The bug

I'm developing a Lightroom Classic plugin which uploads assets to an Immich server. Additionally the plugin creates albums and adds assets to it. The plugin uses the Immich API.

Sometimes the assets get uploaded, and the album created, but the assets do not show up or are note being added to the album. All API calls seems to be OK:

Immich server log:

immich_server  | [Nest] 16  - 08/30/2024, 9:40:49 AM   DEBUG [Api:LoggingInterceptor~34mun5wg] PUT /api/albums/d3306b42-4953-4def-8167-e349aad91914/assets 200 11.81ms ::ffff:172.20.0.1

Log output from my plugin

2024-08-30 11:39:51.3910000+02:00, TRACE	ImmichAPI: Preparing PUT request /albums/d3306b42-4953-4def-8167-e349aad91914/assets

But the album stays empty.

Funnily if I got to the album list in mobile or web the album has a valid thumbnail image.

If I repeat the request with curl:

curl -L -X PUT 'http://localhost:2283/api/albums/d3306b42-4953-4def-8167-e349aad91914/assets' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'x-api-key: xxx' -d '{
  "ids": [
    "7231a6c1-e61b-4a58-8538-c50e83a4ae5e"
  ]
}'

I get the following response:

[{"id":"60ce7ed5-d1bf-41ab-9eea-dbb82e9a8eb9","success":false,"error":"duplicate"}]

Is this in any way a known behavior/bug?
How can I dig deeper into Immich server to debug this?
Is IMMICH_LOG_LEVEL=verbose the most verbose level of logging?

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

Reproduction steps

  1. Create album with API call
  2. Upload or replace assets with API
  3. Add assets to created album via API
  4. Look at album via web or mobile.

Why do you have DISABLE_JEMALLOC set? Does the server log anything about processing the uploaded assets and such? What do the GET responses for the album and the asset look like?
