Add Attachment to Trac ticket does not work with Browse-95 in joyride-2301

Description

When I create (or add to) a Trac ticket and click the tiny checkbox (above the Preview button) to indicate I have files to attach to this ticket, the subsequent Add Attachment web page has a non-functional Browse button for file selection.

The best work-around I have found is to launch another instance of Browse, view the ticket in there and click the Attach Files button. The subsequent Add Attachment web page then works okay. And then I close the previous instance of Browse, and continue working with the newer instance.

I assume this is a Browse bug, but could be wrong.

Quite sure you see #7498 - feel free to reopen if you think otherwise. Steps to reproduce:

  • open browse a
  • open browse b
  • try to open attach a file to a ticket in browse a
  • the objectchooser dialog will appear in browse b

Replying to erikos:

It might be related, but I see my bug with only ONE instance of Browse running. My work-around opens a second Browse, and then, yes, I see 7498 happening. It surprised me, but worked around my bug. One bug counteracting another bug!

So I suggest to keep this ticket open until better diagnosed.

A new clue: I see my bug when I use the Trac preview button, but I do not see the bug if I just submit changes right away without any preview. I prefer to preview, but now am tempted to avoid it :-(

Hmmm the 'I have files to attach to this ticket' is only available once you create a bug, right? I tested with the 'add attachement' button at the top wich was working fine for me.

ok i did the following:

  • click: New Ticket
  • add header, and comment
  • select 'I have files to attach...'
  • click preview
  • click submit
  • attach file

The result is #8232. Can you give me your detailed instructions to reproduce? Thanks!

I reproduced it again, using same Browse-95 in joyride-2301. No other activities launched (except Journal). The XO was Restarted not long before trying this.

I created a new Trac ticket using these steps in Browse:

  • clicked New Ticket
  • filled in the form with Summary, Description, selected component, etc.
  • selected 'I have files to attach...'
  • clicked preview, then reviewed my inputs
  • clicked create ticket, then received 'Add Attachment' web page as seen in screenshot
  • clicked Browse button on the page, but nothing happened !

At this point, I exploited bug #7498 by launching a second Browse, going back to my first Browse and clicking the Browse button again, then going to the second Browse and finally seeing the Choose an object dialog box. I used this work-around 3 times to attach 3 files to my new ticket #8246 (which is irrelevant to this ticket).

Hope that helps. Incidentally, you are correct that the checkbox 'I have files to attach...' only appears when creating a new ticket, not when adding to an existing ticket. Until now I had been confused by that. So my original Description is incorrect when I wrote '(or add to)'.

I am mystified why you were unable to reproduce this bug. It has affected me several times, and is now so predictable.

More confusion: I just added an additional attachment to an existing ticket, but the Add Attachment Browse button did not work again. But this was using the same Browse-95 instance that had failed before. So once Browse-95 is broken, it seems to stay broken for that session or instance. Again, I was able to work-around by launching a second instance of Browse.

I really can not reproduce this one. I thought that it might be related to an old compreg.dat like in #5428. You might just want to update to latest joyride > 2378 and see if you still have the problem there (you have to use browse-96 for that test).

Thanks

Closing as "works for me". I was able to attach a file with the new version of Browse (WebKit) in 13.1.0 os25
