Description

Steps to reproduce

edit a section of an article, publish
edit same section again, publish

Expected results

after first save, page display should reflect your own changes. editing again show your own changes in edit mode as well. should be possible to reliably edit several times in one minute. save early and often.

Actual results

after first save return to same content from before edit. edit again and it shows source from before first edit and get edit conflict on save. swipe down to refresh content, now it does show your edit. try again to edit and source still shows old content and get edit conflict popup again.

these are the 2 edits: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Azlo&dir=prev&offset=20200506213859%7C955270532&limit=2&action=history

caching has been screwy in this app a long time.

I'm the only editor to that article in more than 48 hrs and following the instructions to refresh and try again doesn't help.

2.7.50336-beta-2020-11-24

my gut says this is a 5 minute fix for someone that already knows the right part of the codebase. seems there's more than one local cache in the app. a manual refresh immediately after edit updates the rendering but doesn't purge/update the cache used by the in-app editor.

if I'm missing something here please set me straight.

got an edit conflict then waited 10+ mins, still was a conflict. (and I was still the only editor today)

then tried something new and found a workaround:
force quit the Wikipedia app and try again and no conflict. need to do more testing to confirm this fixes in all cases. inconvenient but better than nothing.

and now force quit doesn't help. so maybe was a coincidence the first time.

LGoto moved this task from Epics in Progress to Ready for dev on the Wikipedia-Android-App-Backlog (Android Release - FY2023-24) board.

The "refresh after edit" issue has been fixed recently, which also fixed this problem. Thanks for reporting this.
