Description
Current behavior
When creating a run-once snippet, it runs on every save, despite the fact the I just click the “save changes” button(!)
I test with a simple snippet like:
error_log("Test!!");
I make a change and hit execute. This saves and runs the snippet as expected.
Then I make another change eg error_log("Test 2!"); and only hit “Save Changes”. But in the logs I see the new message Test 2! that have never run before. That means that the snippet ran, even though the user just clicked save.
Please note that this happens only after the the snippet is saved and the run once was deliberately used at least once
Expected behavior
When saving a run-once snippet then the snippet should not run and only run when the save and execute button or execute once button is pressed
Steps to reproduce
- Create a php snippet and add some code like above
- Select Run Once and save - check code has run
- Make changes and click save - code will have run again
