BUG: Government occasionally shuts down

[davatron5000]

I noticed a bug over the past week or so and it seems reproducible:

1. Go to U.S. Government.
2. U.S. Government is shut down.

Expected results: Government should be working.

I'm unable to debug or propose a fix since there's not an open, transparent stack trace. Conflicting error messages are being thrown as well.

Hope you can resolve this soon. It would seem that the U.S. Government would value 100% uptime in order to be a reliable and trustworthy source for the rest of the world.

Thanks! Love this project and would like to continue using it.

I can confirm that this is reproducible. Have you tried rebooting it?

YES

We could probably reassign this back to :gb:

My local installation of Government seems to be running as normal. There may be a problem with your configuration. Have you tried removing certain troublesome components and restarting?

[Gastove]

My branch of the government is also shut down; can confirm that this is affecting more than just master.

Looks like someone may have inserted some malicious congresspeople, can we issue a Pull Request to remove?

Love this project would like to continue using it.

This had me laughing out loud in the office. Thanks!

I think it's time to fork a new repo again.

Barack Obama, the lead developer should be assigned

Could be a FOR loop issue with init.Republicans?

If only contributors were allowed to rewrite history...

[pmgllc]

The sysadmin says it's user error. Arrogant like all sysadmins.

@JohnBoehner closed issue #3 as "#wontfix"

[dastels]

Typical proprietary bloatware. Trash it and find a simpler, lighter weight alternative.

php strikes again

[dansinker]

Can we elevate this bug to critical?

[betacar]

It's a ObamaCare exception trowed by Republican.all?

[dastels]

Sounds like a new distributed approach might be worth trying.

[VinSpee]

Looks like new code added to the getter on healthCare() is causing some of the constitution tests to fail.

[dastels]

Rewrite, this time using logic programming.

@VinSpee naw, @SupremeCourt verified tests are passing fine.

[jakerella]

Confirmed, was able to reproduce. I think there may be a locking issue with congressional members.

[VinSpee]

@zachleat looks like that @SupremeCourt test was actually put in place by @BarackObama, might want to double check. Didn't @BigInsuranceCompanies actually write this code?

[gilesbowkett]

expecting to see this one closed with WONTFIX

[milani]

There is a resource consuming part that if removed, tests would pass and everything will be normal, military budgets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

I think I found the problem

while(congressIsFullOfAssholes) { };

[zacstewart]

No problem. It's now safe to turn off your government.

[annalee]

This issue seems to have been introduced upstream in https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators.

[morungos]

Have you tried turning off the security settings?

[cdl]

Confirmed. Oddly enough, the Canadian fork of this seems to be working fine.

[scotcrum]

To quote John Boehner: "How can we tax people who can't buy a product from a website that doesn't work?" (you can't make this stuff up...)

[megerman]

Who thought it was a good idea to assign DebtCeiling as a global variable? Can we deprecate?

Have you tried to upgrade to Democracy 2.0 or later?

[mletterle]

It looks like the kernel is still up, just some of the secondary modules seem to be unloaded. There seems to be some disagreement on which ones should be loaded by default...

[danielcgold]

It's baaad when that happens :sheep:

[jwilson85]

the method :

republicanAnswer(NSString)question (NSObject)party{ if( party.democratic){ return NO; }else if (party.republican){ return YES; }

seems broken

When I ran strace, I found fsync was hanging on /dev/passed-legislation/aca.

[GovInTrenches]

My local branch depends on the to budget_api to fund local resources. If that isn't restored soon, I'm going to get a critical error locally for VA, unemployment and other services.
