(Bugzilla :: Administration, task)

Description

[Jason Brittain]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20060212 Fedora/1.7.12-5
Build Identifier: cvs HEAD ("version 2.23.3+")

After updating on CVS HEAD, I can no longer add a component to my product.



Software error:

Can't call method "name" on unblessed reference at /var/www/html/bugzilla/editcomponents.cgi line 175.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([e-mail]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit the components of a product.
2. Click Add.
3. Fill in some details of the new component.
4. Click Add again to add the component.
Actual Results:  
I am presented with an error page that says:

Software error:

Can't call method "name" on unblessed reference at /var/www/html/bugzilla/editcomponents.cgi line 175.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([e-mail]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.


Expected Results:  
The component gets added.

It was working before I updated via cvs.  I will see if I can roll back to
a previous version to see if I can get around the problem that way.

I'm marking the severity as major since we cannot use this bugzilla without
being able to add our components.. feel free to lower the severity if that
doesn't conform to your existing severity scheme, of course.

Thanks.

Actually, this was because my Bugzilla/Component.pm was not all the way
up to date.  The latest in HEAD (rev 1.15) apparently fixes the problem.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the fix!
