Hi all,

I've been setting up BugLogHQ to run with a ColdFusion application that I've inherited, with reasonable success.

Previously I've been using Hoth on some other applications and one thing that I'm missing is the unique identification of bug events. Specifically, when an error is thrown and the notifyService is called, I'd like it to return a unique identifier (or perhaps simply the existing identifier if a bug already exists) of a bug report so that I can display that identifier to the end user in the friendly error message.
That way, a user may quote the ID when referring to the issue for support.

Does this sound like something that may make it into a future update, or a use-case that has been addressed in other ways previously?

Thanks,

Gary

Hey Gary,

This is an idea that has been floated in the past. I don't think there is any "quick fix" for this with the current version of BugLog since the only unique "ID" available for a bug report would be its primary key on the database table, however given how BugLog works, this ID is not generated until AFTER the report has been submitted and the response sent back to the client app.

However, the good news is that this is something that has already been addressed on a development branch of BugLog. 

This is a feature scheduled for the 2.0 release, but I am considering porting this feature and releasing it ahead of time as 1.9 release if this is something folks may want.

As developed, each report received will have a unique UUID that will be generated as soon as the bug is received, and will then be saved to the database.

Let me know if you have any thoughts,

Oscar

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for getting back to me. That's pretty much exactly what I'm after - a UUID that can be assigned to an error and returned from the notifyService call so I can include it in my friendly error message. 
I figured it might be a bit more tricky since the database record isn't created immediately.

Any idea when we might be able to use this functionality?
