Challenges of the day... not working?

[ArthaTi]

Looks like, at least for me, challenges of the day don't really work as expected: They don't change. It's said that these are daily ones, right? They didn't seem to change for me since installation of the script.

code-golf   Regex that only matches itself
code-challenge  I need a program where the user inputs an array of doubles and the program outputs the array sorted
math    Little Chandler is sad. Draw him a cloud to cheer him up
graphical-output    Square, Circle, Triangle, ...Gear?
interpreter Write an interpreter for my esoteric language Jumper

Everyday there are these. They don't change, even if they should, as they are "challenges of the day"

Challenges of the day is broken, it's definitely the goat's fault. They've been broken for a while now?

[RikerW]

I'll work on it but hey if it gets the goat to do it I'm assigning him (in the meantime, I'll comment out that userscript section)

[vihanb]

@RikerW ಠ_ಠ I didn't even write the related code

[vihanb]

@JJ-Atkinson could you take a look at this

[vihanb]

Basic investigation leads to here: https://github.com/vihanb/PPCG-Design/blob/master/ppcg.user.js#L1171 @Soaku what browser/userscript engine are you using?

[JJ-Atkinson]

Hello, long time no see ;)

I can try to fix it on Sunday or Monday. Not this week. Last I checked it was working ok, so I don't know what went wrong.

@vihanb Chrome, pu64.0.3282.186, 64-bit

[JJ-Atkinson]

@vihanb A problem I see now is that SE updated their site. When I updated the settings pane I made it depend on css that only seems to be present https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/preferences/me. Is the settings pane unstyled for you as well?

[JJ-Atkinson]

I think I found the problem. https://github.com/vihanb/PPCG-Design/pull/133

[ArthaTi]

Updated the script and QOTD changed!

If it will work tomorrow, then this issue can be closed, I think

[ArthaTi]

Ok, ~it's actually working!~ Challenges are changed every refresh, not every day. 😕

On the side, I'm suggesting to filter out questions tagged with [tips], because these aren't challenges.

Challenges of the Day
code-golf   Tips for golfing in Python

[JJ-Atkinson]

@Soaku When is it actually updating? It should update when the last update day of the month is not the same as they current day of the month (almost certianly the same as every day). To filter out questions tagged [tips], you would need to edit the query on line https://github.com/vihanb/PPCG-Design/blob/master/ppcg.user.js#L1211.

[ArthaTi]

@JJ-Atkinson It is updating every page refresh.

From console:

adding question of the day
last QOD Update 11 ; today 11
Array(11)
data to remove Array(8)
done adding question of the day

Update 11 ; today 11 and then data to remove Array(8)? Looks suspicious.

[JJ-Atkinson]

@Soaku I think it's fixed now.

[ArthaTi]

@JJ-Atkinson Alright, it doesn't seem to change per refresh now. If it will work tomorrow, then it is fixed.

[JJ-Atkinson]

@Soaku Did it work? I'm not on the site often anymore.

[ArthaTi]

@JJ-Atkinson Yes, it does.
