Stuck in tour: cannot add tags to first question

+6
−0

I'm trying the tour at https://meta.codidact.com/tour/ask .

I really like how people are given first-hand experience with writing a question! However, it is not currently loading tags. Above the line where I can add tags, it just says

The results could not be loaded

And I cannot progress further with the tour.

I've tried typing into the textbox, seeing if some sample tags would be loaded. That does not happen. I suppose the sample question needs a supply of sample tags, for the new user to choose from.

Screenshot of the tour page, where I ask a question

Not sure if it is related, but when I use F12, I see:

Uncaught TypeError: this.element is null
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:253
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:278
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:285
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:299
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:338
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:344
    design 0.12.0/js/co-design.js:346

UPDATE:

After this happened during lunch break I kept the page in the browser for reference. Then after work I logged in in Edge, to see if I could reproduce the problem there. However, just clicking "Get Started" there gave me the sidebar and stuff.

And then I clicked "Get Started" in Firefox and I got the sidebar too. It seems there's a glitch if you've already finished question body and question title before Codidactyl tells you to. However, even in Edge, the tags weren't loaded.

The tour, however, is not hampered by the fact that tags aren't loaded or recognized. After Codidactyl tells you to add the tags, you can try and add the tags. Despite the fact that they don't load, and that you still get the warning "The results could not be loaded", you can go on to the next page.

For the record, I don't think I need the tour myself. I've come from That Other Q&A Site where I've got some experience asking and answering. I just wanted to see how it was done. Overall I'm pretty happy with Codidact's tour! But, this bug needs fixing.

Hm. I’ll look into this later. For now, can’t you click “Next” in the sidebar? I think it doesn’t validate the input, so you should be able to continue anyway.

@luap42 I don't see a sidebar... I'm using Firefox with Ghostery, Ghostery says it's blocked 1 tracker. I'll see if I can help out myself tonight; for now, my break is over and I must get back to work. Thanks for the quick response!

Huh. No sidebar? Isn’t there something showing you some hints and text examples for your question?

FractionalRadix‭ wrote over 4 years ago

@luap42 I've added a screenshot. If I use the horizontal scrollbar, I don't see a sidebar either.

luap42‭ wrote over 4 years ago

Ah. You’ll need to click the “Get Started” Button to see the hints in the sidebar. :)

@luap42 No, I've tried the "Get started" button. It moves me to the field where I need to add tags, it doesn't give me any sidebars. I've added the results from using F12 in the browser, in case it might help.

luap42‭ wrote over 4 years ago

Okay... strange. I’ll look into it.

Oh wow. That missing sidebar is where the core of the tour -- that is, the explanations and instructions -- goes. A tour without that would be pretty cryptic. Is that still happening?

FractionalRadix‭ wrote about 4 years ago

@Monica Cellio Sorry for getting back late. I just took the Tour again, and it works OK. We still need to get the tags loaded properly, but I could complete the Tour, with instructions.
