"delete" is not shown after deleting child comment.
Project Information
- Repository: https://github.com/steemit/hivemind
- Project Name: Hivemind
- Main issue: https://github.com/steemit/hivemind/issues/208
- Problem on Steemit.com due to this bug: https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3386
Note that PO has already acknowledged the bug (labeled bug see also comment in the issue of condenser). Do not test this on your own unless you're familiar with using API to delete it, since you may not be able to delete your test comment otherwise.
Expected behavior
A user should be able to delete a comment when all child comments are deleted.
Actual behavior
A user cannot delete a comment due to no delete button even after all child comments are deleted.
How to reproduce
(See the recording)
- Write nested comments.
- Delete the child comment and refresh.
- You can't see "delete" anymore no matter how many times you refresh. (Of course, there was no vote or child).
Cause
I analyzed the cause of the bug and the problem was due to the Hivemind's children field, which set to 1 if there is any child comment, 0 otherwise.
Even after deleted, steemd (which uses Hivemind) says that children = 1
api.steemit.com returns children = 0 correctly, so I was able to delete the comment by using API, connecting to api.steemit.com instead of Hivemind.
steemit.com is using Hivemind, so the comment's children field is set to 1 even after deleting all child comments, and that's why delete link is not shown.
- Browser/App version: Any
- Operating system: Any
Recording Of The Bug
- Write nested comments as follows:
- Delete the child comment and refresh
- You can't see "delete" anymore no matter how many times you refresh. (Of course, there was no vote or child).
HI @blockchainstudio, thanks for making this report
I see the PO has acknowledged the bug. Thanks for the detailed analysis, it has the workings of the old block(by block I mean you). It can be tricky if you don't know your way around the API. Good that you improvised by deleting the comment from the api endpoint. Great find
I look forward to more of your reports.

Thank you for your review, @fego! Keep up the good work!
Korean: 현재 스팀잇에서 비용절감을 위해 도입된 Hivemind 버그로 인해 댓글에 대댓글을 달고 대댓글을 지웠어도 댓글을 지울수가 없게 delete 버튼이 안보이는 버그가 있습니다. 뭐 이런 일이 잘 안 생기실거라 신경안쓰셔도 될 것 같습니다. api로 일반노드에 접속해서 지우면 되긴 합니다.
저도 우연히 SCT버그 찾다가 발견했습니다. 현재 SCT의 경우 대댓글이 안보이는 현상이 나오고 있습니다. 그 원인을 찾다 우연히 스팀잇, 엄밀히는 Hivemind에서 일어나는 버그를 발견했네요. 둘이 연관된 버그일 수도 있습니다.
