[Resolved] Wrong checker for a challenge

[Resolved] Wrong checker for a challenge
October 04, 2020 08:23PM
Hi

Was looking at a challenge in Denmark, and realized the checker does not check for the correct thing.

https://coord.info/GC220H8

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC220H8/31276

The requirements are to log all Traditionals placed on the island of Funen (Fyn) on or before Dec 31st 2009. If a cache is disabled or archived, it is disregarded for the challenge.

But the checker just checks if you have found 10 specific caches, most, if not all, are not even placed on Funen.

So the checker need to check for:

1) Traditionals
2) Placed on/before Dec 31st 2009.
3) That are not disabled or archived.
4) Located in the following counties:
-"Middelfart"
-"Nordfyn"
-"Assens"
-"Odense"
-"Faaborg-Midtfyn"
-"Kerteminde"
-"Nyborg"
-"Svendborg"
5) That you do not own.

Technically any caches placed on the small islands around Funen should not be included,but I take that's too much work, to rule out potentially a handfull of caches?

Thanks in advance!

Just went through old caches in those counties, not located on Funen and not included in the list on the cache page.

Following 12 caches are not needed for the challenge, even though they are within the correct counties:

GCNKV0 Æbelø Fyr
GC13BE7 Madia@Lyø
GC17WG8 Skovhytten
GC1A409 Tag kiggert med
GC1AXJT Valborgs Madkasse
GC1B6KJ PILEKROGEN
GC1B7WH Jernmanden i træet
GC1BT7Q 100 meter skoven
GC1FDTP På kanten af Tåsinge
GC1W3AH Arne Hansen
GC20DED Isla Avernak
GC20GYE Tåsinge flyveplads

Here is a new checker for this

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC220H8/55277

It requires currently 121 finds (See debug output for details)

Some finders do not qualify this. Maybe more caches should be excluded from the challenge?

Looks great.

Regarding people not fulfilling it, I have found one cache that meets all the requirements for the challenge, but for some reason are not on the list provided by the CO on the cache page, probably an oversight, but since the challenge is to find the caches on his list, it should probably be removed from the checker.

GC6QE8D

Furthermore, these caches have been unarchived, and thus not included in the challenge per the requirements:

GC16WVW
GC1DVE8
GC1Q6TT
GC1BG6N
GC15TQ3

There might be more false positives, but those are the missing caches for those that currently are marked as not fulfilling it by the PGC plugin.

Also, would it be possible to unlink the old checker, as I have a feeling it still marks some people at fulfilling it, even though they don't fulfill the actual challenge.

Thanks for the hard work! :D

All listed caches have been excluded from the challenge checker.
115 caches required now. It will automatically adjust for disabled and archived caches.
