Answer from AI

To diagnose an error when entering login and password and to pass information to the developer, it is necessary to collect as much detailed data as possible:

  1. Reproduction steps: clearly describe what actions were performed — what data was entered, which buttons were pressed.

  2. Error message: copy or take a screenshot of the error message.

  3. Browser logs: open developer tools (F12), go to the Console and Network tabs, repeat the login attempt, and save the logs or take screenshots.

  4. Server response: in the Network tab, find the authorization request, check the response status, response body (e.g., JSON with error).

  5. Application version and environment: specify the browser, OS, application version, URL.

  6. Behavior: describe whether the error occurs always or periodically, whether there are workarounds.

Example of passing information to the developer:


Description: When entering the correct login and password and clicking "Login," an error "Invalid login or password" appears.

Steps:

  1. Open the login page.
  2. Enter login user@example.com.
  3. Enter password Password123.
  4. Click the "Login" button.

Expected result: successful login.

Actual result: error "Invalid login or password."

Logs:

  • No JavaScript errors in the browser console.
  • In Network, the POST /api/login request returns 401 with body:
{"error": "Invalid credentials"}

Environment: Chrome 114, Windows 10, application version 1.2.3.


Such a detailed report will help the developer understand and fix the problem faster.
