Propose update in Bug Report Dialog

Open MaxG87 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I recently created a bug report ( #6093), because the UI is very suggestive and was easy to use. It turned out that my version of Nextcloud Dev was outdated, so I reported an already fixed bug.

Describe the solution you'd like

The dialog that suggests to post a bug report on GitHub (along with the error log) could check whether there is a younger version of Nextcloud Dev. If so, it could at least suggest to try an update before.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One could suggest an update without checking first. However, I suspect users to ignore such suggestions if they feel that the suggestion is unsubstantiated.

@MaxG87 Not all errors happening in older versions are fixed, so the existence of a newer one does not necessarily mean that the bug report is useless or redundant. It's a bit tricky.

@tobiasKaminsky That would be easy to implement but I'm not sure we have an API to the store to check for the version number. Alternatively we can improve the message, instructing user to check the version number.
