Errors in Firefox console during import of channel

Observed behavior

When importing a channel, some errors show in the Firefox’s console.

On the side, I don’t know if the above error causes this “131% progress” error coz I cannot reproduce this consistently. But during import the progress bar moves back and forth and the values indicate … 20%, 50%, 25%, 65%,… 90%, 131%, 93%, 100% in order.

I managed to capture this screenshot.

Try 2 When I tried again, it showed the errors but the progress bar is ok:

Try 3 Re-tried again and this time the import did not proceed and showed a “Something went wrong!” page:

This is the console error:

21:17:31.263 TypeError: An id must be specified api-resource.js:752

Here’s the log: console-export-2020-6-12_21-21-4.txt

Expected behavior

No errors must show during content import.

User-facing consequences

Import functionality may be broken due to those errors.

Note the main error here is actual the final one in the second screenshot TypeError: id must be defined - here an actual error is occurring as the frontend code is asking the API resource layer to fetch an object with id undefined.

@indirectlylit Sure. Here are the issues: #7197, #7196 (Could you please add labels? I am not sure what priority are they) and a PR containing 404 logging as it was faster than opening a new issue 😃
