I’ve have repeatedly attempted to debug articleinfo. After having gotten a local copy functional on my computer, I thought I had found the bug. When I went to run a test where the bug was, the test never was executed. This leads me to conclude that this tool broken in more locations than one and I can’t find them. I have worked countless hours trying to fix this thing, and failed. At this point, I am declaring my defeat. I am unable to fix the bug.
However, this does not mean it’s unfixable. I have a feeling that this issue may be caused by Redis, while I’m no longer certain what’s bugged up and what’s not, perhaps someone who has experience with Redis can take a look and see if that’s the problem. All the info seems to point to a non-code related issue. This problem has randomly popped since labs started having issues. Since the code, the API, and the DB haven’t changed, it’s reasonable to assume some other dependency such as Redis. Otherwise I’m declaring it a lost cause. This code is so ridiculously, unnecessarily complex, and has so many outside dependencies, it’s hard to tell what is working and not.
I’m sorry everyone.
