[BUG] TypeError when creating lodging: "can't access property images, g() is null" - UI not updated after successful POST

[BaptisteWolff]

Bug Description

When creating a new lodging entry, a TypeError is thrown in the browser console immediately after the form is submitted. The lodging is successfully created in the database (the API returns a valid object), but the UI is not updated to display the new entry. A page reload is required to see it.

Console error:

Error saving lodging: TypeError: can't access property "images", g() is null

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to a collection
2. Click to add a new lodging
3. Fill in the required fields (name, check-in/check-out dates, type)
4. Click Save
5. Observe the console error — the new lodging does not appear in the list
6. Reload the page — the lodging is present (it was correctly saved)

Expected Behavior

The lodging should be created and immediately appear in the UI without errors or requiring a manual page reload.

Screenshots / Logs

The POST /api/lodging/ returns a valid object:

{
  "id": "1387550f-b622-4a5d-8f51-98a99d327bb7",
  "name": "Test",
  "description": "",
  "check_in": "2026-05-15T00:00:00Z",
  "check_out": "2026-05-16T00:00:00Z",
  "type": "hotel",
  "is_public": true,
  "images": [],
  "attachments": [],
  ...
}

The issue is purely in the SvelteKit frontend — the returned object does not appear to be correctly injected into the component state after the POST, causing a null dereference when accessing .images.

Platform

Docker

Install Method

Docker Compose

AdventureLog Version

v0.12.0

Reverse Proxy

Nginx Proxy Manager

Docker Compose / Relevant Variables (Optional)

BODY_SIZE_LIMIT=52428800

Additional Context

This does not appear to be browser-specific (the error is a JS null dereference, not a Firefox-only behaviour). Tested on Firefox and Vivaldi.

After creation, the lodging appears under "Unscheduled items" instead of being attached to its scheduled date (May 15, 2026), despite check_in and check_out being correctly set in the API response.

Confirmation

• I searched existing issues and confirmed this is not a duplicate.

If connected with Immich Integration, the creation in the Frontend UI shows, that you cannot finish the creation of the Lodging

Console Error:

Error saving lodging: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'images')

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add immich integration with no local files
2. Navigate to a collection
3. Click to add a new lodging
4. Fill in the required fields (name, check-in/check-out dates, type)
5. Click Next
6. Observe the console error — the new lodging does not appear in the list (You cannot finish the creation)
7. Reload the page — the lodging is NOT present

Reverse Proxy

Caddy

Additional Context

The Lodging got created in the backend but will NOT be shown in the frontend ui, but it is counted in the statistics number on the side

I stumbled upon the error as described by @BaptisteWolff as well.

Running into this as well.

Hmm... I have tried both of these myself and have been unable to reproduce? Can you possibly share more info, thanks!

I'm seeing this as well as per @BaptisteWolff:

• Clicked "+" to add lodging to day of itinerary
• Dialog opens with dates populated
• Selected a random Travelodge geolocation
• Completed required field: "Type"=Hotel
• Clicked "Continue"
• Nothing (except error toast appears obscured behind dialog). Have to close dialog manually
  • if quick enough to close dialog before toast timeout it says "Failed to save lodging . Please try again"
  • Oddly, lodging rating sets itself to 5 stars???
• Lodging not assigned to selected day, or anywhere else in itinerary
• Refreshed page
• Lodging listed in "Unscheduled Items" even though dates are correctly displayed.
  • Info admonition to "Auto generate itinerary appears", supporting presence of correctly dated properties
• Can use the "Auto generate" or "Add to day" button to force lodging to correct itinerary day

Have screenshots if required but won't clutter the thread.

@seanmorley15 what info do you need to debug?

[seanmorley15]

I will give this a shot another time soon and let you know if there is anything else I need if I cannot replicate myself :)

I've run into the same issue and I can replicate it on my instance and the demo instance. I am currently trying to add ibis Styles Ambassador Incheon Airport and I get the same console error when trying to save as well as having the rating set to 5 stars
