Need testers for some big changes on staging

I've been working at removing one of our databases (we currently have two, MySQL and Mongo, removing the latter), and am now ready for some folks to help me test.

For anyone who's willing, please go to https://staging.gamersplane.com on an incognito window (for some reason, it's not working on a browser you're using GP on) and play with the site as you would regular GP. You'll need to register (which is part of the test). Then go around creating characters, games, joining other's games, posting on the forums, deleting characters, etc. No need to spend hours on it. Maybe 2 characters, join a game, create a game, close the game after you accept and reject some folks. I figure if 20ish people test stuff, we'll get a pretty encompassing test. If you find bugs, you can send them to me via email, PM on Discord, or post here. My hope is bugs will be minimal, and non-breaking for the most part.

For the note, once this is all checked out, I'll be doing a second test where I load live data from production onto staging, and see if everyone sees their old data. If that clears too, we'll set a release time for GP. It'll likely be a bit of a longer one, on the other of 2-3 hours.

Time to go break some stuff! :O With love.

(Psst, Keleth, I messaged you back in March about a problem mods can't help me with. You're probably busy right now with new stuff, but when you have time, can you please help? :'D)

I'm creating bug reports as quickly as I can :)

I don't seem to be able to open a game to applications (it says that it changed and then resets after refreshing the page), make it private (clicking on the "make private" does nothing) or edit game settings (infinite loading upon clicking "save", even if nothing changed). Are these bugs, or is it supposed to be like this and we're only testing joining games?

Also the site informed me "You have pending in (game name was here)!". I think it's supposed to be "pending applications". Also the game does not show I have any pending. :(

• I also see the "You have pending <game name>" on the fontpage [ref].

• I was unable to create the first game I tried (no idea why), but the second, third, and fourth attempt worked.

• Games seem to be marked a Public by default, but I can not change that setting, clicking the link does nothing.

• Retiring a game works as it used to. Restoring a game works.

• The 'Players in Game' list on Game Details appears empty, it does not show the GM. (I have not yet added more players.)

• Clicking Submit under 'Submit a Character' appears to do nothing on the page, but I get an email about the character being added. Refreshing the page indicates that the character was added (they no longer show up to be added).

• Creating Characters appears to work as normal.

• Characters appear to be Added to the Library by default. Removing characters from the library does nothing.

• The user profile does not show any created characters or games under 'Character Stats' and 'GM Stats'.

---

• I can create a thread in a game, and the first post show up, but there is no place to create more posts, it is almost as though the thread is 'locked'?

• Trying to edit the first post in a game thread appears to work until the Save button is pressed, then I get:
`This page isn’t workingstaging.gamersplane.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500`
from https://staging.gamersplane.com/forums/process/post/

• I can not test posting as characters or using the 'roll tables' since I can not post a second time in a game thread.

You are welcome to apply to my game at https://staging.gamersplane.com/games/9/

I will invite you to another so we try both methods. But I don't see you as a user (yet), did create a user on the staging server (https://staging.gamersplane.com/)?

@Keleth, the link in your post links to this thread (with staging tacked on).

Is it just me or is staging currently down? I'm getting an error just for trying to access staging.gamersplane.com

It should be back now.

• The game invite email is kinda messed up, it does not contain any information about the game and no links we can follow.


• There does not appear to be any way for the player to accept the invite.

• Games are 'closed for application' clicking 'open to applications' appears to work, but refreshing the page shows it did not change.

my username on staging is dr_B_TWO

That is on this site. You need to head over to https://staging.gamersplane.com/ and test the new site functionality there.

hmm I managed to screw it up. Thought I did create the new user in staging.

Anyway, this one definitely is in the staging site:

• Subscribing to threads or forums does not work.

• Messages (/pms/) page does not load.

I can't add myself as a GM to my game and apparently no one has received my invites. The screen shot of the invites is in my forum post on staging.

I have received emails about the invites I have sent my test user. Do you want to invite vagueGM to a game and see if I receive an invite notification?

I received a game invite notification email from doctorbee.

I don't see any indication on any of the pages that I have been invited to a game (but that was always a bit lacking, right?). I see on the game page that I am Invited. Still can not join, of course.

sent out some other invites too

Bookmarking Games and Characters is functional (ie the bookmark icon stays on consistently):but the bookmarked characters and games do not appear when clicking the top menu bar:

A bunch of bug fixes have been made. Please try stuff out again and tell me what's still not working.
