339679 - describecomponents.cgi doesn't show components of closed products, even when there are bugs in these products

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[timeless]

steps:
1. use query.cgi and spot the derivatives product and its components
2. ask describecomponents for an explanation.

actual results:
 The product Derivatives does not exist or you don't have access to it. The following is a list of the products you can choose from. 

that's not true. while i might not be able to file bugs in deriviatives, i can see bugs in it. and if i can see bugs in it, i need to be able to read the descriptions of the components.

the rule being used by describecomponents is wrong.

note:
derivatives is closed for bug entry, but it isn't a product i'm not allowed to see, if it was, query wouldn't let me see it.

Oh, this bug actually still exists. Just hit me now in Bugzilla 3.5.

Attachment: patch, v1

If the product exists and the user is allowed to enter or search for bugs in it, then the product and its components should be described. I also added missing POD for get_accessible_products().

I leave my @products = @{$user->get_enterable_products}; at line 49 of describecomponents.cgi alone for now. The right fix is probably to pass a parameter to this script mentioning which products should be displayed (either enterable, selectable or accessible ones). But that's another bug.
