Error 422: Validation errors when emptying junk

Community Support

I have 1168 notes in my Junk that I want to permanently delete. But when I try to “Empty Junk”, I get: “Error 422: Validation Errors”. Even deleting one note from junk results in the same error. How can I permanently delete these notes.

Silly question, but the same error continues to happen after you log out and then back in, and then try to empty junk?

Yes, I tried logging out and in again. Same result.

Thanks for the update, we’ll look into why 422 errors might be firing. In the meantime if you go into Junk and use multi-select in the table layout you should pretty quickly be able to select a bunch of rows (using Shift + Click) to delete in batches. Through process of elimination you might also find the card that’s acting up which would be very helpful for us :slight_smile:

Doesn’t help. I’m not able to even delete one note. I tried randomly.

Using the WebApp and console, I noticed this when emptying Junk:

{
    "type": "validation",
    "detail": "Validation errors",
    "meta": {
        "": "List should have at most 500 items after validation, not 1186"
    },
    "status": 422
}

So I wanted to be clever and restored all notes, then junked 13 of them. Tried to empty junk again. Same error, even with the same number (1186).

Hi @mjax, this is just the request failing because we limit how many cards you can perform a bulk action on at once, and clearly the junk all / restore all isn’t properly batching requests from the client. We will fix that, but in the mean time to get unstuck you just need to ensure that you are only trying to delete < 500 cards at once.

As mentioned previously, even deleting 1 note from junk doesn’t work. Every note I tried failed to be deleted.

Yep, you will probably need to logout and back in again. Then you will see your junk still has all the cards in it (because removing from junk was failing for your > 500 card request). Then if you only delete < 500 at a time it should work.

Again, we’ve been over this. I’ve logged out and in multiple times, to no avail.

Gotcha, that is almost certainly a caching issue with your app / browser. If you login to Supernotes via the browser (different one if you were already in-browser), you should be able to delete one card at a time (or up to 500 at once).

We will make sure to get this bug fixed ASAP.

So both my webversion (Chrome) and de Desktop app had the same symptoms. I tried Firefox and I was able to delete notes from Junk in batches.

Great, sorry that took some effort. Planning to have a fix up for this soon.
