Queries sometimes refuse to save in the UI despite a 200 response and no user-facing message as to an issue

  1. My goal: Save an edited query in the Code pane.
  2. Issue: The blue "Save" button will change state to "Saving" and then go back to "Save" after a couple seconds. There is no indication as to why the save didn't succeed.
  3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot: Reload the page, which usually sees the saved changes persisted.
  4. Additional info: (Cloud or Self-hosted, Screenshots)

See video:

It's clear the query doesn't save according to the UI, which would usually result in the blue "Save" button turning into a blue "Run" button. One can also see the little blue circle icon in the query's tab, denoting an unsaved query.

This has been happening randomly for me for maybe the past several months, perhaps as long as 6 months.

Most of the time reloading the page after at least one save attempt will have the changes properly saved, but I feel on occasion they won't be, and I'll have lost work.

Note: There's a sharp edit 2/3 through the video where I switch from Chrome's DevTools console to the Network tab to show Retool's save query returning 200 (success). (I didn't click into the request/response's details b/c redacting any sensitive info in the video would've been too much effort right now.)

i don't know if this plays into it, but successfully saving a query just now, the button's text doesn't change to "Saving", but rather only shows a classic spinner. Hmm...

I'm facing the same issue, and beyond that, it's taking a longer time to get saved and show the Run button and sometimes the button not change to Run but it keeps with Save label

I've noticed the same effect occurring apparently randomly.

As far as I can see it does actually save the query, even though the Save button is persistent.
