[Beem] [Version: 0.20.21] While tried to Post with a old post title, instead of publishing a new post, beem edits the old post
Project Information
- Repository: https://github.com/holgern/beem
- Project Name: Beem
Expected behavior
I expected i will be able to create a new post with a old post title.
Actual behavior
When i tried to post with a old post title, instead of posting a new post, beem edited the old post.
How to reproduce
Install beem 0.20.21 on you machine
Select an old post and pick the title
Now try posting through beem with the same title
You can try with below code
from beem.steem import Steem
stm = Steem(keys=<Your private posting key here>)
stm.post(title=<your tile>,body=<body of the post>, tags=<list of tags>)
Technical Analysis
When a user post from steemit or busy it tries to create a permlink similar to the tiltle if it's available. Like if the title is Hi this is a test than the permlink is similar to this - hi-this-is-a-test. Beem does the same. But if there is already a post with that permlink, steemit, busy tries to post with some addition in the permlink like- db4jnn-hi-this-is-a-test. In case of beem, it always tries to post with the first rule and do not checks if there is a post with that permlink which led this issue of editing the old post. I tried couple of time and here are those transaction on blockchain- 1, 2
Possible Solution
This issue can be fixed, if beem could check if there is already a post with the permlink it created. In case there is already a post with that permlink, beem could add some random string with it which will solve this issue.
