26514 - isDeleted() doesn't return true for deleted attributes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Directory :: PerLDAP, defect, P3)

Description

[Taras Dowhaluk]

isDeleted always returns false for deleted attributes because of line 310:

  return 0 unless defined($self->{$attr});

i.e. the attribute has been deleted, hence not defined, hence always
returns false.

This line should be removed.

Perhaps as a safeguard _oc_order_ should be checked for a kosher $attr
attribute name.

ooh, I love simple bugs, is there an lxr url to this, I think fixing it should
be really easy.  Reporter, we usuaully accept patches, if you attached one maybe
it would be checked in.  Is PerlLDAP a Sun:Solaris thing or could I move this
bug to All/All?

I reported the bug under Solaris because thats the platform I was working on 
at the time. It really applies to all platforms where PerLDAP can be found.

Unsure of the preferred patching mechanism and how it should be delivered,
but I've just created an attachment for a patch to
 $Id: Entry.pm,v 1.12.4.4 2000/06/25 03:07:46 kevin%perldap.org Exp $

This has apparently already been fixed and checked in, closing it. This will be
in the next PerLDAP release, v1.5, and it's also in the dev branch
(devel-branch-1_4_2).
