[eSteem Surfer] [Version 1.0.6] - When clicking links from busy.org, the user is redirected to the Feed

Project Information

• Repository:
  https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-surfer
• Project Name: eSteem Surfer
• Publisher (if applicable): Feruz Muradov / @good-karma

Expected behavior

In reading posts/blogs/comments in eSteem Surfer wherein the content of that certain posts/blogs has Busy links, when clicking for those links; those links should be opened within the eSteem Surfer or the least should be open in a web browser, say Google Chrome or any other web browser.

Actual behavior

I detected the bug when I read the review comment of @tobias-g in my bug-hunting contribution for eSteem mobile application, and since it was provided with links I clicked this link, after clicking, it gets directed to the Feed.

How to reproduce

• Download the official installer for eSteem Surfer, refer to the official site for the version 1.0.6 release of eSteem Surfer.
• Open eSteem Surfer.

I will be showing two ways to reproduce the bug: first one is by looking for a post that has a busy link in its content and the second one would be making your own comment/post wherein you will be placing a link from busy.

For the first one

• Look for a post/comment that has link coming from busy.org.
• Try clicking for the link.
• The bug occurs, wherein the user is directed to its Feed.

For the second one
As for my case, I did a reply to my own post.

• The first step I did is place a link from Steemit which is this one, the very reason for that was to test if the bug affects Steemit links or not.
• Second, I place a link from busy and I choose this one.
• After submitting the comment, try clicking for both the links from Steemit and Busy.
• The bug occurs when the link from busy is clicked.

App Version and Device OS:

• Browser/App version: eSteem Surfer (Version 1.0.5 at the time of detection) and still persists in the latest version, version 1.0.6
• Device: HP Notebook
• Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit

Recording Of The Bug

This recording of the bug is done in Version 1.0.5

• First way (Clicking a busy link from the content on a certain post/comment)
  GIF/Screen Recording
  
• Second way (Replying to a certain post, wherein link from busy is placed in the content of the reply and clicking the link form busy)

Since there are two GIFs/screen recordings for this way of replicating the bug; the first GIF/screen recording, the Steemit link didn’t work and upon doing a counter-checking, the Steemit link in the second GIF/screen recording when clicked is being displayed in eSteem Surfer, thereby making the bug only affecting the links from busy.org.

First GIF/Screen Recording

Second GIF/Screen Recording

GIF/Screencast for the new version, Version 1.0.6

ScreenToGif desktop application was used in making the GIF/screen recording, whereas Google Chrome Version 67.0.3396.87 was used in obtaining links from Busy and Steemit.

Possible Solution

• Fixed/make busy.org links readable or analyzed as a link from Steemit to make it displayed in eSteem Surfer when clicked.
