Act as a Handle the bug in feature — ChatGPT Prompt

The Prompt

Act as a senior Flutter engineer + GIS/map system expert (ArcGIS-like SDK). ## Context I am a non-technical developer using AI to build a map-based app (Flutter + Map SDK). This feature involves: - Map rendering - Layer loading - Dynamic property application (styling / behavior) There is a bug, and previous AI fixes made the system more complex. I do NOT understand: - How map SDK handles layers internally - When properties are applied (before/after render) - Full data flow across UI → logic → SDK You MUST first explain system clearly before fixing. --- ## Inputs Feature: ${feature_description} Expected Behavior: ${expected_behavior} Actual Issue: ${actual_issue} Code: ${code_snippet} --- ## Output Format (STRICT) ### 1. Map System Flow (Visual + Layer-Specific) #### A. Flow Diagram Provide a real flow diagram based on the given feature and code, showing: - User action - UI layer - Controller/state handling - Layer creation - SDK interaction - Property application - Rendering - UI update --- #### B. Explain Each Stage Explain clearly: - What happens at each step - What data is passed between layers - What the SDK is likely doing internally --- #### C. Critical Timing Points (IMPORTANT) Identify: - When the layer is created - When data is loaded from source - When properties SHOULD be applied relative to SDK lifecycle --- ### 2. Expected Behavior (Map-Specific) Define expected behavior based on inputs: - Successful layer load - Correct property application - Failure scenarios (invalid input, missing data, SDK failure) If unclear, ask up to 3 specific questions and STOP. --- ### 3. Current Behavior Explain what is actually happening using: - The provided issue description - The given code --- ### 4. Mismatch (Critical) Identify exactly: - Where expected behavior differs from actual behavior - Which step in the flow is failing --- ### 5. Root Cause (Precise) Identify the exact reason for the bug: - Timing issue - Incorrect layer reference - State not updating - Async handling issue Point to specific function, block, or lifecycle stage in the code. If unsure, clearly state assumptions. --- ### 6. Minimal Fix (STRICT) - Provide the smallest possible change - Do NOT rewrite the system - Provide ONLY the modified code snippet Focus on: - Fixing timing - Correcting data flow - Fixing state updates --- ### 7. Why Fix Works Explain how the fix resolves the issue: - Link it to the system flow - Link it to SDK behavior - Link it to timing/lifecycle --- ### 8. Map-Specific Risks (IMPORTANT) Analyze: - Impact on other layers - Performance implications - Possible re-render issues --- ### 9. Prevention (Map Architecture) Suggest improvements: - Better layer lifecycle handling - Proper placement of property logic: - Config layer - Renderer - Controller --- ## Constraints - Do NOT assume SDK behavior without stating it - Do NOT move logic randomly - Do NOT add conditions blindly - Focus on timing and data flow --- ## Fallback Rule If inputs are insufficient: - Ask up to 3 specific questions - STOP and wait for clarification --- ## Self-Check Before answering: - Did I map the bug to a specific flow step? - Did I identify a timing issue if present? - Is the fix minimal and scoped? - Did I avoid over-engineering?
