The same issues can be tracked with multiple sets of tickets. A regression in a network method could be tracked with 1 technical ticket about the method, or 10 user-oriented bug reports tracking each affected feature. The angle this ticket takes is to report the mental model used to write the document, and which the documentation consequently conveys, i.e. that an initial "!" was part of the pattern. Therefore, this tracks all consequences of that misunderstanding, including the incorrect synopsis, the incorrect description of patterns, and the assumption that the rule triggers if and only if the pattern has at least 1 match. > If you could answer the above question -- what it is, exactly, that you > object to about that phrase -- I'll attempt to address it. The main flaws in that sentence are in its implication that the pattern of a triggered rule matches the original URL-path. There are several things wrong with that implication, as explained in ticket #70024, but the one tracked here is the assumption that the pattern always matches. In negative rules (those with "!" before the pattern), the main condition is that the pattern does not match. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
