Problem description

After clicking on an Action that is set to redirect to a download attachment URL (that will open the download dialog) inside a modal, then closing the modal, the modal reopens one time.

Expected behavior

That the modal does not reopen at all.

Steps to reproduce

In the reproduction repository:

• composer install, php artisan key:generate, php artisan migrate --seed
• Head to /admin
• Login as [email protected] password test
• Click on the "Test" page
• Click on the "Actions" header action in the top right
• Click on the "Download" Action (will try to download Github Desktop)
• Cancel or Accept
• Click "Close"
• Note the modal reopens. Close again
• Modal closes properly

The related code is in app/Filament/Pages/Test.php:

Action::make('actions')
    ->modal()
    ->extraModalFooterActions([
        Action::make('download')
            ->action(function() {
                // This works, but causes the containing modal to reopen when it is next closed.
                // I cannot use url() instead of action() because I also need to run other logic.
                $this->redirect('https://central.github.com/deployments/desktop/desktop/latest/win32');
            })
        ])

You should be able to use URL with a closure?

->extraModalFooterActions([
    Action::make('download')
        ->url(fn($record) => 'https://central.github.com/deployments/desktop/desktop/latest/win32')
        ->openUrlInNewTab(),
])

The problem is the url method runs on page load so the link tracking I'm trying to implement is triggered on page load as well, which makes the data unusable. Additionally, using the url method seems to ignore the action method. That makes sense since it's probably an action underneath but means I have no hook for the code I need to run.

But the url isn't accessed on page load....

Tested locally in my project, and the url method is being triggered when the modal is opened. So not page load, but still before I need it to trigger.

the url should be loaded but not opened, tracking should only work on a page load. Unless you are tracking for where the url is loaded in the DOM

I need to track when the url is accessed. This is a Download button, and we want to know how many people have downloaded the content item. By putting the tracking code in the url method, it gets run when the modal is opened which does not mean they have actually accessed the button yet. When using the url method, the action method is ignored, which is where I would put the tracking code if it was still run. Where can I place my tracking code so that it is run when the button is actually pressed?

// This runs the tracking code when the modal is loaded, assuming to prep the URL
->url(function() {myTrackingCode(); return 'https://url.com';})

// This doesn't run the action()
->url('https://url.com')->action(function() {myTrackingCode();})
