731306 - Add "Unknown" or "Any" to OS options on daily crashes page

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

[[DEACTIVATED] Adrian Gaudebert]

At the moment, on the daily crashes page, it is only possible to specify that the OS must be one of "Windows", "Linux" or "Mac". However, in the database there is a fourth possible value which is "Unk" for Unknown. We should add an option to the UI to select those crashes as well.

I'm actually not sure we ever want to look only at those, so not sure if there should be a switch for them.

[:kairo] Should I work on this or should it be closed rather?

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

I personally don't see this as a target to have, and I haven't yet heard anyone complain that he couldn't look for crashes from "other"/"unknown" OSes.

Looks like a good first bug. I'll be happy to help anyone who wants to work on this.

I can try it. This would be my first bug.

If this is not yet fixed, I can fix it. This would be my first bug.

Where should I get started ?

Hi prakashkut, 

Please start by installing Socorro locally. You will find documentation on that here: http://socorro.readthedocs.org/en/latest/setupdevenv.html

I suggest that you join us on IRC in the #breakpad channel (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Irc ) where there will be people to help you. You can also email me directly if you like.

Sorry, see my comment #3, I'm not even sure if we want this at all.

Hi, is this valid still? Can I work on it ?

Hi Michał,

It seems this bug is not that simple to work on as a first bug, and we don't even really want it to be resolved. 

If you want a good first bug, I suggest you take a look at the [socorro-crashstats] bugs here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webdev/GetInvolved/crash-stats.mozilla.org#Mentored_Bugs They are much easier to start with to my opinion. Let me know if you need any help! :)
