Weights/Percentages Not Sticking

[danielschwartz]

When set in the configuration file like so:

"20140923_product_reviews" => { :alternatives => [{'hide' => 0.75}, {'show' => 0.25}] }

The experiment will still be weighted 1:1. On initialization of alternative the correct weight is being set, but somehow after the fact it is being reset to a weight a 1. I confirmed this by doing the following:

Added a binding.pry to the bottom of the initialization method of the Alternative class and saw that @weight was correctly set. However, after initialization, when looking up the experiment like so: Split::ExperimentCatalog.find("20140923_product_reviews") the weights are set back to 1 for both alternatives.

We're on Split 0.7.2

@danielschwartz do you think you'd be able to write a failing test for this?

[danielschwartz]

Yup, will probably get to it at some point this week.

@andrew @danielschwartz I seem to be having similar issues where the weights aren't sticking, they keep defaulting back to 1:1 . Was this issue ever resolved?

Closing as this issue it's nearly 2 years old, please reopen if it's still affecting you.

This is still happening on the latest version. I ended up creating #521.
