Description

Session Goal

The primary objective of this session was to debug and enhance the backend system responsible for handling paper-related API endpoints, specifically focusing on the ‘/api/papers’ endpoint.

Key Activities

  • Implemented code to read backend Python files and safely print their content for analysis.
  • Conducted a regex-based search to identify and extract functions related to the ‘/api/papers’ endpoint.
  • Utilized regular expressions to locate function definitions and occurrences within the codebase.
  • Investigated the backend server’s response to identify issues with empty paper listings, diagnosing potential root causes and applying server patches.

Achievements

  • Successfully extracted and analyzed functions handling the ‘/api/papers’ endpoint.
  • Improved the backend’s response handling by identifying and addressing issues causing empty paper listings.
  • Applied server patches to enhance diagnostics and prevent transient issues.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing is required to ensure the robustness of the applied patches and the stability of the backend server’s response to paper API requests.
