Sometimes after publishing a product, the product is "not found"

[spencern]

When creating a new product, sometimes it becomes "not found" after publishing it.
I don't have perfect reproduction steps for this one yet, but it's happened to me several times.
Here's a video:

@spencern this has been happening to me as well but I have not been able to reliably reproduce it. It will still appear in the grid but when you go to the PDP I get the 404 page

I've seen this, so it can be reproduced... but not sure the steps..

[spencern]

Was able to reproduce this on the release-1.3 branch

Making this minor because it's bad when it happens but doesn't happen very often

[prinzdezibel]

On place this can happen is in the short time between publishing and redirection:

reaction/imports/plugins/included/product-detail-simple/client/containers/publish.js

Line 52 in ac07d02

window.location.href = newProductPath;

I'm refactoring this as part of #2246, because the page reload is not good anyway. Not unlikely, that this problem gets resolved as part of it.

One example, where it happens reliable is when navigating to ProductGrid before acutally publishing a change to the permalink.

See the gif as example.

This is addressed through the following PR (#3748).

There's also another PR on how the changed handles are published as part of ticket #2246, which involves a tracker not being executed when the product handle changes. This is also one situation where the behavior described in this ticket can occur. With this PR applied, I haven't seen this specific problem any longer: (#3755)
