# [Bug] Variations breaks checkout without javascript

 * Hello, I believe I found a bug with this plugin.
 * I recently added one variation to a woocommerce product, and now it’s no longer
   possible for visitors using Tor Browser (set to “Safest” mode) to order that 
   product.
 * When a user clicks the “Add To Cart” button (after selecting the required variation
   option), no item is added to cart. Instead, they see the following error at the
   top of their screen
 * `
    Please choose product options for <PRODUCT_NAME>.
 * Please notify your developers about this bug.

 * Hi [@maltfield](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maltfield/),
 * Thanks for the detailed report, and great catch reporting this directly on GitHub
   yourself, that’s really helpful for the dev team!
 * Totally understandable that you couldn’t test directly with Tor given the IP 
   blocking on your end; no need to chase that further. Since you’ve already filed
   [#66102](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/66102) and the team
   has confirmed it as a bug and assigned it, they have what they need to take it
   from here.
 * One thing that would help speed things along: could you add your site’s System
   Status Report to the GitHub issue, under the “WordPress Environment” section (
   currently marked “n/a”)? You can find it via WooCommerce → Status. Click Get 
   system report, then Copy for support (after scrolling down a bit), and paste 
   it directly into the issue, or link to a Pastebin/gist if you’d rather not paste
   it inline. That’ll give the dev team your exact environment details to help reproduce
   and verify the fix.
 * Thanks again for the clear write-up.

 * > Totally understandable that you couldn’t test directly with Tor given the IP

 * Just to clarify: I don’t block Tor.
 * A large number of my customers use Tor Browser, and I first confirmed this bug
   with Tor Browser.
 * Because Tor Browser is the most popular security-hardened browser available, 
   and because so many security-conscious customers use it for purchasing goods 
   on e-commerce sites powered by woocommerce, I highly suggest that woocommerce
   devs test your releases directly with Tor Browser (configured to “Safest” mode)

 * The woocommerce team hasn’t yet confirmed it. A bot assigned it automatically.
   There’s no indication that the woocommerce devs have seen it yet.
 * A third party offered to write a PR for it, but the woocommerce devs haven’t 
   yet responded.
 * I would appreciate it if you could raise this to the attention of one of your
   devs. And maybe let them know that this bug was discovered by a human — not reported
   by an AI bot.

 * Hi [@maltfield](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maltfield/)!
 * Thank you for providing more information about the issue. I can understand your
   concern.
 * I checked the bug report you submitted, and I can confirm that it has already
   been assigned to one of our team members, who is currently investigating the 
   issue. You should also be able to see that the GitHub issue has been assigned.
 * For now, I’d recommend waiting while our team completes their investigation. 
   They’ll provide updates directly on the GitHub thread as they become available.
 * Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
