Describe the bug

"No action selected." error is returned from the admin pages when trying to run actions like Archive via Safari.

Steps to reproduce

Open http://%HOST%/admin/core/snapshot/?p=1 page
Select a few entries by ticking the checkboxes.
Click the Archive button.

Screenshots or log output

Before:

After:

Safari 14.0.3 on latest Catalina update.
Content blockers disabled.
Cross-site tracking prevention disabled.
Extensions enabled are Instapaper and Bitwarden but should not affect this.

Console does not show any errors except the favicon 404s. This exact sequence of steps works perfectly well in FF, Chrome, Brave on macOS. DOES NOT work on GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) on Linux. I tried to searching for Django Admin problems with actions in Webkit but maybe I was not making specific enough queries to pinpoint this.

Interesting, I have not run into this myself in Safari on macOS Big Sur, but I'll check again on v0.6.

Fixed in 68a506e. Will be out with the v0.6 release. Comment back if you still have any trouble after that release is out and I'll reopen the issue.

Seems that this bug is back? Experiencing the same issue with the dev branch (and 0.6.2) on Safari 14.1 on Big Sur (11.3.1)

I can confirm this is still an issue with both desktop and mobile Safari, which makes it hard/impossible to use on an iPad.

Hi there. Any quick fix or workaround hack we can do for this in the meantime? I keep stuffing URLs into a note and then filing them via Firefox on my laptop, which is sub-optimal…

It's fixed in v0.6.3 @aidenmitchell , you can run the pre-release version safely by following these instructions: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#install-and-run-a-specific-github-branch

Great, thanks for helping test. I'm going to close this for now as fixed, anyone arriving here can do the same step to run the pre-release version early, or wait for the v0.6.3 release to land.
