[BUU] [Infinite loader] - Remove Stimulus Reflex from Products Page

[dacook]

In some circumstances, the new bulk edit products screen will fail to load products, leaving an infinite loader, and a poor user wondering if anything was still happening.

• Split from [Background reports] Infinite loader #11752 because these issues have different impacts and will be solved separately

Action Items:
Remove SR From:

• Product screen loading, filtering and saving ([BUU] Remove Stimulus Reflex from Products screen #12328)
• Product delete action ([BUU] Don't reload whole table when deleting products or variants #12398)
• [BUU] Remove SR from clear search button #12551

Steps to reproduce

This was last replicated on fr_prod, at approx 9:30am AEST: #11752 (comment)
Sometimes it works fine, but maybe if the server is busier, it doesn't.

Reopenning because we need to finish removing SR and then do a prod test.

lowering to s2 as this is behind a feature toggle

Updated the Description to include the remaining action items from #12328

I'm assigning this to myself to work on the remaining items.

Thanks @chahmedejaz.
For the Delete action, @anansilva has already been looking at an overlapping issue: #11987

That would include replacing SR with Turbo, which is actually a pretty big task. We could consider breaking it up, but I suspect it will be necessary to work through it one part at a time anyway. Maybe we can discuss that in Slack.
I think it's ok for this but to wait for that to be done.

For Edit Image, it's not actually triggering this issue (it doesn't use SR for reloading the products), so we can handle that separately. I do think we should create an issue for it, so will go ahead and create that now when I get the chance.

Thanks @dacook for the the heads-up.
I'll discuss with Ana on this before moving any further with this one. :)

Edit:
Previously, I was on the believe that it would provide a better code base for her to work on that issue, once we remove SR from the delete action. But let's discuss it first, no worries.

Thanks for being proactive on this one Ahmed! I've created a separate issue for edit.

Groan, we missed one more little use of StimulusReflex, I've added a new issue to the list at the top.

I'm not sure if this is still an s2 or BUU1 issue though, I think we can de-prioritise and consider as tech debt instead.

In any case, it's probably a quick fix so I won't spend too much time deliberating it. I've not added any labels to the new sub-issue yet.

[RachL]

I'm closing this issue: let's keep subissues only. If subissues are a blocker we can raise them as s2, or re-open here if we really have a lot of them and need grouping 👍 .
