KALENDAR bugfix#04
FOUND ANOTHER BUG: CONTACT VIEW PAGE-
FIRST STEP: REPORT THE BUG ON THE CHAT CHANNELS, ASK IF IT IS A POTENTIAL BUG OR OUTCOME OF YOUR SILLY MISTAKE.
FOUND YES IT IS INDEED A BUG NEXT STEP:
SOLVING THE BUG:
- TRY ASKING THE HELPFUL POINTERS FROM YOUR MENTORS.
- IF THEY PROVIDE YOU TAKE THEM SERIOSULY AND START SOLVING IT, DO CHANGES AND SEE THE LOG FILES AND TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF THE SOURCE CODE, IT IS IN C++ SO NOT COMPLETE ALIEN TO ME.
- TRY REPRODUCING THE BUG AGAIN AND FIND SOME ESSENTIAL HINTS, LIKE WHERE COULD BE THE ERROR, OR WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING IT.
- DO SOME CHANGE AND TRY BUILDING IT, IF FAILS THEN CHECK LOG FILES, U WILL GET HINTS.
Tried solving it by askign a pointer from my mentor: CARL
he pointed to some code lines and i skimmed through the files and the lines of codes that were relevant.
- tried reading about the anokadi server from where I was getting the requests
- tried experimenting and debugging by printing the output on console to check if it was expected or not
- if not then i would try to solve it to get the expected bug, if yes then move to another experiment
- rn it doesnt print anything at all, i m sus if the anokadi server is actually recieving the server requests from kalender or not!
- will try to use anokadi from my terminal now to test it and to learn its usage
- also, building korganizer, another calender app from KDE guys.
- built succesfully, now will check the source code of korganizer and try to find some hints
