Variable products bug

[Lennert Stock]

Hi Soft79,

I found the following bug in variable products. I’m using the latest versions of Exipre dates, WordPress and Woocommerce.

I have a variable product with a variation not in stock.
I get new stock, and enter the expire date and amount at the variation, notice that woocommerce’s stock input field is updated with the right amount, and then I update the product.
I go to the product on the front end, and the variation is still out of stock!

I enter the product editor again, and the date and amount are correct, all looks ok. I click the checkbox to disable stock management, and there the product status select box is set to “Sold out”. I select “In stock”, click the checkbox again to enable stock management, click save, and it’s in stock at the front end.

I noticed elsewhere when I edit a normal product and add an expire date and amount, woocommerce’s input field for the amount in stock is updated, but the big update button for the product remains grayed out. If I focus and edit woocommerce’s input field, the big update button becomes active.

So my wild guess is Expiry rules must fire some woocommerce javascript update event to let the product know it has been updated, as filling the woocommerce stock input field doesn’t do the trick.

Hi,

I tried to replicate this issue, but it works fine when I replicate it. After saving the product and before testing on the frontend, did you refresh the page on the frontend?

If not:

– What version of our plugin do you use?
– Can you maybe send a video or screenshots displaying this issue to admin at soft79.nl? You could use PSR.exe (Problem Steps Recorder) on Windows for this.

Here, using v1.6.0:

If you do the same with a variable product without variations, do you have the same issue?

I.e.
1. Set ‘Out of stock’ with stock management disabled
2. Set to a stock of 0 with stock management enabled
3. Change stock to 1 with stock management enabled

Now is the product purchasable on the frontend?

A variable product without variations? Did you mean a Simple Product? It doesn’t have the bug with simple products, same scenario in the video leads to a purchasable product on the frontend.

[Soft79]

Sorry, I meant a variable product without expiration. It was a slip of the keyboard…

Ah, yes I checked those, but those go fine. Here your plugin isn’t involved so that led me to believe it’s the expiry plugin.

Could you spin up a test/staging environment for me? That would really help. You can send details to admin at soft79.nl.

[Soft79]

Maybe you could temporarily disable Redit Object Cache and WP Rocket and try again.

The other plugins should be fine…

We have a staging environment, I’ll have access for you setup next week. I’ll check there with Redit Object Cache and WP Rocket disabled first.

[Lennert Stock]

I sent the details for staging to your admin email address, let me know if you didn’t get these.

This is a good product for testing:
https://www.staging.wildewolf.nl/product/skinz-hertenhuid-bot-40-85g-akyra/

[Soft79]

Received!

Please, also include ssh credentials.

[Lennert Stock]

Unfortunately we cannot give ssh access because of the security setup.
