[Original thread](https://web.archive.org/web/20110513083226/http://support.transloadit.com/discussions/problems/79-template-tests-fine-but-fails-in-production) Here is my template: ```auto { "steps": { "image_thumb": { "use": ":original" , "robot": "/image/resize" , "correct_gamma": true , "width": 232 , "resize_strategy": "fit" }, "image_full": { "use": ":original" , "robot": "/image/resize" , "strip": true , "correct_gamma": true , "width": 640 , "resize_strategy": "fit" , "watermark_url": "http://s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/image" , "watermark_position": "bottom-right" }, "video_thumbs": { "use": ":original" , "robot": "/video/thumbs" , "width": 232 , "resize_strategy": "fit" }, "video_encode": { "use": ":original" , "robot": "/video/encode" , "preset": "iphone" , "realtime": "true" , "width": 1280 , "resize_strategy": "fit" , "ffmpeg": { "b": "5000k" } , "watermark_url": "http://s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/image" , "watermark_position": "bottom-right" }, "image_export": { "use": ["image_thumb", "image_full"] , "robot": "/s3/store" , "key": "REDACTED" , "secret": "REDACTED" , "bucket": "my_image_bucket" , "path": "${unique_prefix}" }, "video_export": { "use": ["video_thumbs", "video_encode"] , "robot": "/s3/store" , "key": "REDACTED" , "secret": "REDACTED" , "bucket": "my_video_bucket" , "path": "${unique_prefix}" } } } ``` It works fine for images. With videos the video\_thumbs are created and returned in the results object, but video\_encode is missing from the results. Seems like it doesn’t wait for this step. The message is “The assembly is currently being executed.” Everything works perfectly in the test suite. Any ideas? ---

I could need some more information to help with this: Are you using the jQuery plugin? Can you give me an assembly id where the problem occurs? ---

Yes, I’m using the jQuery plugin. assembly\_id: “REDACTED” If I run the video\_encode step by itself, it runs fine… and if I run the video\_export step by itself with “use”: “:original”, it works as well… seems like the /s3/store robot doesn’t like the output from the video\_encode step… Again, it works fine in the test suite… so I guess it’s more likely its a plugin issue…? Thanks for the help! ---

Have you set “wait: true” as a plugin parameter? If not, the jQuery plugin will submit your original form as soon as the upload has completed. At this point the assembly may or may not have completed yet, and you have to use a notify\_url to get the final results. ---

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one to run into trouble with this. We’ll start working on a new version of the jQuery plugin at some point, and I think making “wait: true” the default might be less-surprising by default. ---
