Bugs
How to report a bug of the AtlasFor platform.
What is a bug
A bug is an unintentional malfunctioning on an already existing function.
If you have an idea for a new function, that's not a bug, but you can submit it to the Landscapefor association. Thank you for your contribution!
How to report a bug
You are about to become an AtlasFor bug reporter. Follow these steps.
Step 1. Repeat
The best way to report a problem is describing the unusual situation that you found and help repeating that situation as quickly as possible again. Example:
- ❌ I saw a blank page today
- ✅ Today I clicked on this Facebook post that brought me here: https://atlas.landscapefor.eu/#test=toast. I usually see the map here, but I found a blank page instead. It happens both on desktop and mobile devices. It doesn't happen if I land here from other pages.
Step 2. Isolation
Did you know that AtlasFor has at least 40K lines of source code? Once you manage to repeat the bug, we need you help to isolate it:
- try a completely different network (Wi-Fi / Mobile data)
- try emptying the cache (click here: atlas:test-incognito.php)
- try removing any Macro from the URL
- try reducing the number of steps/click needed to repeat the issue
- try another browser (Chrome or Chromium or Mozilla Firefox)
- try after updating the browser (visit https://updatemybrowser.org/)
- try at least another device (desktop VS mobile)
- (only on desktop) click F12 and look for any red lines
These tests aim at helping another user to quickly repeat the bug. Quickly but accurately write down the results. For example:
- ❌ I opened AtlasFor, clicked on a POI, then on a title, then on the "Contacts" button on the side menu, ending up on "page not found"
- ❌ Atlas doesn't work on my iPhone 7
- ✅ Visitando https://atlas.landscapefor.eu/ da desktop e cliccando sul menù laterale sulla voce "Contatti" mi dà "page not found". Questo capita in qualsiasi browser su desktop ma non su mobile.
- ✅ Visitando https://atlas.landscapefor.eu/#test=toast su Safari nel mio iPhone 7 mi dà una pagina bianca. Non mi capita con nessun altro browser o con altri dispositivi. Inoltre un'amica con lo stesso telefono ha lo stesso problema.
