Events System - Comprehensive Bug Analysis
CRITICAL BUGS IDENTIFIED:
1. MAJOR: Database Architecture Flaw
File: server/utils/nocodb-events.ts
Issue: The system attempts to use the same table for both Events and RSVPs, causing data corruption
Severity: CRITICAL - System Breaking
Status: PARTIALLY FIXED - Still has configuration issues
2. CRITICAL: Configuration Missing
File: nuxt.config.ts
Issue: Missing events-specific NocoDB configuration properties
Impact: Events system cannot initialize properly
Missing Properties:
eventsBaseIdeventsTableIdrsvpTableId
3. MAJOR: RSVP Functions Wrong Table
File: server/utils/nocodb-events.ts
Issue: All RSVP functions still point to events table instead of RSVP table
Impact: RSVPs stored in wrong table, data corruption
4. CRITICAL: Type Safety Issues
File: server/utils/nocodb-events.ts
Issue: Multiple unknown types causing runtime errors
Impact: Calendar fails to load, RSVP system breaks
5. MAJOR: API Endpoint Issues
Files: All server/api/events/ files
Issue: Recently fixed authentication but still has logical bugs
Remaining Issues:
- No validation of event data
- Missing error handling for database failures
- Inconsistent response formats
6. CRITICAL: Frontend Component Bugs
File: components/CreateEventDialog.vue
Issues:
- Form validation insufficient
- Missing error handling for API failures
- Date/time formatting issues
- No loading states for better UX
7. MAJOR: Calendar Component Issues
File: components/EventCalendar.vue
Issues:
- Event transformation logic flawed
- Mobile view switching problems
- FullCalendar integration missing key features
- No error boundaries for calendar failures
8. CRITICAL: Event Details Dialog Bugs
File: components/EventDetailsDialog.vue
Issues:
- RSVP submission hardcoded member_id as empty string
- Payment info hardcoded instead of from config
- Missing proper error handling
- No loading states
9. MAJOR: UseEvents Composable Issues
File: composables/useEvents.ts
Issues:
- Calendar events function not properly integrated
- Cache key generation problematic
- Error propagation inconsistent
- Date handling utilities missing
10. CRITICAL: Environment Configuration Incomplete
File: nuxt.config.ts and .env.example
Issues:
- Missing events-specific environment variables
- No fallback values for development
- Events base/table IDs not configured
ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEMS:
1. Data Model Confusion
The system tries to store Events and RSVPs in the same table, which is fundamentally wrong:
- Events need their own table with event-specific fields
- RSVPs need a separate table with foreign key to events
- Current mixing causes data corruption and query failures
2. Configuration Inconsistency
Events system references configuration properties that don't exist:
config.nocodb.eventsBaseId- doesn't existconfig.nocodb.eventsTableId- doesn't existconfig.nocodb.rsvpTableId- doesn't exist
3. API Response Inconsistency
Different endpoints return different response formats:
- Some return
{ success, data, message } - Others return raw NocoDB responses
- Frontend expects consistent format
4. Frontend State Management Issues
- No centralized error handling
- Inconsistent loading states
- Cache invalidation problems
- Component state synchronization issues
IMMEDIATE FIXES REQUIRED:
Phase 1 - Critical Infrastructure
- Fix NocoDB configuration in
nuxt.config.ts - Separate Events and RSVPs into different tables/functions
- Fix all TypeScript errors
- Ensure basic API endpoints work
Phase 2 - API Stability
- Standardize API response formats
- Add proper validation and error handling
- Fix authentication integration
- Test all CRUD operations
Phase 3 - Frontend Polish
- Fix component error handling
- Add proper loading states
- Fix form validation
- Test calendar integration
Phase 4 - Integration Testing
- End-to-end event creation flow
- RSVP submission and management
- Calendar display and interaction
- Mobile responsiveness
RECOMMENDED APPROACH:
- Stop using current events system - it will cause data corruption
- Fix configuration first - add missing environment variables
- Separate data models - create proper Events and RSVPs tables
- Rebuild API layer - ensure consistency and reliability
- Fix frontend components - proper error handling and state management
- Full integration testing - ensure entire flow works end-to-end
ESTIMATED EFFORT:
- Critical fixes: 4-6 hours
- Full system stability: 8-12 hours
- Polish and testing: 4-6 hours
- Total: 16-24 hours of focused development time
RISK ASSESSMENT:
- Current system: HIGH RISK - will cause data loss/corruption
- After Phase 1 fixes: MEDIUM RISK - basic functionality restored
- After Phase 2 fixes: LOW RISK - production ready
- After Phase 3-4: MINIMAL RISK - polished and tested
