    @devboxes Reproduce acme/app#123. A customer says CSV exports on 2.4.1 lose the last row.

  2. devboxes APP

    Reproduced on 2.4.1 and on main. A 12-line script exports three rows and gets two back, because the export stops one row early when the last row has an empty note. My comment on #123 has the script and its output, and the issue is labeled reproduced.

What devboxes does

  1. Read the bug report

    • devboxes notes the reported version, the environment, the steps, and what was expected and what happened, just as the report gives them.
  2. Find related issues

    • For each related issue it keeps, it says how it relates to the report.
  3. Check out both versions

    • Both versions get installed, or you hear why only the default branch could be.
  4. Reproduce it

    • The script runs on every version tested, and the output of every run is kept.
  5. Record the bug

    • Each recording is published with a link you can share, and any recording that couldn't be made comes with the reason.
  6. Comment on the issue

    • The issue gets one comment with the result, the versions tested and the script.
    • Last, it labels the issue reproduced or not reproduced, and keeps the labels it already had.
