Still got issues #85

Hi, I was trying to create another diagram and it didn't work. I have enter all the details (names, seats, colors), and when I clicked "Make my diagram", it said "Oops, your diagram wasn't successfully generated! Maybe you have more than 31061 seats. If not, please raise a bug report." in red. The diagrams I was doing weren't near 31k seats. Also, it seems it's not the first time it happened. That problem happened a month ago or so. Thanks in advance for solving it.

Hey there, can you give me the list of parties that you used? That will help me to find the bug.

InternauteLambda commented 3 years ago

I did not use any list from a specific country. I added them all by hand. The one I was working on was a town council with 13 different parties. And I made some like that before (some times with more parties than that) without any problem.

slashme commented 3 years ago

If you try to make the diagram with the exact same parties and the exact same number of seats per party, does it always fail? If so, I need to know the exact names of the parties so that I can see what's causing the trouble. For example, something that I need to fix (and will be fixing in the next few days) is that any party name with a comma causes a problem.

Well, I've tried to change different things, and still the same message. I've also created diagrams yesterday without changing the names or the default colors (just adding a number of seats) to see if the problem was solved, and still the same message. And the names didn't use any comas. Although, last week, I use the "&" sign and I got a different message reporting the problem than that one in red. I removed it then, and it was solved.

OK, I just tested, and it works for me. It might be that your browser is caching the old Javascript. Try doing a shift-reload of the page, so that it reloads everything without relying on the page cache.

InternauteLambda commented 3 years ago

It seems that my JavaScript is indeed having problems. I have this message showing in the JavaScript: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()" Problem is I'm not good at programming, so I don't know how to reload without the page cache. I'm using a new Mac.

I just checked, and on a mac, you can bypass the cache by holding down the shift key on the keyboard while clicking the reload button on your browser.

Awesome! It worked! Thank you very much!

So glad it works now!
