P: Update Publish Collection Stalls

Workaround: Clicking on any standard Collection and then pausing for a moment will clear the error and the Publish Collection should finish publishing. 

The team has identified the issue and implemented a fix.  They are looking for 2-3 testers to join a special Prerelease area to test the fix. If you are interested, it will require the signing of an NDA and using the yet-to-be-released version of Lightroom Classic. You will also need to commit to providing feedback on the release quickly.  If you can meet these requirements - Direct Message me with your Full Name and Adobe ID. 

After about an hour of cranking on this, I was finally able to get my machine into a state where it will stall. Logging bug - setting status to acknowledged. 

Thanks!

Like @JohanElzenga I am not able to replicate this failure. Publish and republish are working normally on my Mac M1 - OS 12.1 with Lightroom Classic 11.2.  

Additional information or precise reproduction steps might help.  

I am having this exact same problem, I've actually developed a Publishing service and checked that it wasn't something my end on the server that had misconfigured but I was able to successfully emulate publishing photos. This latest version of classic is causing hang ups where the progress bar says it's at x% but actually only y% of photos have uploaded and in the grid view the ones that have successfully uploaded aren't moving down into the published section.

I've also found trying to remove a lightroom plugin from the plugin manager is also broken. I'm about to downgrade in hope that this fixes the issue.

Another lightroom update, another critical failure for workflows. Do any real working photographers test this software before it's released to the public?

I am experiencing the same issues using an M1 machine. Publishing to either ShootProof or Pixieset worked just fine before the update and now they stall out. And talking to support via chat...fundamentally useless.

I can't reproduce this. LrC 11.2 updates published folder on my MacBook Pro M1 Max as fast as it always did. Upgrade your version of MacOS, also for security reasons. MacOS 12.0.1 is out of date, the current version is 12.2.1.

I am seeing the same.  I publish modified photos on previously published collections to disk and it does a couple of photos then seems to hang.  I find clicking into other collections and then going back to the published collection seems to get the publishing process working again. Windows 10, Intel Core i9-10850K, 32GB RAM, Lightroom classic 11.2

Yesterday I updated LR Classic to version 11.2. Today I was going to update 3 images from one of my publish services, but the export took "forever". I restarted LR and tried again, but it didn't get any better. It took about 45 minutes to export these 3 images, which usually should take only a few seconds.

I restarted and tried again to republish some photos, but the export didn't start at all (no progress bar appeared in the upper left corner). 

There seems to be a bug with the export feature.
