Weird bug regarding setting up a phase (certain dates are locked)

[seroy123]

Hi Codabench team!

I have a weird bug where I cant modify the end date of a phase. It seems picking an end date during March is locked:

Thanks!
Roy.

I could more or less reproduce this by playing with the dates. I think you can just exit the interface and come back and it should be fine.

Thanks for the quick response!

I tried closing the interface and playing with the dates but no luck. Can you try and pinpoint what solved it for you?

• Are you able to select a date when you click edit phase and directly select a date in the calendar?
• Are you blocked after you select a date and then want to select another date?

From the main competition page, I go edit -> Phases -> Edit Phase (i have two phases, i select the first one, which i want to edit) -> Click on the End Date and the calendar is locked as in the image above.

The start date is fine though... I just cant alter the End date which in turn prevents me checking the second phase which starts after the first one. I cant change the end date to yesterday or today so i can check the second phase.

Thanks!!
Roy.

I checked this issue a bit more and it looks like when you already have an end date in a phase, the calendar is locked before that date.

@seroy123 is this a critical point for you? What date do you want to select for your phase and which phase is it. Can you share the competition link with us? If your competition is private, you can send us details on info@codalab.org

Actually, the bug you mentioned is a different one (which I haven't reported). This issue can be manually fixed by clearing the current date by deleting the content in the textbox.

It’s unrelated to dates in other phases—I believe it’s just a frontend bug on the webpage.

Encountered this bug too. Couldn't we simply have no locked dates?

I think the problem lies somewhere here:

codabench/src/static/riot/competitions/editor/_phases.tag

Line 435 in 929a6cb

// Create a new options object for the start date calendar by combining 'date_options'
