I can't count how many times we've put together a site and at some point the signup feature had some kind of problem. Out of curiousity, what was the specific bug if you don't mind me asking?
- swombat 18y agoDefinitely. Lesson learned from countless similar issues: sign-ups and credit card forms break in weird and wonderful ways. Always test both right after a big deployment.
- sgrove 18y ago"Always test both right after a big deployment." Words to live by. I've changed to a staging server so I can test everything on a "live" server before pushing it to production. As I mentioned before, I'm glad I wrote it just to hear that frustrating mistakes like this aren't altogether uncommon!
- sgrove 18y agoIt was the mailer that was sending out confirmations to users who signed up with email address. It failed silently on the dev machine - and I didn't notice because I wasn't expecting an email - while on the server it rightfully failed and stopped everything. I'm very comforted to hear that such experience isn't limited to me. Thanks for that!
