Catalog is empty #780

Open melissa-z opened 4 years ago

melissa-z commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure why my catalog is empty (I wasn't able to fix it by refreshing). Also, how is this more useful than Dashboard's TreeView of the documents, or Search's SchemaView? It feels like unnecessary duplicated information. I don't think I really understand the purpose of the catalog, and do not think it'd be useful for students, particularly beginners, using Dash.

not sure what's happening for you there, but the catalog is nothing more than a pre-defined search over the DB that should show all of your documents wherever they may be. so if nothing is showing up, it's a bug.

I think I figured out the problem. We're searching the db for your email -- but emails that have a '-' in them are probably messing up the search. Not sure if this is an easy fix or not, but for now it might be good for your to change to a different email login.

I made some more accounts with and without an underscore, and that definitely seems to be the cause of the problem, catalog works fine with emails without underscores. This might be a problem for the seminar since all our Brown emails come with underscores :(
