[BUG]: Invisible Input Field for Promo Bar Message in Misc Tab of Release Coordinator about oppia HOT 10 OPEN

Hi @Akhilesh-max! I'd love to take on this issue.

Hi @sidharth-05, that would be great!
However, before do we assign you, according to the guidelines, it would be really helpful if you could provide a brief explanation of what your PR will do. This includes the names of the files you’re planning to change and what modifications you intend to make in each file. If everything looks good, we’d be more than happy to assign you to this issue.

Thanks.

@Akhilesh-max

To resolve the issue of the input field being invisible, I can simply add the ‘visibility: visible;’ property to ensure the text is displayed correctly. This adjustment should be made in the relevant CSS section for the oppia-promo-bar-config-field class.

FilePath: oppia/core/templates/pages/release-coordinator-page/release-coordinator-page.component.html’

With this change, the input should be visible and not hidden. If this is not the issue most likely it is a problem in the HTML Structure.

If all is well, PR should be made in 1-2 days.

Final question: I also wanted to ask whether anyone has addressed a way to speed up the time to start the developer server? Currently, it seems to take atleast 10 minutes to start up which seems a bit too long.

@sidharth-05 There's one more thing we need to ask you. Why is this bug happening in the first place -- what PR caused it? (See the "Tips for developers" in the issue description.)

Understanding this is important to verify that what you propose is actually the correct fix, and not a hack.

For the question about the dev server, please start a new thread in GitHub Discussions for it, and provide more details so that the dev workflow team can take a look at it. Thanks!

@seanlip @Akhilesh-max After checking git blame, I believe the issue was caused from PR #18326. This was the most recent PR about an year ago. In this PR the 'Promo-bar config' changed to 'Enable Promo-Bar' and same for the Promo-Bar message. If in fact, this issue was not present while developing the release-coordinator-page.component.html file this must be the reason for the invisible field. But, nothing prompts me to think anything that was changed for the PR, would cause the issue though as none of the CSS code was changed only the names of the labels.

Ah, good find, thanks -- I took a look at the video on that PR and the field is missing there, so I think you are probably right that this was an issue since the feature was introduced. /cc @lkbhitesh07 for info.

One last thing to check: can you show a video/screenshot of the promo bar after your proposed changes?

from oppia.

@seanlip Here is the video of the new update.

Lmk when I should make the PR.

@sidharth-05 If I'm looking at the video correctly, the input field still doesn't seem visible before you click it?

from oppia.

@seanlip Sorry I submitted the wrong video. Here is the correct one:

Changing the visibility was not the only issue it seems, because it would still disappear when you click out of it. So I just added a box on css for this the updates I made to the code are below. Lmk if any changes.

@sidharth-05 I've assigned you, thanks. Go for it!
