https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9EF3N/62301 - wrong checker ??

Question

The checker for the linked challenge do not seem to correlate

The challenge requires finding caches on 365 days of the year and each one of these has to have a parking available attribute 

The checker itself refers to 365 days and discovering trackables (no mention of attribute) and appears a cloned checker 
 

There is no mention of achieving all 365 days with the required attribute in the checker output 

can this be checked 

Answer 1

You are reading the name of the checker script. The checker script is often very general and can be used for many challenges, the definition of the challenge is then in the checker tag. This script has currently been used for 59 different tags (ie 59 different challenges). It's also not a cloned checker because all cloned checker has the automatically added tag comment of "Cloned from tag 62301" or whatever tag was cloned.

The tag for the checker you're linking is: 

• {
      "attribute": [
          "Parking nearby"
      ],
      "days": 365,
      "exclude_leap": true
  }

So I see nothing wrong with this checker. It checks for 365 days of the parking available/parking nearby attribute. You can read more about how checkers work in the wiki. A good place to start would be: https://project-gc.com/w/Challenge_checker

Comments

Could be argued that the output for the calendar could/should be modified to mention the requirements if the tag uses a requirement like a size, type etc to avoid confusion. But that's a suggestion for the script writer then, nothing is broken or incorrect here.

Thank you - I did think the checker was probably correct - but the output does not mention anything about the parking attribute
There are two aspects to the challenge - find a cache on 365 days of the year and
Each of these have to have a parking attribute.
That makes it sound like there are two facets to the challenge when there is only one 'find a cache with parking attribute on 365 different calendar days'
For me the output only says you have found caches on 365 days of the year as it doesnt mention the attribute

What you could do is contact jpavlik via Geocaching.com and suggest the improvement for the output of checker when the challenge uses a condition like type, size etc.
