Platform
Browser: Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
App: Web app
Steps to replicate:
1, Sign into volunteers.net.
2, Go to create new task.
3, Fill in all fields.
4, Click the submit button.
Expected outcome
A popup that says “Task successfully created” should appear.
The new task should be added to the user’s tasks.
Current outcome
A blank screen appears. Furthermore, we can confirm the task
is not being entered in the database as well.
Screenshots:
Insert screenshot of the task form with details already
filled in.
Insert screenshot of blank page after submitting.
Insert screenshot of the database table, which clearly shows
the data is not in the table.
Impact
CRITICAL: Administrators are unable to set their volunteers
tasks, which means entire organisations are grinding to a halt.
Recommendation: Until the issue has been fixed, all
administrators should forward their task details to Support, so we can manually
insert them via MySQL Workbench.
