All non-navigation actions (Show Snackbar, Create Document, etc.) silently fail to fire #7391

Description

Can we access your project?

  • I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

No action fires when a widget is tapped, EXCEPT "Navigate To" actions. This affects every widget I've tested, including a brand-new native Button on a brand-new blank page - so it is not related to a specific widget, Custom Component, or page. Navigation-type actions work perfectly; every other action type (tested: Show Snackbar, Create Document) does nothing at all - no visual feedback, no error, no network request, no console output.

Original issue this stems from: an "Add New" button on the StaffDirectory page (Create Document action, writing to the "invites" collection) does not fire when tapped in Run mode, despite a correct configuration. This appears to be one symptom of the broader bug described here.

Expected Behavior

The action fires as configured. Example: tapping the button shows the snackbar message "Works", and/or a new document is created in the "companies" Firestore collection with the specified field value.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new blank page (e.g. TapTest) with a single native Button widget.
  2. On the Button's On Tap trigger, add a "Show Snack Bar" action with message "Works".
  3. Add a second action on the same trigger: Backend/Database, Firestore, Create Document, targeting an existing collection (e.g. companies), with a simple field (name = TapTest Diagnostic).
  4. Run the app in a fresh Test Mode session (also reproduced in a full Run/production build).
  5. Tap the Button.
  6. Observe: no snackbar appears, no new document is created (verified directly in the Firestore Data Manager / CMS view, confirmed after a full page refresh), and no relevant console errors or network requests are logged. "Navigate To" actions on the same buttons/pages fire correctly in the same session.

Reproducible from Blank

  • The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Visual documentation

(Automatic image upload isn't working from my end right now, so describing what the screenshots show instead - happy to attach the actual images in a follow-up comment if needed.)

Screenshot 1 - Action Flow Editor for the Button's On Tap trigger: shows "Action 1: Show Snack Bar" (Snack Bar Message value = "Works") and "Action 2: Backend Call > Create Document" (targeting the "companies" collection) both configured correctly on the same trigger.

Screenshot 2 - Firestore Data Manager / CMS view of the "companies" collection: after tapping the button multiple times in both Test Mode and a full Run build, and refreshing the CMS view, no new "TapTest Diagnostic" document appears - confirming Create Document silently did not execute.

Also confirmed via the browser's Network and Console panels: tapping the button produces no relevant network request and no console output at all - not even an error. Meanwhile, a separate "Navigate To" action on another button in the same project fires immediately and correctly every time.

Environment

- FlutterFlow version:  Latest (as of Aug 2026, checked via app.flutterflow.io)
- Platform: Web (FlutterFlow Test Mode and Full Run/production build)
- Browser name and version: Google Chrome (latest)
- Operating system and version affected:  N/A - reproduced in-browser (Web); not tied to a specific desktop/mobile OS

Additional Information

This is a core-functionality blocker: it prevents any non-navigation action (Create/Update/Delete Document, Show Snackbar, etc.) from working anywhere in the app, including the original "Add New" invite-creation flow on our Staff Directory page. Users cannot create records, show feedback, or perform most interactive actions at all - only page navigation works. This makes the app unusable for its core purpose until fixed.
