Steps to reproduce

1. go to recipe page
2. click on any recipe
3. do comment on that recipe
4. refresh page
5. see error

What was the expected result?

the expected functionality is that when we comment on any recipe , it should be display on that recipe page for everyone who is logged in after refreshing the page.

Proposed solution

This can be implemented by optimizing the relationship between the schemas with populate and by making an appropriate REST api for comments.

@Saurabhchaudhary9799 you are correct!
Please fix this, I am not sure if this feature is even implemented properly or not.
So please check if the backend storage for comments is there or not, if not please implement it.
Test the following cases after implementation:

1. Comments stay event after refreshing.
2. Other user's comments are visible to another account user.

[Saurabhchaudhary9799]

@AlfiyaSiddique , Please add level3 label

[AlfiyaSiddique]

@Saurabhchaudhary9799 Level 3 is added when a feature is implemented from scratch and I think level 2 is fair for the PR.
Also, issue does not need a Level label it is counted from the PR

One more thing, the comments are not visible on the deployed link after merging:

can you check once

[Saurabhchaudhary9799]

@AlfiyaSiddique , comment are perfectly working on local machine . But i will check this issue for sure.

[AlfiyaSiddique]

Yeah please check it once as it is not working on deployed

[AlfiyaSiddique]

I have explored it a bit and found the following behavior.
Certain comments are visible to the logged-in account user but when the logged-in account user posts a comment it is not visible.
Please check this once

[AlfiyaSiddique]

Also, one more thing to add it is visible in the deploy preview but not in the deployed URL:

I am opening this issue again @Saurabhchaudhary9799, let me know if you want to work on this, if not will assign to someone else

[Saurabhchaudhary9799]

The comments are working properly in local setup.
@AlfiyaSiddique , I want to ask that where have you deployed your backend server

[AlfiyaSiddique]

That's confidential. Let me know if any configuration change is needed from my side.
Also, can you share a video where the comments are visible after they are posted from the account and even when the page is refreshed?

[AlfiyaSiddique]

Also please test once on the deployed link as well. Some recipes display comments while some do not

@AlfiyaSiddique , Please check once that there is no error in deploying the server from your side
