flaky finding of references

help edit space_dashboard
There are quite a few problems that seem to be related to problems with references getting updated correctly.  They may or may not be the same issue, but let's use this as our main hall for digging into this, and then split some of these things up.  There are already several tickets involved (which we're pointing to in the taglist)

 

 

+example

help edit space_dashboard
  • cool factor lists the tickets that are tagged with it, but polish doesn't (though they both includes the same Auto card!). The one that is listed on polish - i went to that card, removed the polish pointer, then added it back again. Then it showed up - weird.
  • had this issue with the todo query on the home page of the staff wagn
  • happens with many of the Decks on Wagn.org, including Permabit wagn. There are several tickets that are tagged with "Anon1" (search for it), but none of them show up on the tickets query on the Permabit wagn card. Anon1 used to be a basic card, but the links stopped working when I changed it to a "Deck." If you go to one of the taglist cards that point to it and edit it, when it saves the reference is evidently restored (and the Anon1 card's query will reflect the change).
  • might be a different one, but I renamed Hooze to Hooze+about, and opted to have it *NOT* update the links refering to it (I still wanted them to refer to Hooze), but it updated them anyway. Saw this several times in a row

one thing to test is references from a card getting updated correctly when its name or type is changed.

John, I know Lew did a bunch of work on this right before the connectipedia launch, but I don't think he ever came back and tested. Can you have a look at these issues and tell me where you think we are?

Still a problem. This search via WQL shows 19 Tickets tagged with polish:
...but a regular search shows well more than that: http://wagn.org/search/polish

--John Abbe.....Thu Jul 03 21:19:34 -0700 2008

We definitely still have bad data (unrecorded references), but I'm not sure the code bug is still there. References only get recorded when cards are saved, so any cards that have not been saved since the last code fix may still be busted.

John, I went ahead and changed all the tickets this thing points to to you and tagged them with Wagn 0.10.

Lew, do you think it might be worth regenerating all the references in the migration?

Someone wrote: this may be yet another ticket, but we have never implemented inclusion updates upon a name change.
Yup, the ticket exists - update inclusions when renaming)

maybe make a rake task for updating the references

  --Lewis Hoffman.....Wed Jul 16 16:26:56 -0700 2008

That would be great. If you run it on wagn.org, i will check the results.

  --John Abbe.....Thu Jul 24 11:28:33 -0700 2008

I checked on the Anon1 issue above. on sandwagn.wagn.org created Fuzzy (basic), pointed 3 tickets to it, changed the type to Deck. All tickets still there.

Also did some basic tests of references from an item being updated an those seemed fine.

  --Lewis Hoffman.....Thu Jul 24 18:56:38 -0700 2008

I created a rake task db:references:update_all and ran it on wagn.org. The closest thing I could find on the flaky references was that clearing the cache of the old entry on cascaded renames wasn't working. that's fixed now.

  --Lewis Hoffman.....Thu Jul 24 20:57:00 -0700 2008

Sounds good to me. closed.
