| Title: | Bugzilla can't replicate lastdiffed field if we run processmail |
| Status: | open |
| Priority: | optional |
| Assigned user: | Nick Barnes |
| Product: | p4dti |
| Organization: | Ravenbrook |
| Description: | Bugzilla bugs have a 'lastdiffed' field, updated by the 'processmail' script when it has inspected a bug for changes to include in a notification email. If we run the 'processmail' script (i.e. if the 'bugzilla_directory' config parameter is set) and also replicate 'lastdiffed' (i.e. if 'lastdiffed' is in the 'replicated_fields' config parameter) then we are always out-of-sync on that field, and the consistency check fails. |
| Analysis: | When the P4DTI updates a bug, it checks for changes made as a result of the update. That check takes place before running the 'processmail' script (which is the last thing we do in a poll), so it misses the change to lastdiffed. [NB 2003-08-12:] The P4DTI could easily detect this configuration and refuse to start (or to replicate 'lastdiffed'?) |
| How found: | inspection |
| Evidence: | running the test suite with 'lastdiffed' in 'replicated_fields' |
| Observed in: | 1.4.0 |
| Introduced in: | 1.2.1 |
| Test procedure: | none |
