URL hint is unclear while reporting an issue

[MrunalrajRedij]

In report screen, in a first textfield it gives hint as App name / URL. So I typed as it is, app name after slash the url of an app example: xyz / https://www.xyz.com But report form only accepts a valid URL as an input. Otherwise there is will be an exception returning Enter valid URL

While creating an issue I got that URL exception msg and I immediately thought it was an image uploading issue. Turns out images were working fine, single as well as multiple. But It was me who was entering incorrect URL.

Can we give more clear hints? or a separate textfields for app name and URL?

Hey i think you got it all wrong, it is basically either type the name of the app or its URL.

[MrunalrajRedij]

With this logic It should also take xyz / https://www.xyz.com as it is a string. And, I tried giving only app name and it gave me Enter valid URL exception with status code: 400.

I looked at the code. report_bug.dart: line 910

Issue issue = Issue(
                      ...
                      url: _titleController.text,
                      title: _titleController.text,
                      ...
                    );

So even if we input only app name, we are assigning it to the url field. There is no check happening for valid URL and condition to assign it to url field, if valid URL. And then server is returning the error because it is not a valid URL.

bro add http:// too in the url and it will work fine

[MrunalrajRedij]

That's what I am asking. So it's compulsory to give include https:// ? And one should not input only app name?

[Dante291]

yes for valid URL you need to add https:// also for app name i guess we need to correct it as currently we are using only URL to identify on what platform bug is occuring.

Sorry, I think I am not describing my issue properly. Looking at hint given, it looks like I can type either app name or URL as you too perviously mentioned.

But inputting app name alone will give an Invalid URL error from server. I don't think this is intended. Is it?

[Dante291]

Yeah gotta fix it, it should be only URL and onFocus hint text should be an example URL starting with https://

do you wanna work on this? or should i fix this?

[MrunalrajRedij]

yes for valid URL you need to add https:// also for app name i guess we need to correct it as currently we are using only URL to identify on what platform bug is occuring.

Okay, got it so URL is mandatory. I mean it's not too big on an issue but should the hint be remain as it is or changed? Also can we make two separate fields for app name and URL? I am guessing it will also require changing backend too.

For now fix this only
