Merged: Yes


Description

This is a particularly interesting issue.

I've actually spent a considerable amount of time understanding how the entire upload component functions, ultimately identifying the problem, and now proposing a solution with this PR. Let me share the details step by step:

Firstly, what exactly is the issue?
When uploading files, if we select multiple files for batch uploading and, before this batch has finished uploading, add another batch of files, upon waiting for all network requests to finish, you'll notice that the “Next” button remains unclickable.

So, what is the underlying cause of this issue?
The main issue lies in fileListCopy, which is an outdated snapshot instead of the current fileListRef.current.

This isn't an issue for single batch uploads, but if new files are added during an upload, the updateFileList function in web/app/components/datasets/create/index.tsx updates the file list with the latest files.

However, updateFile uses fileListCopy to update post-upload information, leading to potential loss of data for files that have finished uploading due to this outdated copy.

The solution is straightforward: eliminate fileListCopy.
This effectively fixes the problem without affecting existing workflows.


PS. For maintainers who want to try to reproduce this issue, you can open Chrome > Dev Tools > Network > Slow 3G throttling, which helps to reproduce the problem quickly.
