cannot add or edit milestones any more

[Bernard François]

Binary package hint: trac

I'm already using trac for a while, and it got updated to a newer version recently.

When I started using trac, I created a project and I added some milestones.

Now, I wanted to add a milestone to the project and to add or change some milestone descriptions.
When I try to add or edit a milestone and confirm with the 'Submit changes' button, nothing happens.

This is an example of how it can be reproduced:
- click the 'Roadmap' button
- click on the name of a milestone
- click the 'Edit milestone' button
- type/change something in the 'Description' text box or change
- press the 'Submit changes' button
- observe that the description is not added/changed on the page that is now visible
- click the 'Roadmap' button again
- observe that the description is not added/changed on this page as well
- observe that the description is not added/changed on the page that is now visible

I checked the permissions of the user I was using, and I had the TRAC_ADMIN permission, which should be enough I suppose. I added the MILESTONE_ADMIN permission to check if this would fix it, but it didn't (I guess TRAC_ADMIN includes the MILESTONE_ADMIN permission).

Note that I can succesfully do other tasks with trac. This includes closing tickets, changing their milestone value, adding comments, ...

Now I enabled logging and I watched the log file using 'tail -f' while reproducing the bug again.

After clicking the 'Submit changes' button, this is what appears in the log file (the log level is set to DEBUG):

2009-11-01 23:06:07,835 Trac[main] DEBUG: Dispatching <Request "POST u'/milestone/phase 3'">
2009-11-01 23:06:07,842 Trac[chrome] DEBUG: Prepare chrome data for request
2009-11-01 23:06:08,081 Trac[session] DEBUG: Retrieving session for ID u'bernardfrancois'
2009-11-01 23:06:08,135 Trac[main] DEBUG: 1655 unreachable objects found.

Tomorrow I'll continue working on the project I have in trac, and I'll probably try to change the milestone descriptions manually in the trac.db file using the sqlitebrowser tool.

This sounds like http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/7876 which was fixed in Trac 0.11.3.

I see this bug has been marked as 'Fix Released'. However, 0.11.1-2.1 is still the latest version in the ubuntu 9.04 universe repository. Does this mean it has only been fixed in ubuntu 9.10 (while the support period for 9.04 isn't over yet)?

Marking it now as Fix Released.

@bernardfrancois-gmail: please, follow the SRU process, if you want this fixed in another version of Ubuntu

[Bernard François (bernardfrancois-gmail)]

Ara,

What do you mean by 'SRU' process?
I'm not using trac for the moment, so I can't verify it any further.
