1059419 - Needinfo-ing a mentor doesnt work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, defect)

Description

[Ricardo Maçãs [:Ricmacas]]

Steps to reproduce:
While needinfo-ing a mentor here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1051221
I ran into an issue that when I selected mentor, the checkbox would be checked and the mentor's name would be filled in the box, but after submitting there was no needinfo to be seen.

What should happen:
Needinfo the mentor

What happened:
No needinfo.

Trying it out now!

Ricardo just tried to need-info the mentor for this bug while I was assigned as mentor. That wasn't reflected in this bug and I didn't get an email. Confirming that it's a problem! :)

Help me, Obi-Wan Ricardo, you're my only hope. 

(This is a test!)

Comment 4

[Ricardo Maçãs [:Ricmacas]]

Ok that didnt work either.

This is probably related to some recent refactoring of the bug mentoring field on the back end. I will investigate this further.

putting the mentor into the 'other' field makes that field's behaviour inconsistent.

when a bug is first opened, the 'other' field is empted.  after selecting reporter/assignee/myself from the needinfo menu and then 'other', it is still empty.  however with this patch, if you select a mentor and then 'other', the field is populated with the selected mentor.  this shouldn't happen.

resetting the assignedto field due to inactivity.  I am not sure if this is still a valid bug, glob could you comment on that?

Comment 9

[Byron Jones ‹:glob› 🎈]

yes, it's still valid.
reassigning back to dkl to put on his radar.
