Talk:Gerrit/Problems
Add topic[19:50] <Brooke> "(7 inline comments)" [19:50] <Brooke> How do I see the inline comments? [19:50] <Brooke> I'm not logged in. [19:50] <Brooke> Was Gerrit's UI designed by Microsoft? [19:50] ... quit factor [19:51] ... nick Vito -> Vito_away [19:52] <Brooke> Anyone? [19:52] <Reedy> view the diff? [19:52] <Brooke> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/14333/2/resources/mediawiki/mediawiki.user.js [19:52] <Brooke> I clicked "Side-by-side." [19:52] <Brooke> I don't see the comments... [19:53] <Reedy> wrong changeset [19:53] <Reedy> patch set, whatever [19:53] <Reedy> https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/14333/1/resources/mediawiki/mediawiki.user.js [19:53] <Reedy> inline comments are specific to that file in that patch set [19:54] <Brooke> I just realized that the patch sets where collapsed a few minutes ago. [19:54] <Brooke> The UI really is just about as bad as possible. [19:54] <Brooke> I don't know how you all get anything done all day with Gerrit. I find everything is possible, it just takes 20 minutes to figure out. [19:54] <Brooke> It's the Microsoft approach to UI. [19:55] <Brooke> One of those fucking collapsed menus has the obscure and poorly labeled link you're looking for. [19:55] <Reedy> I've not found it that bad [19:55] <Brooke> THANKS, GERRIT. [19:55] <Brooke> Aren't you a .NET programmer or somethign? [19:55] <Brooke> something [19:55] <Brooke> If you have a Microsoft mind, it's not so bad. [19:55] <wikibugs> (WONTFIX) [SMW] #subobject causes fatal error - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/38185 +comment (MWJames) [19:55] <Reedy> o_0 [19:56] <Brooke> For normal people, it's unintuitive and stupid. [19:56] <Brooke> Even better colors would fix some of this. [19:56] <Brooke> It's impossible to tell what collapses and what doesn't because none of it has borders or shading... [19:57] ... join domas [19:57] <Brooke> And the patch set expansion isn't sticky? [19:57] <Brooke> So you have to click to patch set 1 to expand it, find the diff, and if you go back, it just re-collapses? [19:58] <Brooke> Rather than just making "7 inline comments" a link... [19:58] <Brooke> Gerrit is dumb. [19:58] <Brooke> I keep thinking if I get an account, it might not be so awful. [19:58] <Brooke> But somehow I think the user experience is pretty dreadful, regardless of authing. [19:59] <Brooke> I'm just talking to myself at this point. [19:59] <Reedy> Long live CodeReview [19:59] <wikibugs> (FIXED) New Format: Rank - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/22140 +comment (MWJames) [20:00] <Brooke> It's one thing to be ugly and be well-designed. [20:00] <Brooke> But Gerrit is both ugly and poorly designed. [20:00] <Brooke> The double punch in the gut really hurts. [20:00] <Brooke> I don't know much about Phabricator, but at least it isn't painfully ugly. [20:01] <Reedy> Facebook would employ quite a few designers at least [20:01] <Reedy> Though, I'm sure Google do also.. [20:02] ... quit santhosh [20:02] ... join factor [20:03] <Brooke> Reedy: Do you disagree with my assessment of Gerrit? [20:04] <Reedy> Not really [20:05] ... join Yaron [20:06] <Reedy> Krinkle and others were working on a better looking skin [20:06] <Krenair> Gerrit was difficult for me to learn as well. [20:06] <Krenair> It's fine now though
