I was not able to reproduce this on try. Upload worked fine, as did copying the url.

Are there any other errors in the browser console when you try to copy the url?

I'm able to upload and copy the URL on try.vikunja.io now as well but the problem still exists on my instance.

I see no error in the console though.

@Bouni Are you running unstable?

All the other functions (download, delete, preview) work as expected.

My workaround for now is to preview and right click -> copy image url.

Is it maybe related to the copy to clipboard functionality!?

Is there another place where vikunja utilized this function so that I can verify my guess?

Copying a share link uses the same code.

The only difference I can spot between my instance and try is that my instance runs locally without https where try obviously uses https ...

If it works on try but not in the release that means it's already been fixed in the development branch. I'll check if that's what has happened here.

I'm not sure if unstable = dev branch but I tested with image: vikunja/frontend:unstable and the problem is the same.

Unstable is the dev branch. Everything is explained here: https://vikunja.io/docs/versions/

BTW. I am also running locally without HTTPS.

As it turns out, the js clipboard api we're using to put the url into the clipboard is only available in "secure contexts". This means you'll need to access Vikunja via https or copying won't work.

It looks like this is nothing Vikunja can fix, therefore I'll close this issue.

I created a fallback that uses the deprecated document.execCommand('copy'): vikunja/frontend#2343

Since it's currently widely supported I guess that's a fine compromise.
