Hi! I’ve encontered an issue in the authoring MFE when using Safari, and couldn’t find any open discussion about it.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to the studio cms
  2. Choose a course
  3. Go to “Content > Updates”
  4. Click on “New update”
  5. Error appears

The error is only happening on Safari.

Screen error:
Unexpected Application Error!
Invalid time value

Console logs:
React Router caught the following error during render
Range error: Invalid time value - hooks.tsx:632

Has anyone else encountered similar issues with Safari?
Thanks in advance for the support.

I don’t know this for a fact, and I don’t have access to an OSX device to test, but my guess is it’s something to do with the date formatting. apparently Safari is quite strict about following ISO-8601 date formats so my guess is it’s something to do with the code here: frontend-app-authoring/src/course-updates/hooks.jsx at 8e3ea89339e4ab6258c01f8e92436ee5dc055889 · openedx/frontend-app-authoring · GitHub which is formatting the date as ‘MMMM D, YYYY’ from frontend-app-authoring/src/constants.js at 8e3ea89339e4ab6258c01f8e92436ee5dc055889 · openedx/frontend-app-authoring · GitHub
This might be an interoperability bug, but I’m unable to verify for sure. @braden do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi @PauloV and welcome to the community :slight_smile:

What version of Tutor/the site are you running? Does it work in any other browser such as Chrome or Firefox?

Hi @sarina, thanks!

I am running tutor version 20.0.0. It works on both Chrome and Firefox.

@PauloV thanks for confirming! I suspect what @joel.edwards mentions is the bug.

@PauloV or @joel.edwards would you mind opening a bug ticket on https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues and ping me there? I can look into it, or if someone else wants to take it on I’m happy to review.

Thanks @joel.edwards. I have confirmed the bug and put details onto the issue. If anyone has time to work on a fix, I’d be happy to review it, including testing in Safari.
