Resolved: Applying to a Design Challenge

cstanton

We're currently aware that there may be an issue since the development release on the 9th of August that may affect Design Challenge applications.

At present, you can apply to a design challenge, but if you want to update your application by applying again, you may encounter an error or be unable to.

The development team are aware and they're working on a hotfix to resolve the issue which should be today or early next week if it's a prevalent issue.

If you experience this you may still report it in Feedback and Support

    I've fixed this issue now and have hotfixed the code to the site.

    This has taken quite a bit of work. RoadTests, Design Challenges, Quizzes and eBook downloads all go through the same code base using a form provider that can be changed adhoc and changed on a per usage basis, so we can change the enrollment form for an individual RoadTest or Design Challenge.

    This customizability comes with some coding challanges, not least the fact that making a change in one area can break something elsewhere without us realising. The end result is a little fragile and prone to getting cached in a way that makes it very difficult to update the code. Caching challenges also make it very difficult to test, as we make a change but the old code remains cached in browsers, making things look like they will work but then fall over not long after release as the caches clear.

    In this case, the original change was a large one, we changed the plumbing on how all the code gets loaded in, trying to make things a little less fragile. We should now be able to cache bust the code and make things much easier to release and much easier to test, but in the process of making this change, I managed to break the code that allows for multiple applications to be made to a design challenge. The one thing I did not want to do was to kneejerk to fix one issue and make matters worse elsewhere.

    Should you have any problems enrolling to a Design Challenge or a RoadTest (or any other part of the site!), please don't hesitate to reach out in Feedback and Support. We read every message you post there.
