#64 faketestcasesrus.com is confusing
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by kparal.

People are confused by using faketestcasesrus.com as the default URL for test cases. Could we perhaps use https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks/<testcase_name> instead? That way it will still be 404 for most of the test cases, but at least it will be clearer and perhaps motive people to create those pages (and it's easy to do so on the wiki).

<mattdm> hey all. I was wanting to show off taskotron in production, but I noticed that most of the "Ref →" in /resultsdb/testcases goes to "http://faketestcasesrus.com/"
<mattdm> does that mean that those tests are actually fake, or just that the description doesn't exist?
<kparal> description for some tasks is available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Tasks
<mattdm> the above looks really bad
<kparal> the url link for each test case it not being used at the moment
<kparal> I don't even know if we intend to keep it that way in the next version of resultsdb
<kparal> jskladan would know but he's not present atm
<mattdm> are things like https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/resultsdb/results?testcase_name=dist.rpmgrill.virus-check real or fake?
<kparal> everything is real
<mattdm> nice
<kparal> so, I see we do link to real pages for some test cases
<kparal> those that actually have some documentation
<kparal> faketestcasesrus is just a default value for those that have no link
<mattdm> it seems like putting "no description" or "description needed; please fill in" would be way better.
<kparal> we might want to change that to something less confusing
<mattdm> yes please :)
<kparal> well, the URL is actually the ID of the test case I think
<kparal> I can ask jskladan tomorrow
<mattdm> kparal: thanks
<mattdm> I would categorize this as "moderately urgent"
<mattdm> even if it seems like details :)

I thought this was solved already. Is it not?

There's still something wrong, all the testcases from https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/resultsdb/testcases link to https://taskotron.fedoraproject.org/resultsdb/testcases (the URL). The same happens with dev. Is that a different bug?
