!" due to it being a feature that's in beta, but it's not a problem that should be left lying around.

I can no longer reproduce this. It's a little slow, but it never timed out.
