| Title: | Bugzilla emailsuffix parameter not supported |
| Status: | closed |
| Priority: | essential |
| Assigned user: | Nick Barnes |
| Product: | p4dti |
| Organization: | Ravenbrook |
| Description: | Bugzilla has a parameter "emailsuffix" which is appended to all email addresses. P4DTI has no support for this, and will fail to translate users correctly if it is set. |
| Analysis: | We can't easily discover Bugzilla parameters (because they are only stored embedded in perl code in a file in the Bugzilla directory, which may be on another machine from the P4DTI). But we could add a similar parameter to the P4DTI (with no checking that it corresponds). Best would probably be code which tries to figure out Bugzilla parameters using bugzilla_directory, and a dictionary parameter which overrides that (in case we're remote from the Bugzilla server or we don't read it correctly). GDR 2001-07-17. We should patch Bugzilla so that it puts its parameters into a table in its database. We should ask the Bugzilla developers to include this patch in their next release: this will be generally useful to anyone integrating with Bugzilla. GDR 2001-11-14. A better solution that doesn't involve patching Bugzilla would be to notice when Bugzilla e-mail addresses have only a local-part (no "@domain") and then compare with Perforce using only the local-part. This will do the wrong thing in some circumstances, but (a) those are circumstances in which you shouldn't be using "emailsuffix" and (b) you'll get a warning in the startup e-mail. GDR 2001-11-20. This patch to dt_bugzilla.py is a quick fix for people who need emailsuffix support for P4DTI release 1.2.1. 814c814 < self.bugzilla_user = string.lower(bugzilla_user) --- > self.bugzilla_user = string.split(string.lower(bugzilla_user),"@")[0] 826c826 < dict[string.lower(user['Email'])] = user['User'] --- > dict[string.lower(user['User'])] = user['User'] |
