Change wording of debug log submission #1740
Conversation
Thoughts on ^ appreciated. Ping @lampholder, @ara4n. |
Instead of just "Want to send logs?", it should say something about what logs are, and why someone would want to send logs. Maybe something along the lines of: "If you've found a bug, debug logs can help us track down the problem. Debug logs do not contain any of your messages, but will include your username, ..." |
I think we should focus on the original remit, which was to encourage people to submit an issue on GitHub if they want to report a bug, so I would opt for something more like (building on @uhoreg's proposal):
|
@lukebarnard1 - I like that wording. Will we still give users a box to type additional comments when they click 'submit debug logs'? What about an optional field to include a reference to the github issue they've (hopefully) filed? |
wrt the url field, it might be worth it to make it appear required (ie no text saying "required" or "optional") but treat it as optional behind the scenes. |
@lampholder I think for those who don't use GH or who'd prefer not to, it's still useful to have the comment box. I like the idea of optional GH URL inserting - under the hood we can append it to the description. We should also consider adjusting the wording in the dialog box itself, as it is geared towards sending a bug report: |
I'd like to refine the wording to read:
How about the modal looking something like:
As @turt2live says, the additional fields can be optional. Styling the issue link field with a placeholder URL should encourage people to fill it in, and hopefully the 'notes' field is sufficiently vague that people who've filed a github issue will ignore it (and only the desperate will fill it in). I've repeated the 'debug logs contain...' segment because I think it's important people know exactly what they're doing :) I think this whole section could be further improved by making reference to where and how the logs are stored, who will have access to them, and how long they will be kept, but I'd suggest we just get version out and then iterate. |
FTR, I'll push changes to the dialog in another PR because it's in vector-web. |
Fixes element-hq/element-web#5985
