Re: [en] WCAG-EM Report Tool

Hi All,

I have taken a look at this and I think I know what the problem is. It seems that a number of the sample pages that were added have the same ID. I ran a test with the currently live tool and the assigned IDs are unique. When I manually changed the sample ID and then imported the modified JSON I could replicate the issue.

There are a couple of peculiarities though:

I have no idea how Nicki’s team managed to have a JSON file with a) duplicate IDs and b) IDs that were URLs. The current tool assigns a unique ID of the form ’subject_\d+’. The JSON that Nicki sent had IDs that matched the URL in the sample description.
There is a difference between the current live version of the tool and the version that I cloned that I cannot work out. I noticed this because the two behave slightly differently when dealing with the non-unique IDs. The live side exhibits the issue that Nicki reported: URLs get changed to ‘h’. The clone site from the master branch simply displays the last sample in the structuredSample order.

Would love to get to the bottom of some of these questions so that I can respond to Nicki.

It cut this down to 11 pages and many of the URLs got changed to ‘h’. We tried it many times, saving the JSON file on local drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc. Nothing helped.

That caused the page to crash and apart from the HTML file I had, I lost everything. I ended up working in VS Code, using the HTML file I had previously exported.
