Bug - Story Progress Bar w/ 0 hours/item estimate (Eclipse)


Chris Gray (2143) | asked Apr 07 '10, 7:15 p.m.
There appears to be a bug in the Eclipse client (I'm using 2.0.0.2 on Win XP)

In at least one situation, the Eclipse client shows a different (and incorrect?) progress bar than the Web UI

This happens in at least 3 different scenarios:

1) Scenario: Story "Not Done" with no tasks (therefore 0 hours estimated

I have screencaps comparing the UIs using Havannah story 104
... the progress bar for the Story shows solid green implying "all items done" (not expected, and not consistent with the Progress Report)
... the same story in the Web client shows solid white implying "no items started" (as expected)

Both UI's show the same Progress report details for the story:
... Work hours done: 0 of 0
... Items estimated: 100%
... Items Completed: 0 out of 1"
(I assume 1 is the story, itself)

2) Scenario: Story "In Progress" with 1 child task but "null" values in Estimate/Time Spent fields (no data entered so blank vs "0 h" displayed)

In this case
... the Eclipse client shows a green/gray bar (half-filled vertically)
... the Web UI shows a white solid bar

Both UI's show the same Progress report details for the story:
... Work hours done: 0 of 0
... Items estimated: 50%
... Items Completed: 0 out of 2 (0%)

(50% above seems odd - is it saying the Story is estimated but the 1 task work item with "null" value has not been estimated so only 1/2 items estimated = 50%??)

3) Scenario: Story "In Progress" with 1 child task but "0 h" entered in Estimate

In this case
... the Eclipse client shows a full green bar
(not expected / incorrect - implying all items completed)
... the Web UI shows a white solid bar (expected)

Both UI's show the same Progress report details for the story:
... Work hours done: 0 of 0
... Items estimated: 100% (as expected)
... Items Completed: 0 out of 2 (0%)

The Web UI in both IE 7 and Firefox 3.6 on Windows are consistent.

I checked and didn't see the problem for
a) The original Story 104 after moving it to "done" status
b) other stories in various states with more than 1 child task & estimated hours

And I checked 1 Plan artifact - the UIs appear to be consistent for an iteration plan with 0 hours/items estimated.
