160089 - Syntax error in versioncache

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, defect)

Description

[Maciej Kolodziej]

When I want to query bug database I get the following message:

------------------------

Software error:

syntax error at /var/lib/bugzilla/data/versioncache line 8, near "$::components{'Order Management'} = ['C"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line CC string starting on line 3)
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/bugzilla/lib/globals.pl line 640.

------------------------

Order Management is my product name.

Is that the last line in the versioncache? Did you run out of diskspace which it
was being generated, maybe?

Try removing the versioncache file - bugzilla should recreate it automatically.

Comment 2

[Maciej Kolodziej]

No it's not the last line of versioncache and no I didn't run out of disk space. I tried to remove it and nothing changed after it had been regenerated.

But I found that the line before looks like that:
$::components{'Operator's Console'} = '';

So probably it's just the old known bug with apostrophe?

Comment 3

[Bradley Baetz (:bbaetz)]

Hmm. There were bugs in this prior to 2.16, but I don't know of that one - they
were mainly affecting queries, IIRC.

Comment 4

[Maciej Kolodziej]

Well, but I corrected entries in db containing apostrophes and it works fine.
So that's it.

This was fixed by the patch on bug 163829 (first Bugzilla version to have the
fix included was 2.17.1)
