User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0, Firefox 2.0.0.11, Testopia 1.3 BETA2, Bugzilla 3.0.2

Using the Testopia version in Build Identifier, select boxes fail to populate when they are AJAX enabled. Using Firebug, you can trace the tr_quicksearch.cgi call, and read the response, which contains an error. The error is: "Can't locate object method autoconv via package JSON"

My environment was built using CPAN to get the required Perl modules, including the JSON module. As of today, the JSON version available on CPAN is 2.01. In this version, autoconv has been moved to its own module. This is causing the the tr_quickseach.cgi call to fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Testopia 1.3 BETA2
2. Install JSON 2.01 from CPAN
3. Attempt to add a new test case.
Actual Results:  
Product Version select box doesn't populate.

Expected Results:  
Product Version select box should populate.

My solution was to downgrade the JSON version to 1.14. You can remove the JSON 2.01 CPAN installed version using the information here: http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_delete_Perl_modules.

Then, Fedora at least (likely other Redhat distros as well), you can "yum install perl-JSON". This will get you version 1.14 of JSON through Fedora package management.
Summary: Product Version select list fails to populate. (Others fail as well.) → testopia is not compatible with new JSON
It can also be downloaded from CPAN.org directly at http://search.cpan.org/~makamaka/JSON-1.14/
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
While this resolved my instance of the bug, the information included re: removing a Perl module is out of date. The link no longer points to the correct information.

Correct procedure assuming CPAN was used for the install -

$> perl -MCPAN -e shell 
> look JSON
(output from CPAN, land in shell in directory containing JSOD source files)
# perl Makefile.PL
# make uninstall

Uninstall is unsafe and deprecated, the uninstallation was not performed.
We will show what would have been done.

(List of 11 or so files to be deleted) 

Uninstall is unsafe and deprecated, the uninstallation was not performed.
Please check the list above carefully, there may be errors.
Remove the appropriate files manually.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

# rm (copy in file paths from above) 

# exit
 (Back to CPAN)

> exit

$ install older version of JSON by any method
Thanks very much for this info, Matt.
Steps to install JSON

perl -MCPAN -e shell 
install M/MA/MAKAMAKA/JSON-1.14.tar.gz
exit

I then restarted Apache and nothing had changed. I reboots (shutdown -r now) and when the server started back up (Ubuntu 7.10 with LAMP) everything was working fine.
I still get JSON errors with 1.14 and 1.13. Anyone know where to get 1.07?
What kind of errors? Testopia has been tested with 1.14 and is known to work.
This is going to be very unhelpful... they started working auto-magically a couple of days later.

Sorry.. no more repro.
