CWF Bug Tracker added!

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:15

Zyx has found a bug tracker for CWF! You can leave bug reports and feature requests at

http://dev.curliesworldoffreeware.com/m ... w_page.php

I also added link to tracker on our main page. Please bookmark it, so if CWF is down, you can find the tracker and report the bug

Very cool. I just tried it out. This should keep it much easier to track bugs and see wether they are resolved. It seems we always end up discussing issues all over the place.

Please do notice that you can sign-up, but you won't get a password... at the moment. You will, however, get an e-mail telling that your password is blank and you can THEN login and change it.

If you sign-up, you will get additional rights to work on things.

@ Chroelle, could you create an account so I can assign bug corrections to you when necessary?

Post by **Chroelle** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 20:24

So...basically sign up for work...what happens if I dont

Yeah, I will go create an account.

I am awaiting a confirmation mail...

As Zyx said, don't wait.
Mail does not work. But you should be able to login with empty password, and once logged in you should be able to change the password

Oh, and I am getting addicted to reporting bugs - it looks like I am spending more time reporting bugs than fixing them ^_^; I need some treatment for bug/feature request reporting addiction

Should I report dead links to bugtracker? Ive found some in gameinfo pages.

What about small oversights. Like, for example, Parvini not being listed as submitter of FreeCol or factual errors that can happen here or there and need correction. Is bugtracker place for such tiny issues?

Post by **Chroelle** » Mon Mar 24, 2008 21:51

Well not rally I think. I think Parvini should be credited for Freecol so that could be added, but other than that I think we should make a thread in feedback about factual errors in gameinfopages. That would keep things visible and ready for editing.

You can also report errors in the game info pages to me as I can edit most of the stuff. But as the database always creates a duplicate of the developer info everytime I do so, I will only edit major mistakes at the moment. Something like dead links (but no small typos in the info text for example).

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 8:25

Please report all errors in bug tracker (unless you correct them right away when you spot them). That way they will be visible untill they're solved, and once solved, they can be easily removed by closing the problem. It is then also possible for anyone to check if there's bugs they can fix. And PA, please do not fix any small bugs with edit tool (dead links are considered to be small too). Just add them in tracker, and change their status to suspended. (If you haven't already created an account in tracker, please do so now). I assume Zyx's edit tool won't take long to be finished, and it should not create dublicates anymore

Pater Alf · Post by **Pater Alf** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:12

Ok, I'll do as you tell me. No more duplicates in the future. I will report everything that I see in the bug tracker (have to get used to it)...

And Zyx just wrote me a PM saying that the new edit tool is ready and I'm allowed to test it.

Post by **Chroelle** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 13:51

VERY COOL!
Looking forward to seeing it myself.

It seems I could use my very own Mantis Bugtracker at work...Is it hard to install? (In other words...Can I do it?)

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 22:39

I doubt mantis is hard to install. But it requires MySQL and php on a web server, and unless those are already available, well then there's some work to do.

Post by **Chroelle** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 23:02

My workplace runs on the exact same kind of webhotel we do. So you are saying it wont be too hard?

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 23:14

I have not set it up myself, but usually those are not too hard to set up. Actually there's often a setup script written in php, which can be opened by browser. Then you fill in some answers, and that's that. Or then you may have some SQL file to be executed, and a config file which needs to be filled manually. But I am willing to bet for the first option in this case

Post by **Chroelle** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 23:17

That is what I hoped for.

Enough offtopic for now. Thanks for helping.

One more thing...
Can anyone supply me with a WORKING LINK for download? I cant get teh download from sourceforge working...

Pater Alf · Post by **Pater Alf** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 12:27

I'm not able to login to the bug tracker. I neither received a confirmation mail nor am I able to login with a blank password...
