wallabag: failure to add more than three tags

Environment

  • Version: Version: 2.5.4
  • Installation: git clone
  • PHP version:
  • OS: Debian stable
  • Database: MariaDB
  • Parameters: unavailable (hosted by a friend, available upon request)

What steps will reproduce the bug?

  1. save a page in wallabag using the Firefox web extension, do not add tags
  2. go to the page in the wallabag website, click on the Add a tag button
  3. type the string performance,realtime,linux,kernel,patch in the field
  4. observe how no tag is being added

At first I thought it was because I had more than three tags: if I only add performance,realtime,linux, those tags get added and then I can add kernel,patch. But I have tried to add the tags foo,bar,baz,quux and that works so I’m not exactly sure what’s going on… maybe it’s the string length?

frankly? no. i don’t understand why the web app has this artificial limitation of 5 tags, and i think it should be removed, or at least bumped up to what’s actually supported by the server. on the android app and the firefox extension, i regularly add more than 5 tags.

am i missing something here?

I don’t think a blank failure with zero feedback is the best way to convey this “feature”.

I think the right solution to the security issue is #6300

Ok I will deploy 2.6.1 very soon. All is almost finished 😊

Hmm, I thought it was an old “feature”, in fact, no.

It was added in https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/pull/6290

@j0k3r do you remember why you added this limit?
