Bug: Unauthorized Error (401) When Creating Insight via POST /v2/workspaces/{id}/insights

[SURAJ-SHARMA27]

Describe the bug

When a user selects repositories from the workspace and clicks "Add to Insight" followed by "Create Insight," the page freezes for an extended period. Eventually, the site crashes and throws an error:

I tested the endpoint using Swagger with a valid payload, and it returned a 401 Unauthorized error.

Proposed Solution:

a fallback function to handle cases where the API fails to return the desired response, preventing the site from crashing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to workspace
2. Select some repositories
3. Click on add to insight button
4. Click on create insight.

If this issue is valid and the organization is looking to fix it, I would like to work on it. @jpmcb @nickytonline , could you please take a look?

[jpmcb]

I'm not able to reproduce this: can you give us abit more information?

1. Generally, geographically, where are you located?
2. You mention that "the API fails to return the desired response": can you look in the network tab to give us which API endpoint is failing? Is it timing out?
3. Is this consistently reproducible?

Yes i have attached the video for your reference:

@jpmcb it seems to be an issue just on beta.

[jpmcb]

I believe this is an API issue where the POST v2/workspaces/:workspace-id/insights is timing out. I believe I have a solution and this should start working on beta when we get it in.

Just asking out of curiosity, is the backend of OpenSauced not open source? 🙂

Good question! Not currently: we closed sourced it earlier this year as we were working on some more special proprietary bits.

This has been fixed in the beta API and will land in prod soon!

No problem, @jpmc. Actually, I have worked with backend development as well and was looking to learn from here by contributing. That's why I asked.
