Stopped reading (start/finish) dates inconsistency through interfaces

Open franbarra opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug If I add a start/end date for a "stopped reading" book through the search interface, when I later go to "Your Books" -> "Stopped Reading" section, the start/end date for the book is blank.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Search for a book.
  2. Click on the book you want.
  3. In the left-hand side, in the "start reading/want to read/read" dropdown meny select "start reading" and enter a date. Save.
  4. Open the dropdown menu again and select "stopped reading" and enter a date.
  5. Go to "Your Books" -> "Stopped Reading" section.
  6. The book just edited has no started/until date. They show up blank.

Expected behavior A book I have stopped reading, and one in which I recorded both started/stopped reading dates, should have those dates show up in my "Your Books" -> "Stopped Reading" section.

Screenshots Search interface:

My "Stopped Reading" section

Instance bookwyrm.social

Additional context [**NOTE] It seems that if I refresh the page between selecting the start and stop date, it (I only managed to make the start date work) shows up in my "Stopped Reading" section.

Oh thank you for filing this, I didn't even think about it! That column is only showing the finished_date, which is a different database field than stopped_date. Should be simple enough to address in the UI, and doesn't reflect a problem with the dates stored themselves.

At least it's not a bug! In the "Read" section the columns are "Started" and "Finished", so I thought that, since it said "Until", it corresponded to the date I stopped reading it.

Yeah that's a totally reasonable expectation :)
