Cannot edit specific edition

[zorae]

Problem

I’m unable to edit this specific edition. Trying to save changes always results in an internal error. The problem might be related to a malformed entry in the “weight” field, but clearing the field doesn’t resolve the issue either.

Even with debug=true, the errors just look like:
Sorry. There seems to be a problem with what you were just looking at.
We've noted the error 2025-01-28/100418148893 and will look into it as soon as possible.

Reproducing the bug

1. Go to https://openlibrary.org/books/OL34402860M/Painted_Diagrams/edit
2. Make any change to the work or edition
3. Save

• Expected behavior: The change is saved.
• Actual behavior: An internal server error occurs.

Context

• Browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc): Safari
• OS (Windows, Mac, etc):
• Logged in (Y/N): Y
• Environment (prod, dev, local): prod

@zorae it looks like multiple edits have been made to this record since the issue was opened. Maybe the first one that set the weight to 0.01 fixed the problem? I think there was another issue where there's a minimum weight?

The weight had no units, and seems made up, so I cleared it. Does it look ok now?

@hornc Yep, seems like it’s fixed! Can anyone confirm if setting the weight to 0.01 is really the trick to resolving these issues? I’ve come across broken editions like this in the past, so I’m sure there’s others still out there.
