Custom document action for publish, fails to publish

[georgibakken]

Describe the bug

When using custom document actions to extend the publish action, sometimes the document is not published.

It doesn't happen in a specific pattern, but more at random. Looking in the network tab, the POST publish call is not sent when this happens. When it manages to publish, the POST is sent. There is no error in the console.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Implement extension of document action

export function publishAction(originalAction, context) {
  const BetterAction = (props) => {
    const { patch } = useDocumentOperation(props.id, props.type);
    const originalResult = originalAction(props);
    return {
      ...originalResult,
      onHandle: async () => {
       

        if (props.draft.publishedAt === undefined) {
          patch.execute([{ set: { publishedAt: new Date().toISOString() } }]);
        }

        patch.execute([{ set: { lastPublishedAt: new Date().toISOString() } }]);

        originalResult.onHandle();
      },
    };
  };
  return BetterAction;
}

2. Add it to sanity.config.ts

...
      prev.map((originalAction) => {
        if (originalAction.action === "publish") {
          return publishAction(originalAction, context);
        }
...

3. Try publishing a document in Sanity Studio, sometimes it doesn't get published (after 5-6 times perhaps, and sometimes straight away)

Additional context

I have tried the different examples in custom document actions with no luck.

I came to report the exact same issue. I have a more or less identical custom action as the above.

Some consistent patterns I have noticed:

In my document I have an array of images that seem to be central:

1. If I don't add anything to the image array the document will be almost always published immediately.
2. If I add more than two images to the array there's a ~100% change of the document NOT getting published. It will be stuck in the publishing state forever.
3. When the document is stuck in the publishingstate, I can click Add item to the image array and the document will suddenly be published.

For the the network tab, I can see that in step 2 above, there is no POST to the data/actions/
endpoint, which is is the case in step 1.
