Steempress v2.0.1 Bug: Steempress Signature Is Not Rendered Correctly in Steemit / Steempeak

in utopian-io •  6 years ago  (edited)

Project Information

Expected behavior

Posts made via Steempress should have a correctly formatted string of HTML text at their footer highlighting that Steempress was used.

Actual Behavior

The signature inserted by Steempress at the end of the posts is not being rendered correctly.

This post in my wordpress site was submitted to Steem here and as you can see, the end of the post is presented as html instead of pure text.

Technical Analysis

I suspect this may be because the text is not being converted to the correct character encoding prior to being submitted to the blockchain. E.g. The text appears in steem editors as:

Instead of as correctly rendered (normal) HTML.

I have attempted to find out if this is a known bug, but haven't had a reply yet in the Steempress discord space:

Hi @ura-soul, thanks for this contribution.

The behavior described here constitutes a strange user experience.

Feedback:

  1. The post title is exactly as it should be, with just enough information to give the PO a glimpse to what possibly went wrong.

  2. I like how well you identified the difference in behavior between what is expected and what is actually gotten.

  3. I also like that you included a technical analysis, although it doesn't completely explain what went wrong. It's a good try.

  4. Do you know that proposing a fix in your report increases your reward score? You should try this in your next report :)

  5. You have not provided us with the steps to reproduce the bug. Although it can be easily deduced, you should add this to subsequent reports.

I hope this feedback helps you in providing quality reports in the future.
