Submission processing failed on C3 with manually exported submission file

[Po-Hsu Lin]

For a recently tested system, I accidentally close the GUI before submitting the result.
This make the session become an Incomplete one.
And I can't resume it due to bug 1436737

I tried to export the xml file by the following command
$ plainbox session export pbox-il__l2ia -f xml -o /tmp/test.xml
Exporting session...
ERROR plainbox.ctrl: Ignoring invalid generated job 2013.com.canonical.certification::staging/disk/stats_{name}: Problem with field requires: wrong
Saving results to /tmp/test.xml

But this xml file can't be uploaded to C3, the fail message on C3 is:
Processing of this submission has failed!

FAILURE

Hello! Could you also attach the submission file here? The error suggests it may be incomplete ("corrupted" I would say) which is causing the problem.

Hi, sorry for the delay
here is the session tar file

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Note, the submission.xml file was generated from the session file

Marking as Invalid in HEXR. The XML file is not valid, it is normal that HEXR cannot parse it.

This should be fixed at a Plainbox level

This bug has been fixed recently, caused by the udev parser creating devices without DEVNAME.
