Today I received the best bug report I could've ever asked for..
Received an email from a member of our customer service centre containing a description of the bug they'd found and not only did it contain the steps to reproduce the bug, but a goddamn video of him reproducing the suspected bug!
The greatest feeling when the client decides to take time to make your life that little bit easier24 -

Client: Urgent! App is crashing!
Me inside: Wtf, Crashlytics didn’t send me anything, it betrayed me...
Me: What’s wrong?
Client: Some random user sent me email that app is crashing SOMEWHERE(!?)
Me: ................................... no problem, I’m working on it.
*Tomorrow*
Me: Fixed, everything works fine now (didn’t do anything actually)
Client: Great, nice work!
Client never mentioned that “problem “ anymore.

Every week is the same. Wake up, new jira ticket. “Build us a pink house”.
*i build a house*
Next day, “URGENT BUG REPORT!!! CRITICAL ISSUE IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT”, click on ticket, “bug report: the house doesn’t have sprinklers”
They didn’t ask for sprinklers. This is not a bug. *i add sprinklers*
Next day, “URGENT BUG REPORT!!! CRITICAL ISSUE IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT ASAP ASAP ASAP”, click on ticket, “bug report: the house is pink.”

Colegue could not find data when running a very important report.
I did some research and found out that there was no data for for the month they searched . They ensured my boss that they did upload the data and that the program just does not work.
I spent two days of work trying to find out what the problem could be, under boss's pressure.
Still there was no data in the database or a record that there was ever any for that month.
The deadline passed. We got fined and only after that the colegue reilised that she had never generated the data, so there was not even data to upload.
Now it is my fault cause I never told her that she needed to do that.
I am the new guy and she has been working the same job for 7 years now. Like WTF1 -
Kudos to the devrant team for epic response time!

So today is Monday. A bug report comes asking to be fix. I feels weird reading the report. Then I check the codes.
SOMEONE MESSING WITH MY CODES!!!
The other developer codes a very un-dynamic function that gives birth to bugs. Know what? He replaced my original codes with his faulty codes. 😑 😐

Todays wtf:
My hometown's official website has a "report a problem"-form where citizens can report their problems. Fair enough, but instead of having some textfield(s) for me to describe the address and/or location they instead provide a dropdown-list with *all* possible addresses (street&number) in town... the html source of that page weighs in at about 4.5MB(!)

A Month ago...
Me: when are you going to complete the report
Friend: we can do it in minutes
Me: you can't Ctrl + c and Ctrl +v as there is plagiarism check
Friend: we have spin bot
Me: you do that now itself . if something happens? You can join me .
Friend: just chill
Now ...
Me: done with report
Friend: feeding it to spin bot!
Feeds text related to database security....
Spin bot:
Garbage collector == city worker
SQL statements == SQL explanation
SQL queries == SQL interrogation
SQL injection == SQL infusion
Attack == assault
Malicious == noxious
Data integrity == information uprightness
Sensitive == touchy

Me: told you so...

Dear people who leave bad reviews...
Do not use a review as a bug report, saying something crashes on your device and telling the developer to "fix this" isn't a review.
It is barely a bug report but a review is on quality, not individual issues .-.3 -
So I'm job hunting and trying to beat ATS systems like the cool programmer I try to be.

Im getting more and more bugs in devRant on my LG G2.
- Links cannot be opened
- profiles can not be viewed
- double tapping a rant opens the rant twice (tapping five times opens it 5 times) instead of voting it up.
- once in a while an opened rant shows up again under all the comments (with all comments as well). When this happens its exactly the ammount of comments.
Im not sure where to report this. If @dfox could take a look at this?

Start raising tickets/bugs like you were going to the doctors and things would get fixed a lot faster.
X page doesn't work.
Great information there what about the page isn't working?
Doesn't answer the question and gets pissy when you have to ask them again.
If this was a doctor's appointment all you would've done is walked into my office and yelled it hurts over and over.
Then proceeded to shit on my floor as you're leaving because I didn't diagnose the problem fast enough.
What were you trying to do when the system took a crap?
What did the red text say?
Can you take a screenshot? because the old saying a picture paints a thousand words holds some truth.
If you can go to the doctor and give them a full run down of when you got sick and what symptoms you got in the same order they happened why do you struggle to do the same when reporting a bug.5 -

I am the old famous kiddy here, who just came back days before school exam starts^^
Just to say, I want to ask you all, is it ethical(?) to release a hacking/cheating creation tool for games for educational™ purposes?
I have been making a cheat creation tool called Mysterium, but I am not sure where to use it. I made cheats for some big title games, and reported them to the developers, patched, and got some in game items in return....
Long story short, is it okay to release to the public, or should i release this product to game developers?
Sincerely,

>makes a bug report about the JS linter in Eclipse Che not working
> makes it a P2 bug (moderate severity)
> confirms in their current implementation it doesnt work
> escalates to P1 (high severity)
wow for once Eclipse is actually making their shit better -
So what's up with some devs, QAs and managers that create bug tickets with little to no information on what is the actual bug? I can semi-understand in the case where you document it only for you to read later.
Fuck you if you think that a ticket with only a title saying "fix all the bugs for this release" or "this feature is not working" is an appropriate way of documenting a bug.
Fuck you even more if when you are being asked to provide more info to reproduce the issue so someone else can actually be sure it is fixed or not (environment, steps, expected result, actual result, etc.), you simply say that you don't have the time for it and documenting tickets is a waste of time.
Hiring YOU was a waste of time!4 -

iAPPLIED CS UNIVERSITY, DAY 1 (2018-09-24)
11:00 UTC+3: Arrived at the secretary's office to complete my registration. I met quite some people; I forgot the names of some. I spent some time over there, so I took the 13:00 class instead of the 11:00 one. It's still early, so we pick whichever we want.
13:00: Procedural Programming at the Computer's lab. The computers were running Windows 8.1! 😱 I might connect to my laptop via RDP. It would be very cool. The course was about C, but the first time was just an introduction. We are going to use Code::Blocks. We were also explained the (HTTP only) web platform in which we are logged in via our passwords and submit our assignments. The professor was very nice, but this day at least was very boring. I was watching CodeMinkey cartoons, trying to solve AdLitterams.
18:00: Back for Applied Mathematics I. At the same computer lab. No lesson did happen, because we have to s learn theory stuff first (every Friday I think). Back to home.
Tommorrow is going to be a hard day...:wq1 -

So I've spent all day chasing around this issue for a coworker who was trying to help a client with a new report they were deploying to their system.
Now I learned a couple of things today because of this. Due to moving buildings, our new network completely broke our report server because the DNS can't resolve it's name. Since we're rewriting this system from the ground up, I haven't been majorly concerned about getting this fixed, but with this coming up, being persistent, I'm glad I figured it out. IT did give us a static IP for this VM, but they never bothered to add a DNS entry for it, so for the past couple of months, this hasn't worked for some reason, and now that's why.
So the root cause of my issue can been seen from 2 directions, the dev of the report, and the dev of the UI that reads it. The dev who wrote this code originally is checking very specifically for 'asc' and 'desc', meanwhile my mans who wrote the report has his order by with 'ASC' where he needs it.
(MAN, THE PREVIOUS DEV WAS GREAT)
I'm glad I was able to help him, but god damn, that took all day, AND TO FIND IT WAS A CAPTIALIZATION ISSUE, AAAAAAAAA FUCK ME -

Bug Report / Feature Request.

Bug report workflow for our customer support department.
1. Use eyes
2. Use brain
Just printed as poster -
"Please provide steps to reproduce" seems to be the catch-22 when people try and kick up a fuss about a bug I'm certain doesn't exist.
It's funny because then they report the bug, they word it like I've ruined their life, that can simply cannot continue to function until this error is fixed, yet those simple magic words "Provide steps to reproduce" seems to put their prioritise back into perspective or at the least scares them back into the void from which they came. -
I have a non-dev colleague that created a report in our pseudo-self service viz tool. Shortly after creating and forwarding said report, he submits a ticket stating "the data, in the db is wrong. Every time I run my report, the sum (of a numeric column) is five time more than (and here is the funny part) when I run the SQL in developer!" My response, after reading this ticket: "it is the same data, from the same db, and the same tables! CHECK YOUR JOINS!!!!" His response: " found the issue. My bad! The report used outer joins vs' inner joins." Then he resolved the ticket!

So instead of being busy with my internship I just start a random side project. The advantage is that I don't think about the reports and the disadvantage is that I don't think about the reports... so at the moment I just don't want to do anything at all.
What I meant to say is, please keep in mind that it's not all about work. Just do stuff that you like, but make sure you have the right balance between it. I just started too late with a relaxing side project and lost track of time and now I only can work on my reports, writing 10 lines a day or so..1 -
My devRant app crushes quite often on iOS 12.1. Is it a well known problem or not?
Also, the emoji keyboard sometimes jumps back to English keyboard instantly without press anything5 -
I see Modify button instead of Report on others comments in rants that I also commented. (But the resport dialog pops up)

"When I try make a change, system XYZ is not happy do you know why?"
Really? That's all you're giving me to go on? -
I just send an entire report out to one of our customers this afternoon...
Only to realise now that I accidentally used Comic Sans...4 -
@dfox devRant search seems a tad iffy - if I search for "wk19" I see results for pretty much every weekly rant, not just wk19 ones.3

@dfox Bug report:
Noticed a problem with the app counting the characters in comments. 3 or 4 times I’ve tried to write a comment that comes down to single digits remaining.
When trying to post I get a message like:
“Oops something went wrong trying to post your comment. It’s probably blank”
But, according to the counter, it should have been fine.3 -
Bug report
Using a physical keyboard seems to prevent me from being able to complete a post. I can open both a comment and new rant, type the contents but am not able to post. The button doesn't do anything.
Switching off the keyboard seems to cause strange behaviour (deleted this rant the first time I was trying)
My setup:
Moto z play android 7.0
SwiftKey keyboard app
Logitec K810 Bluetooth keyboard3 -
If a pentester find a very critical bug and the boss is not aware of him knowing this type of exploitation (no one is expecting him to find such flaws)
Should he report it ? Or reporting will make him suspicious ?4 -
Devrant app bug report:
You can see the type content selection menu through the UI
To reproduce:
1. Have the rant of the week banner
2. Open type selection menu
3. Close the rant of the week banner
4. Now the menu is behind the rants

That moment when you type each time at the end of line a semicolon although you write your report.2

Why the fuck would you disable editing comments in a bug report? There goes 2 hours of my fucking life trying to edit two sentences

Just been writing my project report, because I'm a student and reports are necessary -_-. To use to working in visual studio and just ended a sentence with;3

"This vendor system is broken and we need the data in its DB. Here's a report used to use from it. Build a new report in SSRS that we can use to pull out all the records."
+1 day tearing apart their data warehouse to find where things are.
+1 day duplicating their sample report
"Well, you did a good job duplicating what we had, but we want something that will pull every single bit of possibly related information that's in the system, and not just what was on the report we gave you."
ffs!1 -
Your project is never complete. There will always be one business guy who'll report a feature as a bug.

Once in school, a teammate couldn't contribute real work, and is wiring the report. I asked him to write about how ABC should be like DEF, and those exact words appeared on the report draft.
-
Typing a report and I still end it with semicolons. Faaak I just want to get back to coding with vim...

Did this interview with a tester for internship. Started to get the feeling that this person maybe should have chosen another education.
On the question: "What do you like with testing?", the answer was "Designing templates for bug reports".
Guess it's gonna be a quite boring career.
And no, we didn't hire. -
@dfox Is it a bug that whenever i open the devrant app i automatically go to the latest post in full mode?? I never see the list view. (I run android 6.0.1 oxygen os)2
-
Bug report: on Android, when checking your profile and you scroll all the way to the bottom, it's impossible to scroll back up. It just gets stuck. @dfox4
-
@dfox For some reason I can no longer scroll up once I have reached the end of my profile page. I have to reach that certain point so that I'm unable to scroll up.5

!rant I saw a report from Slashdot concerning mspaint that it is not going awaycompletely. It will be in the windows for free to download.

So in my last rant I mentioned an ERP. This is its story:
When I started, all paperwork (including invoices, delivery slips, orders to suppliers etc.) was done on Word and some Excel, no specialised software whatsoever.
At some point (I already worked there for 2 years then), it became too much even for our boss, so he decided to spend some cash on the real deal.
After some looking around, he found software that seemed right (same vendor as our external bookkeeper used, so it would work with him too, nice). In order to save some money, he purchased it in Germany, as they offered a smaller product costing way less (we were based in Switzerland).
Once installed, we realised that this product was only meant to be used within the EU, as it only supported € as a currency and German VAT rates. We needed Swiss Francs and local VAT to work as well.
His solution looked as follows: I had the task to edit all forms via built-in MS Report Builder (god does it suck) to display the string CHF instead of €, and alter the on-sheet excel-like functions to use our VAT rates. Internally, the application of course still thought it was using € etc. For that reason, all output was unusable for bookkeeping, so we (as before) would just hand it in on paper.
If he had purchased the version sold here, all of the above would not have been the case, meaning support for multiple currencies and VATs, as well as direct transfer to the bookkeeper. He hardly saved 15k, in exchange for a non-working solution.2 -
Remember report a bug? Once I had a guy report a cockroach he saw in his kitchen that morning 😂😂 people are great1

Services with newsletters, you need this "unsubscribe" button to be clearly set, since "report spam" is 2 seconds faster to find. And the last email you send confirming that i unsubscribed may assure that i will report you as spam.

Need some opinions, what error reporting tool do you guys use? I used bugsnag before. Now I found a bunch of them I can't seem to decide which one to go for. Thanks in advance 😣😣1

Lighthouse report from nodejs cli is rendered by javascript. Seriously, it's a report. Easy on the javascript.

If my manager asked for an update only on ONE report on projects, I think he'd be a perfect manager. Right now, I'm having to update FOUR different things for everything I work on: an institutional ticketing system, management's summary view page for the same ticketing system, weekly report, and my personal logging journal.
-
@dfox could you switch the position of report and reply button it is very hard to reach when the screen is large and only have one hand4
-
Fuck SSRS!
Fuck rsweb:ReportViewer!
Fuck MS Report Builder!
Fuck the people on the internet that made this all seem like it was feasible and easy!5 -
Not even funny when QA is testing a module -> they find a bug -> report the bug and forget rest of the functionalities that are actually working!3

Can we change report and response sides on comment?
Everytime I click report because it's on right side. I think right side is noble (UX talks) and in others apps, very, often you comment on right side.1 -
At the club, only one sitting... will spectate and bring intel when possible... think I'm spotted will report asap

Just discovered someone I told about a hack for the computers in school (nothing difficult just booting from a USB) had a link to C2K the company that provides the system and told them about it and now they've patched it up, so in a way, it's my first security vulnerability report, in another way, I can no longer play games and program in free

Does someone has the same problem? I ticked all notifications but it still shows that there should be one...

I'd like to record incidents, problems, changes, events and other stuff that occurs in our company so we have a record of everything that happened in the past. Is there an app/software for such thing? What do you guys recommend? Other than ticketing.2

Is this a devRant bug?
I have a persistent (1) on my in-app notification bell (Android). I can't find any unread notification. It should be a comment notification. Maybe somebody generated such a notif, my phone picked it up, and then the other person undid the action that lead to the notif? (E.g. un-++, remove a comment or mention, delete their account, ???).
I see the (1) notification to on the web, and I can't find the actual notification there either!5 -
I love Arch, but I've been trying to network print a school lab report for 20 mins now, which I should've spent writing the next one.2

@dfox wanted to fix a small typo but I think it got bugged out, it's been 8 hours since that post but I can't edit it

The report button is in the place where reply should be.
I'm a lefty and even I use my phone mostly with right thumb. Also it's very easy to report a comment without noticing (happened to me twice. Reported a perfectly legit and appropriate comment because of awkward report action placement.
IMHO opinion the report action should be placed anywhere else in the post but where it is now.1 -
defect report: "After updating, I can't make a field turn red when an error occurs"
me: "You could do that before the update!?" -
In final stage of vendor analysis review for new Enterprise Business Continuity tool. Teching out finalists now in sandbox. Will report analysis recap when completed.
-
QA raised several issues. I updated the code, now he’s struggling to reproduce those. Exceptions are working as expected! 😁2
-
Is there a reason sales people and managers think the request of, "The user would like a report" is at all helpful. I guess I will just write them a report that prints report on it.

Grrrrrrr!!!!!!! How you frustrate me SQL SERVER REPORTING SERVICES! Designing a report changed query on dataset to include new field, fields started displaying all sorts of random stuff, booleans in text fields etc. Just spent 20 mins "checking" by rebuilding the first few bits of report and first dataset it's something weird with SSRS. Bye bye Sunday evening!!!

Quickly! I've got a report due in about 2 hours, I've got the data and already some charts generated with tools.
Now, I need a nice timeline generator for calculated data. Something where I can plug in times and durations — and get back a fancy looking timeline. Similar to what Chrome dev tools does for network inspection.6 -
@dfox you may have a layering problem. I can see the "algo - new - ..." under the posts when i first start the app. I'm on a galaxy s4 mini. Hiding/Showing the bar fixes it.

There is a bug that's annoying me for too much time now. If you press on a tab like 'week' and then quickly on another one like 'day' top weekly rants still show up.
