Can't change admin email

[jdaviescoates]

@girish no. I've tried doing that it loads of times but it doesn't work. Always just reverts to admin@cloudron.local.

It displays a message saying "profile updated" but it isn't.

[jdaviescoates]

Is this just me, or an actual bug in the code?

[girish]

It works for me atleast. Is there any error in browser console or the app logs, by any chance?

Not that I can see.

But I don't use browser console much so perhaps I'm not looking properly.

Adding metadata to a book I uploaded didn't work either.

@jdaviescoates Can you check in a new installation?

[jdaviescoates]

@girish yeah, that was going to be my next step (although this was already a new install after the 1st update to the package)

Deleted, re-installed, exactly the same behaviour. I enter new email, hit enter (or save button), page refreshes, "profile updated" message is displayed, old email is back in the email box.

OK thanks, maybe this bug will turn up when I write the tests.

I succeeded in changing the admin email by NOT changing it in the Admin profile but in the Admin section, click on the Admin user in the list and then change it there.

[jdaviescoates]

@imc67 that worked for me too! thanks!

@imc67 I assume you also saw the issue of it not being able to be changed at https://url/me ?

Indeed, it’s not possible there

Can confirm that email cannot be edited from the profile. It seems calibre itself returns 200 status code for the REST API call. Seems like some app bug.

Glad it wasn't just me!

Just as an FYI, I was able to change my pw there.

Just tried this again with latest version and email change works now.
