Description
Bug Report
Problematic behavior When trying to insert a big video file (>10MB) on docs.numerique.gouv.fr, an unknown error is show to the user.
Expected behavior/code
- Something less cryptic should happen
Steps to Reproduce
- Download the linked file,
- Create a new doc on docs.numerique.gouv.fr
- Drag and drop the file in the docs
- đ„
Environment
- Docs version: Today's version :)
- Instance url: docs.numerique.gouv.fr
Possible Solution
- Before the upload a check on the file size vs authorized file size should be performed, and the user notified for a nice UX (a link to the doc for embedding the video directly would be great).
Additional context/Screenshots
Nginx rejects the payload with a 413 that is not handled in the frontend currently, I do think it would be nicier to check the file size before upload.
