Description Tingting Zhao 2014-08-11 07:47:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
as summary

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
v3.8.10-1 on devel server

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.invoke the method with author_id:
n.TestCase.store_text(293344,'test steps',4258)
And then check whether it can update the text of the case.
2.then invoke the same method without the author_id
n.TestCase.store_text(293344,'test steps')

Actual results:
step 1 :Fault: <Fault 500: ["'int' object has no attribute 'encode'"]>
step 2 : the case's text will be updated successfully.

Expected results:
step 1:this way should update the text sucessfully
step 2: this way without author_id should update text failed.

Additional info:
It is opposite to the document.

Test on v3.8.10-1 on devel server.
when invoke 
n.TestCase.store_text(293432, 'Action test 11111', 'Effect test 22222', 'Setup test 33333', 'Breakdown test 44433')
system returns 500 error, like:
Fault: <Fault 500: ["'NoneType' object has no attribute 'serialize'"]>

got it, fixed and will merge into 3.8.10
Comment 3 Xu Lei 2014-08-19 02:10:18 UTC 
this api will not accept the None value in setup, effect and breakdown, the document is correct for current scene.

And if you want to support one particular text to be updated, we need a new api, not modify this one.
Comment 4 Tingting Zhao 2014-08-19 02:50:20 UTC 
In [16]:n.TestCase.store_text(293344,'preparation','effection','steps') with a argument missed.
Out[16]:Fault: <Fault 500: ["'int' object has no attribute 'encode'"]>

In [17]: n.TestPlan.store_text(10140, 4258) without plan text.
Out[17]:Fault: <Fault 500: ["'int' object has no attribute 'encode'"]>
