[Bug 1962454] Re: Oops pages show wrong time window in JournalErrors

[Daniel van Vugt]

Done, although the test plan is still a little vague requiring you to
wait some time _after_ the update is released to verify. An alternate
test plan would involve intentionally crashing something on the local
machine.

And sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Oops pages show wrong time window in JournalErrors. For example, I just
  experienced a crash at:
  
    Feb 28 17:31:12
  
  And the JournalErrors entries are:
  
    Feb 28 17:31:30 - Feb 28 17:31:41
  
  So don't relate to the crash.
  
  [Test Plan]
  
+ 1. Find a recent crash report from a relevant Ubuntu release on
+ https://errors.ubuntu.com/ If you're looking at
+ https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/SOMETHING then scroll down and pick a
+ relevant instance from the Occurrences list.
+ 
+ 2. Now you're on a page starting with https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/
+ look at the Date and JournalErrors fields.
+ 
+ 3. Verify that Date falls within the time range of the JournalErrors
+ entries.
+ 
  [Where problems could occur]
  
- Worst case - In any part of the bug reporting/collection procedure,
+ Worst case - in any part of the bug reporting/collection procedure,
  since that is what's changing.
