Plots2: Add new line character to the message displayed on dashboard

[ananyaarun]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

@publiclab/community-reps agree with the design?

[madeofhuman]

I'm an Outreachy applicant and I'd love to work on this, @gauravano.

Although, we are waiting for a word from @publiclab/community-reps but you can go ahead. Thanks!

@gauravano I ran into a problem when setting up the repo on my system. I followed the instructions up to rake db:setup where I got the error Mysql2::Error: The used table type doesn't support FULLTEXT indexes, which on further tracing, led me to db/schema.rb:58:

add_index "comments", ["comment"], name: "index_comments_on_comment", type: :fulltext if ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name == 'Mysql2'

I also got a notification to add Mysql2 to my Gemfile.

Now, the problem is that I ran bundle install with --without production mysql flag, and was using the sqlite database config file, so I should not have been getting Mysql errors.

I traced the error further and got to the file config/initializers/abstract_mysql2_adapter.rb. When I commented out the contents of this file and ran rake db:setup again, everything worked fine.

What do you think could be the problem here? Do I create an issue for this?

@madeofhuman feel free to open a new issue for this, so that other can also help us in resolving this issue. Also, we are having some discussion about database errors and using a single database, you are welcome to chime there.

Here are the links- https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4936, https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4919, https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4896 .

Thanks!

@gauravano I see you had the same problem in #4936. I added mine (and my solution) as a comment to it. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Thanks, everyone but this issue is not required for now. We'll handle it in re-design project.
