Xojo recently shifted way from Feedback, their home grown bug tracker, to Issues from GitLab. As part of this they’ve added a number of bots that seem to automatically deal with cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparisons to my old #’s are difficult because Issues tracks multiple tags per case where Feedback basically had a single status<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some easy comparisons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Feedback I had 58 Archived cases, several of which I requested be reopened,
In issues there are 99, with several I’ve asked to be reopened.
Archived is a label I’d like to see tossed out as it is, at least in my experience, a label that just plainly says “Thanks for the report we just don’t care to look at this.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Feedback I had had 433 Open cases.
As of today in Issues there are 117.
When I look at my closed cases I see a lot that have been updated recently. But I just don’t have the energy to review all the lines closed in the last 2 weeks. I see some marked as duplicates of other cases.
Beyond that its hard to do direct comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing Issues makes possible is that it is possible to quickly search for all kinds of labels<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like, bugs, archived, not marked fixed, by design, implemented, not actionable or not reproducible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such a query shows, as I write, 4148 of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labelled Bug, reproducible and archived a paltry 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or reported by other users<\/p>\n\n\n\n
