Steemit weird error messages. What do they mean?

in steemit •  9 years ago 

Some of us are getting weird steemit error messages. To decipher them can be tricky.

Today I was replying to another comment and received: itr != by_permlink_idx.end();

Now luckily the code is open source, I can simply look here:

https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/libraries/app/database_api.cpp

It refers to some pending payout issue.   So I have a hint, it's not me... but the system itself.

These types of errors that show up, really shouldn't show up.  They're great for developers, but not the general public.   If you get one of these errors, let the devs know.

Simply tag a dev into one of your posts (oh wait, there is no tag feature yet, but I suspect its coming).

How to report a steemit bug:

In this instance, I will do both.

Any output to the screen in the form of an error should have an english translation, or, at the very minimum, the part of the code that does it, should have "source code comments", so when the error outputs, we can go to the source code and understand a little more about what caused it.

I just shorten the Tag section with less words and then it goes through.

The irony is I got that error while trying to insert a tag! Thanks!
