Difficulty verifying changes

[chebe]

Hello! I got a brand new dreamhack today, and I'm trying my hand at the simple whitelist bugs, but I can't verify my changes. I'm making changes to ~/dw/cgi-bin/DW/Hooks/EmbedWhitelist.pm, but the tests don't pick up the changes, nor does the behaviour change on my dreamhack. Any one have ideas on what I'm missing?

You may have to restart Apache for mod_perl to pick up changed files.

I've been using stop_apache and start_apache commands, is there another option?

[alierak]

For a Dreamhack, yeah, I think those are the right commands. They're scripts provided in your bin directory; you can always edit them, write your own, make aliases, etc., as needed.

Are you still not seeing behavior change after doing that?

[chebe]

It wasn't, but I cleaned out all the changes and started from scratch and it's working now. Who knows what I was doing! Thank you for walking me through this

If you want to try figuring it out (absolutely not required to), a good starting point would be comparing relevant sections of your shell command history.

PS: did you sign and send your CLA?

I suspect I tried interacting with the service init.d directly, and when it challenged me for a user (or password, or something) I cancelled out abruptly and left it in a bad way maybe? Can't tell you how it recovered, other than I disconnected for a time though.

Yes, I emailed it, do I need to wait on confirmation or anything?

No need to wait before you start working on bugs. If it hasn't already been processed when you submit your first pull request, someone will get back to you if there's any problem.
