[media] Uploading a big file should produce an error but nothing happens..

[nicolasbrossard]

The file size limit on the V29 testing VM is 2G. I tried uploading a valid (i.e name fits the exptected name template) file with size bigger than 2G in the media module and it got to 5% but then the form froze...Stack traces were displayed in the JS console (see included screenshot).

@nicolasbrossard I can't seem to actually re-create this. I got a normal error when I tried to upload a 3GB file on the test vm

@skarya22 I just retested and I get the same behaviour on my end (form freezes, no error popup). Weird...You are using Chrome I assume?

@nicolasbrossard this was firefox actually -- I'll download chrome and re-try!

That is a good point, thanks @skarya22 for pointing out, yes you are right, for firefox it is behaving differently as shown in the left part of the screenshot, and also may be different versions of firefox handling it differently, I have firefox 152.0.4 (aarch64)

I checked uploadForm.js:369, which consists inside xhr.addEventListener('error', ...) function, so it seems firefox is handling it better and invoking addEventListener in case of error. I also checked on safari, it is freezing as well.
