Perforce Defect Tracking Integration


P4DTI issue job000190

Title: Connection to TeamTrack hangs for several minutes
Status: closed
Priority: critical
Assigned user: gdr
Product: p4dti
Organization: TeamShare
Description: When release 0.4.2 attempts to connect to TeamTrack 4407, it hangs for several minutes before connecting.
Analysis: The hang occurs in TSServer::ValidateVersion in the TeamShare API, on the line reading "socket->ReceiveString( &errorMsg );". The TeamShare API is waiting for data from the server that doesn't appear.
TeamShare say that in fact the server isn't sending anything and that this line is deleted in very recent versions of the TeamShare API (see evidence).
How found: manual_test
Evidence: I've reproduced this on sandpiper.ravenbrook.com (Windows NT), derekpc.teamshare.com (Windows NT), fork2.perforce.com (Windows 2000) and fork.perforce.com (Windows NT).
