@sobitneupane reported a bug that Applause reported after that ended up getting fixed internally so Sobit is owed $250 for reporting.

@sobitneupane hired you, can you accept then I'll pay $250 for reporting the issue? https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~01a76a5fbc7fcb7a60

Sorry @strepanier03 , I should have assigned myself before you were auto-assigned triage, no action needed from you

Accepted.

@mallenexpensify, I just wanted to know the policy here. Do expensify pay for reporting a regression even if it hasn't hit the staging or production. Because I saw a comment earlier where it was stated that we don't and in this case the issue was reported before it was deployed to staging.

Paid @sobitneupane $250. Leaving this open til the below is resolved.

hmm.... good question @Puneet-here , thanks for asking.

To make sure I understand correctly. From @sobitneupane 's bug report here the reported version is v1.1.68-2, are you saying that, on May 29th, when this was reported, that v1.1.68-2 wasn't a production release? Based on the issue QA reported (link), that's what it looks like

So.. if it's on staging, then we would compensate based on CONTRIBUTING.md here

The one piece I'm unsure on is the regression part, if the above doesn't answer you question can you rephrase and/or expand on the regression part?

Thank for answering.

Oh I was just asking if we also paying contributors for reporting regression before it hits the staging because this one was reported before getting to staging but I just found after few hours of reporting it was deployed to staging.

it's good to be closed now. Thank you.
