Unable to update email, despite success message #3188

Open tessarin opened 1 month ago

tessarin commented 1 month ago

Description

Changing the email address at the profile page (metacpan.org/account/profile) to a different one and saving results in a "Success. The profile has been updated" messages. Yet, the author page (metacpan.org/author/) does not reflect any changes.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to metacpan.org/account/profile
  2. Update the email address
  3. Scroll down to the bottom
  4. Click on "Save Profile"
  5. Go to the corresponding author page metacpan.org/author/<user>.

Expected behavior

Updated email. Yet, it only shows the previous address.

Refreshing the profile page shows the updated address.

Solved.

During the last days, I've been observing a very inconsistent behavior: sometimes the email gets registered, and sometimes it doesn't. The only constant is that it always returns to the @ cpan address after a few hours. So, definitely there is something going on and consequently I'm reopening the issue.
