BMSBugs: A public third party BMS bugtracker
-
Hmm. There is a ‘Cockpit’ category as well as the 2Dpit category. I (or I-Hawk) could delete one if its a duplicate and no longer needed?
Yeah right. So Cockpit is enough. (category list is not 100% up to date and not perfect)
…
One thing we NEED to have in the description is the THEATER. (normally, a bug should be reported ONLY if encountered in KTO but if the bug-tracker includes the Theater it is even better, either to be sure, or to list possible specific theater issues so the bug-tracker is not only useful to the core KTO team but also for the others)
-
Awesome Idea!
Hope the community would use this tool wisely
Should we Stick this post ? -
Excellent suggestion. Is there a list of all theatres currently available?
-
Registered, i also granted for permissions
Thanks in advance

Is missing the version of BMS of the bug
Please impose the same bug report format that we did here
BMS versions are added, from 4.34 U5, 4.35, and 4.35 U1 (next version, unreleased).
I am not entirely certain I can impose the exact same format from Nick’s sticky post without digging into the PHP for the report page. It seems that you can select which fields you want to show or hide, but not what order they should be shown in. For now at least, I am going to settle for having a working report page which has the same fields, despite those fields being in a different order.
On the note of compatible formats, I understand this software has the ability to export issues as XML, with a plugin. Ive not looked into it as yet.

2Dpit has been removed.

Theatre of Operations has been added. Current possible selections are KTO (default), ITO, EMF, and ‘Other’. Im not sure which other Theatres are in use at this stage, but Id appreciate a reply from anyone wanting another theater added.

Known issues: you can add wheel track of some vehicles like M106, M109, … (See in tacref).
Disregards … not yet in 4.35 … sorry.

Just as use instructions in post #1
…
Also … ppl must follow their entries and not just throwing them here and never comes again.
The “shall” check from time to time along updates and change the status once it has been fixed. -
I think Balkans is also available for 4.35.
Cheers,
Uwe

I’ll also try collecting info on the MP tanker / AAR bug and create an issue for it.
Cheers, Uwe

The “shall” check from time to time along updates and change the status once it has been fixed.Indeed, an active community is far better than an inactive one.
I hope that wont prove to be an issue. I am not entirely clear on the scale of the BMS community. If its large enough, and the tracker sees enough use, I might need to look for assistance managing the issues.
-
I think having a public bug tracker is already a big step ahead compared to 1,000 posts in a hundred threads here on the forum
I hope the community will pick up the ball that you’ve thrown them blue and run with it, especially as we already see some devs warming up to the idea. This is a great chance to streamline BMS bug reporting and -tracking.
All the best, Uwe
-
we probably didnt need bugtracking for obsolete versions at this stage.
Yup
So 4.35 is out of the scope then -
Ah, its rapid development indeed when the “latest-stable” commit is also marked “obsolete”.

One of the important things is the ability of the user to think about searching before reporting.

There is a feature of GitHub Issues, which I am missing currently with this setup, where as you type in the title of a new report, the page suggests other issues with similar titles, to try avoid duplicate reports. I will have a look to see if this is something that can be implemented within MantisBT.
Edit: seems its been a requested feature of this bug tracking software since 2009.

as in my RL Projects we are mainly using either JIRA or Gitlab for issue tracking, one of the most used function is to relate entries to each other eithr by reference or mark them as duplicate

You can do this. What I was wanting was to have an automatic suggestion pop up to the user before they create an issue, about issues which might be similar to their issue.
You can mark an issue as a duplicate, and it will link to the original issue much as you would see in GitLab (cant comment on Jira as Ive not actually used it). Ive not used Mantis before so Im learning too. Was going to be bugzilla (which I am far more familiar with), but Mantis was a one click install on my web hosting, and bugzilla was going to be, while relatively straightforward, not as straightforward as a one click install.

Hello,
this is an excellent initiative!
I was really thinking that was missing.Also, will this also be the place where to send crash reports?
(I’m having a lot of them since 4.35 ) -
…JIRA…shudder…

(I’m having a lot of them since 4.35 )You can upload attachments to a bug or crash report if you log in. There might be a size limit though.
