[gentoo-dev] automated bug filing (i.e. pybugz) failing because of missing token

[gentoo-dev] automated bug filing (i.e. pybugz) failing because of missing token

["Paweł Hajdan, Jr."]

If you wonder why I stopped filing new stabilization request, the
pybugz-based script that was filing those bugs started failing.

I have added some debugging statements to see what's going on, and
here's what https://bugs.gentoo.org says as a response to pybugz's
request to create a new bug:

  <div class="throw_error">
    It looks like you didn't come from the right page (you have no valid
token for
    the <em>create_bug</em> action while processing the
    'post_bug.cgi' script). The reason could be one of:<br>
    <ul>
      <li>You clicked the "Back" button of your web browser after having
successfully
      submitted changes, which is generally not a good idea (but
harmless).</li>
      <li>You entered the URL in the address bar of your web browser
directly,
      which should be safe.</li>
      <li>You clicked on a URL which redirected you here <b>without your
consent</b>,
      in which case this action is much more critical.</li>
    </ul>
    Are you sure you want to commit these changes anyway? This may result in
    unexpected and undesired results.
  </div>

And there is a form below etc. etc. Note that only filing new bugs is
affected (updating existing ones works fine).

It's possible to repro with the command-line bugz tool (bugz ... post).

I'm using pybugz-0.9.3 and I'm connecting to https://bugs.gentoo.org

I posted this issue here because it's not obvious what to do with it.
That version of pybugz worked for me before (20 February 2012).

Any ideas?

I'm guessing it was broken by the upgrade from Bugzilla 4.0 to Bugzilla 4.2.

I think you should file a bug for pybugz. :)

Long term, we may want to consider porting pybugz to use Bugzilla's
XML-RPC api to avoid such breakage.

XML-RPC is shit.

Shame that it requires custom patches to BZ, personally I think the
preferable (and offically supported) method would be JSON-RPC[1]

What about all of the above?  :D  Shouldn't be hard to use the various
support libs to dump the request object to either format, right?

Quoting that page:

Please note that everything about this JSON-RPC interface is
EXPERIMENTAL. If you want a fully stable API, please use the
Bugzilla::WebService::Server::XMLRPC|XML-RPC interface.

This is why I suggested the XML-RPC api.

Right, and indeed I've found existing
<https://github.com/williamh/pybugz/pull/19> (there is patch inside).

William, this is now broken with Gentoo bugzilla. Could you please take
another look at the pull request referenced above.

Thanks.

That is now merged into pybugz-9999, but it had nothing to do with the
bugzilla 4.2 issues.

I will see what else I can come up with, but patches/suggestions are
welcome.

My plan is to add support for the jsonrpc api, which I was going to do
this weekend.

Go for it; actually I wouldn't have a problem with us converting over to
that and dropping the old method of communicating with bugzilla.

Hi all,

here is a quick update on this:

Agreed, and I think that is going to happen sooner than longterm.

I now have a project on my github account called PyZilla, which is a
library for communicating with BugZilla via xmlrpc.  [1] However, it
does not work with python 2.7, which is what I would like.

I emailed the original author since he hadn't worked on this library in
a year, and I was given permission to take over maintainership because
he said he doesn't have time to work on it.

So, any patches to make this work with python-2.7 are welcome. :-)

Heh, I have been working on a similar concept, and I actually have a
working implementation. I am able to successfully search, log in, and
create new bugs. I just pushed this to my github.

https://github.com/floppym/BugzillaProxy

I have not taken the time to integrate it into pybugz. If you want to
take it from here, that would be great. Or I'm happy to help too; I'm
just not quite sure how to integrate it.

Side note: I have noticed that the xml-rpc interface does not allow
you to search on all available Bugzilla fields. The most obvious
missing field is the CC list.
