Bug Reporting done better #1556

Open CSDUMMI opened 3 years ago

CSDUMMI commented 3 years ago

Having just now proposed an issue (#1555 after being confronted with the Error page of Invidious and I have some notes:

To copy this text ought to be easier. Perhaps there could be a little button to copy them directly to the clipboard?

Agree

Couldn't we setup some kind of Bug Tracker, that does not require you to create an account, a password and all that stuff?

Too much work for nothing.

Just an E-Mail to reach for updates on your bug?

See: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/1499#issuecomment-735281808

Another option would be, to save all these errors on a file on the instance's server or send them directly to an email provided by the administrator, who could then post issues here.

This still requires work from people. Most issues are reported on Github already, so really, this isn't a big deal.

How do you actually know that? I have only reported 1 bug here, but I have seen 10-15 times that already.

And if almost full automation was desired, we could also publish them directly to a board or mailing list, where people listen as they may please.

I use Invidious daily, and see most of the bugs.

10-15 times that already

How much had already opened issues?

Still require too much work for nothing + fragment the bug reports

Github issues are already a lot to manage. We're a small team of volunteers, with a HUGE backlog of problems to solve. Adding an extra thing to do, that won't ease issues management is just pointless.

Reopening because the following point is a good idea and we should implement it:

CSDUMMI commented 3 years ago

How can you do that via a button? I cannot find up-to-date docs on the subject.

CSDUMMI commented 3 years ago

You would do it like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
  <button id="copyBtn" onclick="copy()">Copy</button>
  <script>
    const value = "abcdef"
    function copy() {
        let clipboard = navigator.clipboard
        clipboard.writeText(value)
    console.log("copied")
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>
