712288 - User autocomplete fails with error in JSON/RPC/Server.pm

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 706753

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[Bernd Kuemmerlen]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0
Build ID: 20111206234556

Steps to reproduce:

On a new Bugzilla 4.0.2 install, I noticed that the autocomplete feature did not work in User fields.




Actual results:

Using Firebug (on Firefox 9), I noticed the following error being logged when entering something in a user field (CC, Assignee, etc):

Undefined subroutine &JSON::RPC::Procedure::check called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.12.4/JSON/RPC/Server.pm line 316

./checksetup.pl --check-modules does not log any missing modules (except for mod_perl and Apache-SizeLimit which we are not using). The JSON modules are available:

Checking for             JSON-RPC (any)       ok: found v1.01
Checking for              JSON-XS (v2.0)      ok: found v2.32



Expected results:

The partially entered username should have resolved to a list of users for autocompletion

if you're running debian sid, this is most likely a duplicate of bug 706753.

The OS is Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-server x86_64)

As far as I know, JSON::RPC 1.01 no longer contains JSON/RPC/Server.pm. The last stable version to have it is 0.96. I'm not sure how you managed to get this file doing a call. Looks like a broken package to me.

OK, thanks, after some manual perl module juggling (I didn't realize that Bugzilla also had "local" versions of modules when they were installed through install-module.pl), it finally works now!
