Note ID AssertionError when adding notes on Anki 2.1.28+

[zjosua]

Problem description

When creating new notes with overlapping clozes, there is an AssertionError (see below), because there is no id for the new note yet.
I think that the issue was introduced with ankitects/anki@f637ac9#diff-4a37772b551db2baaf677e04d51a3c04, but I'm not sure.

Checklist

• I've restarted Anki to see if it helps
• I've verified that I use the latest version of the add-on by redownloading it from AnkiWeb
• I use Cloze Overlapper's commit 9eabb6a built with aab
• I've verified that I use the latest version of Anki by checking at https://apps.ankiweb.net#download
• I run Anki from source
• I've tried to disable other add-ons to see if there are any interactions present
• My issue disappears when I hold shift while starting Anki.
• I've checked if anyone else reported this problem before by looking through the issue reports. I also checked to see if there is a section about known issues in the add-on description, documentation, or README.

Thanks for catching this so early @zjosua (and sorry for taking so long to get to it). A fix will land in the upcoming v1.0.0-alpha.1 release.

[glutanimate]

Fixed in the current development branch.

[Qonrad]

Fixed in the current development branch.

Is the development branch on GitHub? I'm only seeing the master and anki20 branches.

[mhrsolanki2020]

Fixed in the current development branch.

Is there any way for us to participate in testing in the development branch?
