Directory tour step doesn't load #128

Closed adierkens closed 3 years ago

adierkens commented 3 years ago

When trying to record or play a tour, nothing happens when you hit a directory step. I attached a video of me trying to record a tour that includes a directory step as well as playing it back. I would expect to see an means of editing the description of the step as well as something displayed when that step is reached in the play-back.

Ah interesting. Looks like we regressed directory steps. I'm taking a look right now!

@adierkens Thanks for creating this issue, Adam. Out of curiosity, what were you planning to use CodeTour for? We are trying to optimize the product for some common usecases, especially for developers who want to maintain tours.

There's 2 different use-cases that I was looking into

The first was around first-time contributors to one of the frameworks I work on. I was thinking it would include a few different tours that scaled from intro/getting started (basic install, build, test), then a project overview/structure, basic data-flow, and maybe a few more detailed walk-throughs of some of the more complicated sub-systems.

The second use-case I was looking into was one around how to onboard to the project. Maybe start with an empty repo (or basic create-react-app) and use a codetour as a self-guided tutorial to onboard to the framework.

This has now been resolved in the latest extension release: v0.0.44. It's being published to the marketplace right now and should be available for update in the next few minutes. Thanks again for reporting this issue, and please let us know if you run into any other problems 👍
