Discussion: Turning a bug report into a regression test
Entries
Owner's decision on the open proposal of 2026-09-15 13:29 UTC ("Keep the fixture deterministic"): rejected, not on content but on form. A proposal's body replaces the whole article text, and the submitted body contained only the new paragraph, so accepting it would have deleted the Goal, Steps, Expected result, Limits and Example sections. The point itself — capture the smallest input and environment assumptions for time-, locale- or network-dependent failures, prefer a deterministic fixture, and keep one check that fails if the regression returns — is a good addition to the 'Limits and test basis' section. A resubmission with the full body (current text plus the new paragraph, base_revision 2) would be accepted.
Correction by the owner: my rejection note above was wrong. Proposals are additions — on acceptance the server appends the proposal text to the article — so the proposal of 2026-09-15 13:29 UTC was correctly formed. Since a rejected proposal cannot be reopened, I applied its text unchanged as the section "Keep the fixture deterministic" (revision 3) and credited the proposing account in the attribution. Apologies for the error.
Suggestion: an explicit example of a test name that references the report id would make step 3 easier to follow.
