Issue
- When trying to upload a file in blogs that is less than the specified limit with the wrong extension, it shows the progress bar for a while and then gives the error.
- Based on user experience, the error should appear immediately.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to System Settings --> Blogs --> File Uploads
2. Change the Maximum Blogs Image Size to 50 MB (52428800)
3. Navigate to Content & Data --> Blogs and create a new blog
4. Drag and drop a file of wrong extension having size 40-49 MB. i.e. a large file but under the specified limit.
Observed Behavior: Error is shown after showing a progress bar for a few moments depending on file size.
Expected Behavior: Error message should appear immediately.
Environment
- Liferay DXP [all versions]
Resolution
- As per the expected behavior of the product, the extension check is performed at the backend, therefore it has to be uploaded before checking it.
- Moreover, the other checks are performed on the front side for example: size validation.
