Enatega App: Restaurant Sort Filter Won't Budge!
Hey everyone! Let's dive into a frustrating little bug found in the Enatega Customer Application. We're talking about the restaurant page and a pesky issue with the 'Sort' filter. Apparently, once you apply a sorting option, it's stuck! You can't remove it. Seriously, guys, imagine trying to find the closest restaurant, and then you're permanently stuck with that distance filter. Not cool, right?
This article aims to break down the problem, how to reproduce it, and what we'd ideally like to see happen. We'll also cover the nitty-gritty details to help the development team squash this bug quickly. Think of this as a detailed bug report, but explained in a way that's easy to understand. We'll be using clear and concise language, ensuring everyone can grasp the issue without getting lost in technical jargon. So, buckle up, and let's get this sorted out, pun absolutely intended!
The Bug: Stuck Sort Filter
Okay, so the main issue here is that the 'Sort' filter on the Enatega Customer Application's restaurant page doesn't want to be removed. You select a sorting option—like 'distance' or 'rating'—and it's locked in. No matter what you do, you can't seem to clear the filter and go back to the default view or apply a different sorting method. This is a big problem because it limits user's ability to browse and explore restaurants efficiently. Imagine you've filtered by 'distance' to find nearby options, but you then want to switch to 'rating' to find the best-reviewed restaurants. You can't! You're stuck with the initial 'distance' filter, which totally messes up the whole experience.
The user experience is key, and this bug directly impacts it. A user might assume that tapping the filter again would deselect it, or that there would be a clear 'reset' or 'clear' option. When these expected behaviors don't work, it leads to frustration and a sense of the app not working correctly. The user might think they're doing something wrong or that the app is simply broken. They may end up closing the app and looking for another solution, which is something we definitely want to avoid. Fixing this bug is crucial not just for user satisfaction, but also for ensuring users find the restaurants they want and ultimately use the app.
This bug report is designed to provide all the information required to replicate and fix the issue. We're looking at specific steps, what happens, and what should happen. The goal is to provide a clear path for the developers to understand the issue and implement the necessary solution. This will make the app user-friendly. We'll also cover the platform, operating system, and the device being used, giving the dev team the complete picture. Let's make this app the best it can be, one bug fix at a time!
Impact on Users
This bug significantly affects users. Think about it: they can't easily change how they view the restaurants. If they initially sort by distance but then want to see the highest-rated places, they're out of luck. They either have to live with the distance filter or resort to closing and reopening the app, which is a massive inconvenience. It disrupts the natural flow of browsing and makes the app feel clunky and unresponsive. Ultimately, it means users might spend less time on the app and potentially miss out on discovering new restaurants.
The frustration of being stuck with a filter is amplified by the fact that users expect certain behaviors. They expect to be able to toggle filters on and off easily. They expect a clear way to reset or clear all applied filters. When these expectations aren't met, it leads to a negative user experience. Users might feel like they're wasting time and will likely seek out alternative apps that provide a more seamless and intuitive experience. User retention is key, and issues like these can cause a significant drop in user satisfaction and app usage.
From a business perspective, the inability to easily sort and filter restaurants can also limit the visibility of certain restaurants. For instance, a new restaurant might offer excellent food but be located further away. With a broken sorting feature, this restaurant might not get the same exposure as those nearby. This affects all restaurants listed on the app, ultimately hurting their business, which can be avoided by fixing the filter issue.
How to Reproduce the Bug
Reproducing this bug is super easy. Here's a step-by-step guide to get it to happen every time:
- Open the Enatega Customer Application: Start by launching the app on your device.
- Navigate to the 'Restaurants' Page: Find the 'Restaurants' option in the main menu (usually represented by a button).
- Explore the Filters: Check the available filters; this is where you'll find the 'Sort' option.
- Select a Sort Option: Choose any sorting method—'distance,' 'rating,' etc. Apply the filter.
- Try to Remove the Filter: Attempt to deselect or remove the applied sort filter (tap again, look for a 'clear' button, etc.).
- Observe the Issue: Notice that the filter remains active and cannot be removed.
That's it, guys! That's all it takes to trigger the bug. We're looking for the filter to disappear after we try to remove it. We want to be able to easily switch between sorting options or go back to viewing restaurants without any sorting applied. This issue is reproducible on every device, making it a priority to fix. The above steps offer a clear guide for the development team to quickly locate and identify the issue. This ease of reproduction is a key factor when reporting software bugs because it allows for efficient testing and resolution.
