1035771 - bzexport should still set the bug status to ASSIGNED even when assigned_to doesn't need changing

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Services :: Mercurial: bzexport, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

If attaching a patch to an existing bug, and the current assignee isn't set to the patch author, bzexport sets the assignee and also changes the bug state to ASSIGNED. 

However, if the bug assignee had already been updated [1] then bzexport doesn't change the status to assigned.

        if result['assigned_to']['name'] != taker:
            result['assigned_to'] = {'name': taker}
            if result['status'] != 'RESOLVED':
                result['status'] = 'ASSIGNED'
            req = bz.update_bug(api_server, auth, result)
            try:
                result = json.load(urlopen(ui, req))
                assert result.get('ok', None)
            except Exception, e:
                raise util.Abort(_("Error when updating bug %s: %s") % (bug, result))


[1] eg a workflow where people manually assign a bunch of bugs to themself, and only change the status to ASSIGNED when they are actively working on it
