Trying to add JS component, fails with 422 response

I would swear this was fixed weeks ago 😬

Which commit or tag of XB was this tested on?

It was changed back here: https://www.drupal.org/project/experience_builder/issues/3521819#comment... 🐛 Hovered preview for JS components in library not working Active in order to resolve that bug's issue.

But the change itself is a band-aid solution that solved the above issue, but causes the 422 error here. We will want to update the band-aid solution but it will require work. @tedbowman actually started on a proof of concept solution to address this: 🐛 Component list for UI Library should return auto-saved code components if any Active

I think in order to address this there's 2 options:
1. Continue on 🐛 Component list for UI Library should return auto-saved code components if any Active if that approach looks good
2. Remove the "Add to components" from the contextual menu from now, and make users click it from the top right in the code editor (which is working). And then return to #1 later, if we want to prioritize what's currently in the remaining sprints before GA

My opinion is doing #2 because it seems like most people have been adding components using the top right button in the code editor anyway.

Makes sense to remove the button while it's broken. 👍

Opened an MR to remove the "Add to components" menu item from the contextual menu for now. Added a todo that points to 🐛 Component list for UI Library should return auto-saved code components if any Active which will replace the band-aid solution with a proper one.

The reason behind this bug is because in the "add to components" PATCH request, we are currently sending "...selectedComponent" along with status: true. Ideally the frontend should only have to send the necessary changes, in this case status: true. See 🐛 PATCH request for config entities reset values that are not sent Active .

The band-aid is that we send "...selectedComponent" in the PATCH. Without sending that as of now, I think the hovered preview, and props and slots breaks. I think this is because the component entities displayed in the component UI list don't have the most auto-saved version of a JS component.

Clicking from the contextual menu sends the JS component config entity (...selectedComponent) since thats what we use to render the list of code components. The JS component config entity doesn't include imported_js_components (by backend design) and so the server complains because it requires imported_js_components to be sent when its also sent compiled_js

The bug doesn't happen from clicking the top right "Add to components" button because ...selectedComponent in this case is taken from our redux store of the code editor which stores the imported_js_components property that the error is about.

I also think removing it for now is the good call. Approved the MR, assigning back to @hooroomoo to resolve the conflicts, then this can be merged.

It will be addressed properly in 🐛 Component list for UI Library should return auto-saved code components if any Active

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
