Description

I was working on a module. I hit play and got an error in a “DraftReducers” script. After hitting stop and committing my module, I got the error “committed with dirty Outdated state”.

When I rejoined the team create place, the script was deleted and I can restore it, but the uncommitted “deleted” script is stuck in my drafts. I cannot discard it.

There is no simple repro that I could create, but below I have more details of what happened:

After working on a script, I hit play to test it and got the error below in some of my scripts.

After committing a specific module, somehow the code got wiped and the module was reset. I thought I lost progress.

It turns out that when I rejoined my team create place, the module script was deleted somehow. However, when I try to restore the script, it creates a copy of it but does not remove the deleted draft in the list. Whenever I try to delete the draft, it does not work so now I have a ghost script stuck in my drafts.

I was unable to create a minimal repro, but it started today and seems to be happening consistently in my game with the latest module that I wrote. I was getting this error when trying to commit the draft before restarting studio:

  15:29:28.523  builtin_DraftsWidget.rbxm.DraftsWidget.TestRunner.main:144: Draft 'StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.GuiComponents.LevelUpCode.AgeUpNotification' was committed with dirty Outdated state  -  Studio

Unable to delete drafts

Can you zip up the contents of %localappdata%\Roblox\Sandbox\6025486226\21748114 + your logs (details in How to post a Bug Report) and DM them to the bug files group?

@Myzta, to fix the issue with the draft you cannot delete, you can use the following workaround:

Cleanup whole Drafts content:
- commit all drafts you care about
- close the Studio
- remove %localappdata%\Roblox\Sandbox\6025486226\21748114 completely, this will effectively remove all remaining drafts, so be sure everything you need is committed!
- you are done, restart the Studio

I’m still experiencing this issue on an M1 MacBook nearly three years later. Is this something y’all could take a look at again? I’m happy to send any debug files if y’all need.

Hi @AsyncFunctions,

Have you tried the above workaround? The drafts in question would be under your ~/Documents/Roblox/Sandbox/<PlaceId>/* directory.
