Attaching submission.xml file created by my system which also exhibits this condition. Repeated send attempts result in the "failed to process form error described above," for which my variant is included below.

Can one submit submission.xml manually to launchpad?

Running Lucid beta1

Getting the "None isn't acceptable as a value" error as mentioned by Glenn in comment #3

A quick look at the output from ps had me thinking that maybe there should be a systemid or similar passed between these programs calls?

There are several problems reported in this bug which may indeed result in not submitting to Launchpad.

Glenn, the "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" error you reported was already reported in bug #485445. This will be fixed in version 9.1 of Checkbox.

Gary, the problem about the system id being set to None might be related to bug #537435. If you were running Lucid in virtualbox, then this will be fixed in version 9.1 of Checkbox. Otherwise, please report a separate bug.

As for other reports, I have been informed that there was also a problem on the Launchpad side. I will follow up about that problem on this bug report.

Running System Test from Live CD boot, it refuses to send info to launchpad, saying that I had not entered my email address. I had already logged into launchpad to report a different error, and was still logged in. Hitting the login link, it says I'm already logged in. Trying to log out and then hit the link again, it still says I'm logged in and hitting Next on the System Testing screen still says I have not entered my email address...

dangyogi, the problem you reported affected Checkbox or Launchpad as detailed in bug #550973 which is actually assigned to both projects. Launchpad released a fix on the 14th, a few days after you reported your bug, and Checkbox only committed a fix which should be released with version 0.9.2 of the application.

This bug is not quite a duplicate of bug #550973 but I will nonetheless mark it as fix committed because the problem should be fixed in the long term with version 0.9.2 once it is released.

This problem occurs when submitting a second time, after which the form dictionary contains the field.submission_data key. However, this key is not included in the FORM Map property defined in the launchpad_exchange plugin. Furthermore, this key is a file type which is not even available in the current set of properties.

To fix this bug, I created the new FileVariable class, the File property using that variable class and added the field.submission_data key to the FORM table. This should make it for Natty, thanks for the bug report.
