What

Remove the onErrorResume(Mono.empty()) handler in archiveGivenActionCollection so that failures in archiveGivenNewAction propagate up instead of being silently discarded.

Why

archiveGivenActionCollection iterates over all JS actions in a collection and calls newActionService.archiveGivenNewAction for each. If archiveGivenNewAction fails for any action, the current code catches the error and returns Mono.empty() so the action is simply omitted from the results list:

.onErrorResume(throwable -> {
log.debug(...);
log.error(throwable.getMessage());
return Mono.empty(); // error discarded
})

As a result, the collection proceeds to archive itself (repository.archive(actionCollection)) even when some of its actions were not deleted. This creates orphaned NewAction documents in MongoDB that are invisible in the UI but permanently consume storage and can interfere with future imports or conflict during workspace exports.

How

Remove the onErrorResume block entirely. Any error from archiveGivenNewAction now propagates through the reactive chain and causes the entire archiveGivenActionCollection call to fail, which is the correct behavior: if an action cannot be archived, the collection should not be marked as archived either.

Closes #42116

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Archiving an action collection now reports failures when an individual action cannot be archived.
    • Prevented incomplete archiving and related deletion events when an individual action fails to archive.

…d of swallowing with Mono.empty()

archiveGivenActionCollection iterates over all JS actions in a collection
and calls archiveGivenNewAction on each. If archiveGivenNewAction fails,
onErrorResume returns Mono.empty() so the error is silently discarded.
The collection then marks itself archived even though some of its actions
still exist in the database, leaving orphaned action documents and
creating inconsistent state that cannot be recovered via the UI.

Fix: remove the onErrorResume block so any failure in archiveGivenNewAction
propagates up the reactive chain and prevents the collection from being
marked archived until all its actions are successfully removed.

Fixes appsmithorg#42116

Walkthrough

The change removes error suppression from child action archival. A failure now stops the reactive operation and prevents the parent action collection from archiving.

Changes

Action collection archival

Layer / File(s) Summary
Propagate child archive errors
app/server/appsmith-server/src/main/java/com/appsmith/server/actioncollections/base/ActionCollectionServiceCEImpl.java, app/server/appsmith-server/src/test/java/com/appsmith/server/services/ActionCollectionServiceImplTest.java
archiveGivenActionCollection now propagates child archive failures. The regression test verifies that parent archival and delete analytics are not invoked after a child archive failure.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to e612b

The change makes archive failures propagate instead of silently continuing, preventing partial archive results; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

Child actions wait their turn,
Archive errors now return,
Parent records stay unchanged,
Failed paths are not estranged,
Tests confirm the guarded flow.

… archiveById

Before the fix, archiveGivenActionCollection swallowed errors from
archiveGivenNewAction via onErrorResume, causing child action failures
to be silently ignored while the parent collection was still deleted.

This test verifies that after removing onErrorResume:
1. A RuntimeException from archiveGivenNewAction propagates through archiveById
2. repository.archive (parent collection deletion) is never called
3. analyticsService.sendDeleteEvent is never called

Relates to appsmithorg#42116

Match exact error message and verify archiveGivenNewAction was called

…) assembly

repository.archive() is called eagerly during reactive chain assembly in
archiveGivenActionCollection (argument to .then()). The previous test
left it unstubbed (returning null), causing NullPointerException during
assembly rather than proving the child error propagated.

Fix: stub archive() with Mono.defer() so assembly succeeds, and track
subscription with AtomicBoolean instead of verify(never()). The defer
body only executes on subscription, so asserting it stayed false proves
the archive was never subscribed to after the child action failed.
