535830 - Top crash start_date and end_date should reflect data returned

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

per chofmann in #breakpad

The TopCrashersSigRankAPI should populate start_date and end_date based on the data returned, not on the requested window.

Steps
1) Add a new product/version
2) Run cron
3) Go to new top crashers by signature page such as http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/3.6b5

Expected:
Intro paragraph:
Top 198 Crashing Signatures 2009-12-18 07:00:00 through 2009-12-18 08:00:00.

Actual:
Top 198 Crashing Signatures 2009-12-04 08:00:00 through 2009-12-18 08:00:00.

Priority?

lower priority, but seems like it should be a simple fix.  I causes a bit of confusion when people start looking at the data just after a new product/version is set up.

Is this still a bug? Going to https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/13.0a1 the line there reads:

"Top 300 Crashing Signatures. 2012-02-02 through 2012-02-09."

We were talking about this today, and I personally feel like the requested functionality would be more confusing for users.

Maybe we should add a different line with this detail?

Let's highlight it if the returned data range is different from the requested one and show the actual

This API call is gone, and so are the underlying data stores. Let's file a new bug if we still need this feature in the new UI.
