442995 - Weave FirstRun Wizard: "Current email address" field doesn't catch reused email addresses if they contain "+"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Cloud Services :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Using the FirstRun Wizard, create a Weave account, using an email address with a "+" in it. (e.g. [e-mail] )
 2. Using the FirstRun Wizard, create a second weave account using the exact same email address.
   --> Weave allows me to continue with account creation, not warning that email address is in use!
 3. Progress to "Step 3/5" (captcha screen) and click "Next"
   --> Red error message "Emali in use" [sic] appears in lower-right corner.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
 - Weave should warn back at Step 1 about the email being in use, as it does with other email addresses.
 - "Emali" should be spelled correctly, in the fallback warning on step 3. :)

(Note: using a '+' in email addresses is particuarly useful in gmail -- see http://www.tech-recipes.com/google_tips980.html for more.)

VERSION INFO:
 * Weave 0.2.0

You can now register multiple accounts with the same email, so this bug does not apply anymore.
