Uploaded file detected as duplicate after deletion and re-upload

[atniph]

What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?

1. Upload a new file to any dataset.
2. Delete the uploaded file from the files list.
3. Attempt to re-upload the same file.

• What happens?

The system detects the re-uploaded file as a duplicate, despite being deleted previously.

• What did you expect to happen?

The system should allow re-uploading the file without considering it as a duplicate since it was previously deleted.

Which version of Dataverse are you using?

v6.1

@atniph wow, what a weird bug. We should hire you to do QA for us! 😄 Thanks for letting us know!

This was reported recently by another use in HDV.

We need to confirm if any additional steps are missing from the report:

@atniph can you confirm if any steps are missing:

1. Did you upload the files, select save, and then delete the files and try to reupload again?
2. Did you upload files, not save, delete them, and try to reupload them?

We aren't able to duplicate with the steps you listed to get the same message you posted " deleting duplicates."

Thanks

• Next step: try to recreate problem. Sizing at 3 to test it out. Resize as needed once you perform the test.

I was able to reproduce this. I stayed entirely on the "create dataset" page. That is, I'm on http://localhost:8080/dataset.xhtml?ownerId=1 when the error happened.

• Click "create dataset"
• Fill in required fields
• Scroll down and click "select files to add"
• Upload a file
• Delete the file
• Upload the same file
• Expect an error like this:

Is this bug worth fixing, though? @atniph do you want to try it on the new (React) UI at https://beta.dataverse.org/spa/ to see if you can reproduce it there? We are throwing the old (JSF) UI in the trash soon so I don't think it's worth fixing. 🗑️ /cc @cmbz @scolapasta @sbarbosadataverse

do you want to try it on the new (React) UI

I just tried. I don't think we'll have this problem with the new UI because it forces you to create the dataset first before you can upload any files. Note how there is no "upload files" button at the bottom of the "create dataset" page:
