once these bugs have been verified, do they find their way into the Mantis bug tracking system? if so, who does that?

Good question. Anyone willing to do so would likely run out of steam after awhile.

Gando started this topic a few years ago. He tried to merge all of the new bug reports into the first message. Not to mention the editing on the first message as bugs were fixed. He gave up after awhile.

I guess that some people will want to use this topic and others will want to use the Mantis bug tracking system.

Please give more information than this. I had the Scepter working not very long ago. What did you have Imprinted on it? Anything else funky going on?

because bugs are reported so frequently, that makes total sense. sadly, that means this forum is not 100% effective. if a developer takes interest in someone's posted bug report here, that person is in luck. otherwise, it really is ignored.

yes, that's really too much to ask of one person these days.

I guess that some people will want to use this topic and others will want to use the Mantis bug tracking system.

the mantis bug tracker has much more visibility to the developers. it organizes open issues so that they cannot be easily ignored. unlike for example a post buried 3 pages back in this forum. perhaps we should suggest that users who do not get a timely response here (or in any other forum) to report it to mantis and update their post here to reflect that? Underflow gave me his permission to edit and freely {GPL} license the googlecode bug submission instructions.

i think Rob has a vision of manually submitting bug reports from within Forge itself, sending them directly into the mantis bug tracker with special markings to indicate it came from the Forge program and not from a mantis user.

in README.txt, i instructed users to search and then post their bug reports to the forum that corresponds to the beta version they are using. it instructs everyone else {like git and nightly build users} to search and then submit to the mantis bug tracker directly.

if those are the only two ways to report bugs, should we write a detour post here and then close this topic to new posts after the next beta release? i suppose the same would apply to the svn bug report topic. or would these approaches alienate too many people? are those the correct instructions?

-~/~-

on a meta note, this open source project is interesting. a lot of development decisions are driven by those who have the strongest and/or best defended vision in certain aspects of the software product. if i don't have a vision for something, or a lack of predictive capability to defend a position, i have to find a visionary!

[Rob Cashwalker]

Most open source projects are either very chaotic, or they die within a year due to lack of interested people. While we have a project originator, Rares, we don't have a real LEADER. Nor do we do EVERYthing democratically. The devs we've had on the project tend to have particular specialties and they tend to stick with parts of the system that fit those specialties, since they spear-headed issues in those areas, they become the go-to guy/gal when something needs doing....

[Chris H.]

I do not think that anyone intentionally ignores the bugs. Some bugs are just really hard to figure out and to fix while others are simpler in comparison.

I like the idea of the Mantis bug tracker. Rob and Braids are doing a good job in setting it up. Forge may not be able to do a auto report for all errors, but having forge auto report error exceptions would at least get the really big bugs onto Mantis.

Once everything is stabilized (Mantis, Git, Maven, etc) and I release a beta I could then lock this topic. Those who are technically inclined can use Mantis to report bugs. The non-technically inclined can use the beta release topics. This in turn should help to keep a bug topic from growing as large as this one.

Easy fix.

[Braids]

. . . Forge may not be able to do a auto report for all errors, but having forge auto report error exceptions would at least get the really big bugs onto Mantis.

that sounds like a potential problem to me. if 30 people get a crash at the same place, do we get 30 new issues in Mantis? someone would have to manually review them and rubber stamp 29 of them as duplicates. maybe that wouldn't happen.

i guess if it does happen, we will be able to write some code that compares stack traces for new automatic issues. if it finds another earlier issue that is already open with the same trace, it can append the non-trace data to the earlier issue. instead of creating a new duplicate.

Hi
Briarberry Cohort
:Is also 2/2 when there is no other blue creature in play.

`
Fixed, thank you serrasmurf.

[Bundy]

When casting Shattering Spree the first selected artifact is not destroyed. When you play it without paying the replicate cost, it does nothing. When you pay the replicate cost once and select a second artifact, only the second one gets destroyed. I have not tried it with more artifacts as the targets.
-------
Not a bug, but the computer used Steal Artifact on my Caltrops while it could have taken a Sol Ring instead which would have been more useful.

happend around when Solemn Simulacrum was cloned with phyerxian metamorph and the copy of solemn was send to the grave i drawed 1 card then during the end turn i think it crashed
