    text
    copied!<p>I have a Backbone application in which I am creating a new model and saving it. Here's a snippet of the code, with debugging, in CoffeeScript:</p> <pre><code>newListing = new Listing console.log "New?", newListing.isNew() newListing.save creation, { wait: true success: (model, response) =&gt; console.log "SAVED", model console.log "RESPONSE", response } </code></pre> <p>For debugging, I have also overridden <code>Backbone.sync</code>:</p> <pre><code>oldSync = Backbone.sync Backbone.sync = (method, model) -&gt; console.log "Syncing:", method, model oldSync(arguments...) </code></pre> <p>Usually, this works fine. I get this in the console:</p> <pre><code>New? true Syncing: create &gt; Listing SAVED &gt; Listing RESPONSE &gt; Object </code></pre> <p>And in the Network Inspector I see:</p> <pre><code>listings POST 200 application/json </code></pre> <p>I also see a POST request logged in my (Rails) application log.</p> <p>However, after creating a few Listings, I start to see the following behavior on the console:</p> <pre><code>New? true Syncing: create &gt; Listing SAVED &gt; Listing RESPONSE [&gt; Object, &gt; Object, &gt; Object, &gt; Object, &gt; Object, &gt; Object] </code></pre> <p>where each <code>Object</code> is a Listing already saved in the database. The Network Inspector and my application log also indicate that Backbone performed a GET request to /listings. Furthermore, the <code>Listing</code> in the third line that has been "SAVED" is a client-side representation of the listing (without some additional details that the server usually inserts).</p> <p>I have not been able to find any pattern to this behavior; sometimes, Backbone insists on sending GET after GET, and after a refresh it starts working. Sometimes it acts up until I restart my application server. Happy to explore any suggestions!</p> <p>[Edit]</p> <p>Alright, after some sleuthing, it appears that after I call <code>fetch()</code> on a <code>Listings</code> collection, <code>Listing#save()</code> starts doing this. The issue only appears on my laptop, which is running Chrome Dev (v19). On other browsers and older versions of Chrome it works fine.</p>
