Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 746038

(Webtools Graveyard :: BzAPI, defect)

Description

[Jon Skarpeteig]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120215223356

Steps to reproduce:

Clean install of Bugzilla 3.6.8 + BzAPI 1.1 - started up ./script/bugzilla_api_server.pl - browsed to /bug/1/history

It appears there's a problem with DateTime parsing, I was able to make it run by introducing the following hack to bugzilla itself:

diff --git a/Bugzilla/WebService.pm b/Bugzilla/WebService.pm index 2ba8e92..1af019a 100644
--- a/Bugzilla/WebService.pm
+++ b/Bugzilla/WebService.pm
@@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ sub login_exempt {
  sub type {
      my ($self, $type, $value) = @_;
      if ($type eq 'dateTime') {
+       $type='string';
          $value = $self->datetime_format_outbound($value);
      }
      return XMLRPC::Data->type($type)->value($value);



Actual results:

Internal server error


Expected results:

This should probably be fixed properly.

I suspect this is because the author of BZ::Client has changed the DateTime parsing, and I haven't updated BzAPI to cope with it.

Can you tell me what version of BZ::Client you are using?

  perl -MBZ::Client -e 'print "$BZ::Client::VERSION\n"'

If you are not using 1.03, try downgrading to 1.03.

Try 1.03 :-)

Jon: ping? Did 1.03 work?

Resolving due to lack of input from reporter.

Don't see how that's relevant? :P Should be easy to reproduce.

Jon: I'm not ignoring the problem. If the problem is what I think it is, then it's a duplicate of bug 746038.
