Hi ScanCode.io team,
While following the “Review Scan Results (Web UI)” tutorial, I noticed that the documentation and the current UI no longer match:
The tutorial refers to an “Errors” area (or error section) in the project UI where you can see the number of errors in a project and review them. In the current ScanCode.io version (e.g. v36.x), the project page instead shows a “Messages” counter at the top, and I do not see a dedicated “Errors” box anymore.
From the changelog, I can see that ProjectError was migrated to a more generic ProjectMessage model with INFO / WARNING / ERROR severities, so it looks like the UI and terminology were updated accordingly, but the tutorial still uses the old wording.
What I’m seeing
- Project header shows:
Packages, Dependencies, Resources, Messages.
- No separate “Errors” widget as shown/described in the tutorial.
- I have attached screenshots taken from my local ScanCode.io instance that show the current UI.
What I would propose
- Update the tutorial text to refer to “Messages” instead of “Errors”, and explain that messages can be of type INFO / WARNING / ERROR.
- Update the screenshots in
docs/tutorial_web_ui_review_scan_results.rst so that they match the current project page layout (with the Messages counter instead of an Errors section).
- Optionally add a short note that older screenshots/UI referred to “Errors”, which have since been generalized into project messages.
I’m happy to open a PR to update the .rst file and screenshots if this change in terminology is confirmed as the intended behavior.
Thanks for the great project!
