Submissions should be allowed only within start and end dates

[saravanabalagi]

I created a competition with 2 phases both of which are starting in the future.

What's happening:

• CodaBench allows submitting to both phases
• Interestingly, Test phase (with later start date) is highlighted/selected by default when the page reloads.

Expected:

• CodaBench does not allow the user to submit until the phase begins.
• Submissions are allowed only between start and end dates.
• The phase with the earliest phase is highlighted/selected by default.

Good catch, thank you for reporting.

@Didayolo Do you know why this happens, if yes, can you point me where I should look? I'm happy to contribute.

Also, is there any estimate of effort/time required for the fix? I understand that it could take time to fix the issues, but is this production ready at the moment, or should I fallback to CodaLab?

@saravanabalagi Sorry for missing your message.

You're welcome to contribute! As it is, I don't know why this happens, it needs some investigation.

But is this production ready at the moment, or should I fallback to CodaLab?

The most annoying bugs are listed here:

We are working hard on stabilizing the platform, and I'd say it's almost production ready.
The problem with account sign in is a bit frustrating when inviting users to a competition/benchmark, and some other bug like the one your just mention can be blocking. A good idea is to test in depth your competition and to see if it's working well.

@Didayolo no problem, thanks for the info. I will try to look into into it when I get time :)
