CWF Bug Tracker added!

Post by Maz »

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.

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 :D

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? 8)

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).

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 :)

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. :)

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

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.

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 ;)
