--- Comment #26 from badon <fastgoldf...@gmail.com> 2012-01-12 19:48:56 UTC --- So far I've only isolated the bug on a Special:RunQuery form. The other problems with SF could be the same bug triggered in different ways, or they could be entirely different bugs. We need to do more testing to figure that out, if Yaron hasn't figured it out already. If I had more familiarity with the inner workings of SF, I'd probably be much more effective at testing for bugs and isolating them when found, since I would know what the code is doing, and how to poke it to get it to misbehave. For example, I don't know exactly what makes a Special:RunQuery form different from any other form. If there is no difference, then I'd come up with a way to try my bug trigger on regular forms and see what happens. If they're different, I might have a guess about how to trigger it on different forms. I've got a lot of studying to do, I suppose. Eventually I'd like to be able to fix these bugs instead of just reporting them. I'm not familiar enough with PHP yet to do that, so I need to find a few months of dedicated time for study and practice to get up to speed. I'm not sure when or if that will happen. In the meantime I need to improve my bug testing methodology. I have experimented with keeping a record of each test and the result, in the order they occur. Once I've got a good habit-system of doing that, I'll be able to tell you right away what I did and didn't do. I'm not sure if I've tested section headers yet or not - I'm pretty sure I did, which is how I found my bug trigger - but I'll have to do it again to test your hypothesis. I think I'll have time to focus today on more tests of Semantic Forms. I'll report my results. I need to study the issues Ryan Lane was having, since I think he found a couple of bugs I had encountered, but haven't isolated yet. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
