188161 - assignee/qa missing change knobs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect, P1)

Description

[Grzegorz Stelmaszek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)
Build Identifier: 

After installation of bugzilla-2.17.3 it's no longer possible to edit bugs i'm 
assigned to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




I've investigated this problem, and revealed that the cause is a bug in Bug.pm.
At the beginning of it, variable $self->{'assigned_to'} is an object of type 
Bugzilla::User. Unfortunetally later, there is an equality test made to 
evaluate canedit variable. At this point there is a type mismatch error because 
the object is compared to a string. After fixing this equality to to compare 
two ints, everything seems to work fine.

This sounds sort of like bug 186994, but not quite.

Bug 186994 is about the template not displaying the option to change the bug to
ASSIGNED when it should and is currently on bmo.  This bug appears to be a
backend issue introducted when moving to Bug.bm, which IIRC is not currently on
bmo (otherwise I'm sure we would have had far more reports).

Attachment: fix

We have to check that the qa_contact exists, but can't use |defined|, because
of the AUTOLOAD return. Not sure why it returns '' instad of undef, mind you,
but I'm not going to try to unravel that now...
