I am new to open-suorce development and to phpmyadmin. Please tell me how should I test this bug?And where should I edit the code to resolve it? Do I have to make changes in my local master branch?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I believe you are right. Sorry about not being clear about my question. I
have been trying to test many bugs, but i couldn't. I asked other people
about it . They told me that the bugs are on the master branch, so I have
to test it there. I just want to clarify whether thay were referring to my
local master branch or not? And if i change any code my local master
branch, how could i see its effect on gui?
Please forgive me for such beginner level doubts. But I am really desperate
to do real good development.
Hi,
have a look at https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Developer_guidelines#Branches_in_Git.
About bug 4667, Milestone is marked "4.3.3" so most likely it's a bug happening on the 4.3.3 release. Bugfix for this is done on the QA_4_3 branch, for a future 4.3.4 release. Then, the fix is merged to the master branch for a future version.
You probably have read http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/devel.php.
Then, if you cloned our repository, you have a copy of the code and you can do you testing on your repository, doing a "git checkout" for the branch you want to test.
To see the effect on the GUI, well, it's difficult to reply without knowing your development environment. The trick is to have a web server document directory in which you installed the git repository. Then when you visit this directory via http, you are running phpMyAdmin from the repository.

Thank you Marc for your help. Regarding my development environment, i have
cloned the forked git repository in my home directory in ubuntu 14.04 lts
and to access the gui, i browse the local directory in Google Chrome
browser through url:- https://localhost/phpmyadmin through browser tab.
I tried making changes in php files stored in
home/phpmyadmin/libraries/.php files. But those changes are not reflected
in the GUI accessed like I shown above.
Tapan,
this discussion should happen on the phpmyadmin-devel mailing list. As a quick answer, your results mean that you should not clone the repository in your home directory, but in the directory used by the web server when accessing phpmyadmin. Your question should be directed to http://serverfault.com
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I believe this has been fixed for 4.3.4 with https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/66c7c04582e01b0a6e1f968b98197533c0dd9efc
Please confirm.
