NotImplementedError OOPS when reporting a bug

[Ihor Kaharlichenko]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Proceed to phpunit project (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phpunit/)
2. Click "Report a bug" link
3. Provide summary (in my case it was: "Please backport phpunit 3.4.3-1 from Lucid to Karmic")
4. Click "Next" button
5. Click "No, I need to report a new bug" button
6. Click "Submit Bug Report" button

Expected results:
A new bug report is created.

Actual results:
 Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad.

We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.

(Error ID: OOPS-1477N666)

This is the common NotImplementedError on +filebug. See OOPS-1477C569, for example.

And for a few more examples:

OOPS-1477A479, OOPS-1477C535, OOPS-1477D443

Strange indeed. If it is so the how did I manage to file this bug report?

Where can I find the list of OOPS'es you've mentioned above? I've tried to Google for them but no luck :(

You can't see the OOPS reports, sorry. That was a note I was adding
for myself and other full-time Launchpad developers to help debug
what's going on.

I guess I can fetch the sources of Launchpad and take a look on how are
those OOPS labels generated if I'm such a curious one :)

On the other hand right now I'm not able to file a backport request for
phpunit. Can you suggest another way I can do that while this issue is being
fixed?

And Deryck, thank you for taking care of this bug.

One more OOPS found during bug submission. This time it was OOPS-1489D1344. Actually it was backport request once again, thus the summary followed the same template.

Could Launchpad react somehow on word backport (e.g. to automatically subscribe backport team) and crash during performing some automatic action?

[Deryck Hodge (deryck)]

The NotImplementedError is due to a validation error (i.e. someone files a bug against a package that doesn't exist or doesn't fill in the description field) and because of the recent inlining of the dupe finder, the view uses the base class which doesn't implement the showFileBugForm method which should display the errors back to the user.

I'll prepare a fix today, which I think should be to have the base class do something sane, which can still be overridden by sub classes.
