 Hi all,

 the BSA has been broken for several weeks. Meanwhile also the link from

 the Document Foundation Bugzilla main page.

Ayup, that's intentional.


 Is it intended to fix the problems with the BSA at all?
 Or is intended to use a guided-bug-entry-skin (2) as it was asked in the
 ESC minutes from 2015-01-29?

We've been discussing using the guided mechanism within Bugzilla
since... a couple years ago? Now that we've migrated, this is a real
possibility.


 I would appreciate if there will be again a guided possibility to report
 bugs. I think particularly for users with less English knowledge and/or
 if they are unexperienced bug reporters, this would be a great help.

 (1) http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/feedback/
 (2)
 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOfficeformat=guided

Indeed, indeed. The Guided forms are definitely something that we're
currently investigating. If you'd like to help out with setting-up
these forms, we'd love the help. Just ping me back and we can chat :-)

 Hey Joel,

 When Calligra Words crashed on me, their step by step bug report was fun
 to go through.

 About your doc, here are some thoughts.

 1) I'm assuming that many users coming to the BSA are coming through the
 Help  Send Feedback menu item and the libreoffice version number will
 be provided through this link, so the first question should be for the
 user to enter in the libreoffice version they are using and that the
 list be automatically set to the version present in the link. After the
 user selects his version, or simply clicks ok as his version is already
 selected, then either it takes him to the 'please upgrade your version'
 notice or step 2.
 Not sure I'm following this.

About suggestion 1, when a user goes to Help  Send Feedback, its a link
that looks like this 
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/feedback/?LOversion=4.4.0.0.alpha0LOlocale=en-USLOmodule=StartModule
 and in the LOversion part of the url, that is the libreoffice version
number, so that should be used to automatically set it in the drop down.

Forgot to mention that in the 'Reproducible Steps:' step, the module
selection should be there as well, and the link mentioned above will
also help in its auto selection.

 2) I think we should ask them to download the latest stable/still
 version if they are running an EOL version or if they are on an older
 version of the current stable/still.
 I strongly disagree - if it's fixed in Fresh - that is sufficient 95% of
 the time (ie. we're not going to go dig through to find a backport if
 stable isn't fixed). The idea here is to lessen the load on QA, not to
 increase, and this would increase it. Else they download stable, confirm
 that their minor bug is still in it, report, we find that it's fixed in
 Fresh, and just set to WFM. This is not the ideal situation. They can
 always download stable - we'll just direct them to the Fresh page, if
 they go to the Stable branch, fine.

 3) Step 2 should be asking the user for his operating system, with that
 being automatically selected by means of javascript through the user's
 browser agent (florian already has that code).
 Takes more work to implement. Florian's thing is a concept, not
 currently workable without additional steps by user.

The main point here is that step 2 should be the user choosing his
operating system and the javascript can assist with that selection. If
the javascript is never implemented, that is also not a problem for this
to be step 2. This should be very easy to implement and Liongold or I
can assist with it with Florian's code.

 3) Step 3 should be asking them if this is a bug report or an
 enhancement request and this step should be skipped if the user clicks
 the two different links on 
 http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/feedback/ , as presently they link
 to the same page.
 Again this takes more work and coding WITHIN LibreOffice but I'm not
 opposed to the idea.

I'm assuming cloph or Liongold can easily make this minor change and
worst case, i'll can do it if i get the keys. :D

 4) Step 4 is only for users who are submitting a bug report and that
 asks them if this bug had happened in a previous version and shows the
 version list with the first entry being something like i'm not sure.
 Yup agreed.

 5) I think it would be great to have bug priority set by simple yes/no
 questions, but think that is the job of the QA team to set that feature,
 and a simple yes/no question of whether it hangs/crashes is sufficient
 for BSA bug reporters.
 This would just set a quasi setting that could always be changed, I
 disagree that we can't ask users to help us. Else - the reality is we
 don't have the time to even triage bugs let alone deal with prioritizing
 them. A rough idea through 4 questions seems fine and if users are
 unhappy answering 4 simple questions, I have little patience for taking
 my time to triage their bugs.

 Joel

Joel,

Question about the second step.

2.What was the earliest version of LibreOffice that showed this bug?

If there is only to be a checklist for this question, it is important to 
offer the option I have not done the steps which caused the bug until 
this version. and/or This is the first version of LibreOffice I have 
used.


I think it isn't wise to make a person think they are remiss for not 
encountering a bug during the earlier versions of LO.


The rest of the sequence seems logical and easy to follow, especially 
for a novice bug submitter. Will this sequence put off a veteran submitter?

Hi guys,

I just updated the BSA to fix the Chrome/Safari bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72497

As well as merging-in the updates to the version field
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71150

Joren says that everything works, so I trust him. But just in case, it
would be great if a couple of other people could confirm that
everything is working as expected.

In particular, we should make sure that everything is working properly
for the French BSA.

Thanks!

[Libreoffice-qa] BSA conversations at Hackathon

2013-09-26 Thread Robinson Tryon
Hi all,

Reporting-in from the hackathon in Milan regarding some discussions
we've had about the BSA.

---

Passed-in Variables:

Right now the BSA doesn't receive any variables passed-in from LO due
to the way that it's embedding in an iframe, but Cloph and Rob think
that we can solve that problem by taking most of the BSA out of the
iframe, and just using the (invisible) iframe for our communication
with Bugzilla.

Rob is pretty busy right now, but is hoping to get that implemented
soon (Rob: Any guess on timeframe?)

---

Version Removal:

Rob suggested that we remove the non-release versions from the Version
Picker. Given the makeup of our BSA users, that seemed roughly
reasonable to me.

Cor mentioned that we sometimes have special events where we ask end
users to download and test an 'rc, so in those particular cases we
might want to re-enable those versions in the BSA *temporarily*.

Thoughts? (Joel -- I know you'll want to chime-in here)

---

Simplify/de-clutter user interface elements:

After a user selects a Component, we could collapse the grid of icons
(perhaps fade them down and move them to one side?) and then enlarge
the icon of the selected component. This would make that interface
element less busy and keep the page cleaner when we start to add
more fields in the next steps.

[Side note: There are still multiple components for whom there is no
unique icon; I think that if we're going to have a grid of icons for
components, we need to have a unique icon for each one, otherwise the
inconsistency gets confusing]

---

That's all for now.

Cheers,

2013-09-21 Thread Rob Snelders

hi Jean,

Sorry for my slow responses.

Do you work in Windows, Linux or Mac? I only ever tried in Linux. But 
you need the packages xsltproc, tidy, make, perl and curl afaik. But 
many linux-distro's already have perl and curl.
When you have all that installed then it should work with a simple make 
all in the root of the project.
After the make open de file bug/bugs.html?skin=login for the english BSA 
in dev-mode (you can view the BSA but can't submit, and there is a 
dev-bar at the top)


If you are on another system the linux we should see what needs to be done.

@ Robinson (quoting 27.06.2013, 22:04):

 Where do we want these bugs to end up?

another consideration might be:
Do we want offer a platform to a Joe Average bug reporter to report
bugs against these versions? (Why?)

My suggestion from a QA perspective: We should. At least we should try.
If we get overwhelmed with NOTOURBUGs or FIXED in all other versions, we
should reconsider.

[Libreoffice-qa] BSA Versions - Update

2013-06-27 Thread Joel Madero
Hi All,

So Robinson has done a great job dealing with the ridiculous list of
versions we had on BSA - we had 90+ versions and are now down to 30 and
will soon be down to 27.

What we did was collapsed 3.3 and 3.4 into all versions (3.3 all
versions, 3.4 all versions). These are both way past EOL and we don't
expect a lot of people to be using BSA to report bugs against these.

Then we removed 3.5 pre releases, *we would also like to collapse 3.5 to
3.5 all versions **as it has also reached EOL.* I needed to emphasize that
to make sure people read it. What we know is that Ubuntu 12.04 is still
technically on 3.5 (which sucks for this particular clean up) but we'd like
to not have so many versions to confuse users. BSA is meant to be simple,
90+ versions was surely confusing, 20+ is better but still a lot.

Lastly, we removed 4.0.0 - 4.0.4 pre releases  4.1 alpha/beta releases.

I have added Bjoern to this as he's the one who might be impacted most
because of the Ubuntu issue.


If there are serious objections to collapsing 3.5 as well please let me
know as soon as possible as we hope to move forward soon.

Best,
Joel

P.S. This does add a little work for QA because if 3.5 all versions is
selected, we'd have to set it on FDO to the correct version. I think the
added work will be minimal and the benefit to user experience will be
substantial

Can we maybe make the wording more explicit e.g. reached EOL at TDF(*)? That
makes it easier to dispell urban myths that its not supported elsewhere. Same
for RHEL which AFAIK has the endless joy of supporting 3.4 on one of their
releases.

(*) best with the abbreviations spelled out, now that I think of it.

Where would this wording go? I think that's good to let people know but
trying to figure out where to put it as the list versions are all pretty
short. A tooltip might be useful, any thoughts here Robinson? We were
talking about this quite a bit earlier.

Yes, it would be nice to make this part more explicit.

It's a complicated situation, because Ubuntu/Canonical isn't
supporting 3.5 globally, but just for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Similar notes
go for 3.4 in RHEL.

Here's a good question: Where do we want these bugs to end up? Would
we like to see them reported in our infrastructure, or are we more
than happy to have them reported to the distros and then upstreamed if
(and only if) they are still relevant to a modern release?

Hi Marc,

I don't think so, for 1 Bug all 3-4 years sub component all other 
problems should be sufficient ;-)


So it looks:

Thanks. I am just going over the bug reports on the website list. I'll 
take care of marking them fixed/closed (on the website list) when they 
are worked on. There just seemed so many of the BSA, but now I see that 
Rob (Snelders) is, as you say, taking care of these.


I am trying to keep up to the Website bug reports (that do not require 
coding skills :-))as they come in. I'll let Rob know if any of these on 
the website list have not been dealt with.


Thanks to all of you in QA for doing such a great job! I know it is 
pretty busy.


Cheers,

Marc

 hi QA people,
 
 i've come across a few bugs recently that had regression set but
 clearly were not regressions, sometimes with silly combinations of e.g.
 Version and Last Worked In being exactly the same version.

This is suspicious-making, but it could be perfectly right.  For
example in, fdo#58035 CRASH segfault from invalid SQL statement
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58035#c1 and fdo#47209
In SQL mode in Queries, Base crashes when a second SELECT followed by
quotes is entered.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47209 the difference
between crashing or not depends on whether you are using a debug or
non-debug build.  I say seems because the meaning of master
is--shall we say?--somewhat volatile.

 [snip]
 so i suggest to rephrase that Last worked in:.
 
 perhaps something like This problem did not occur when using this older
 version of LibreOffice ... which is too long but perhaps somebody finds
 a shorter formulation :)

Perhaps latest known-working version.  This would let one update the
field without knowing what versions in between do.

/me is pleased there is (perhaps) a simplish explanation for the jump
