Description Frantisek Reznicek 2013-07-19 16:14:38 UTC

Description of problem:

python-bugzilla has feature to select bugs using web bugzilla URL.
This feature does not work (aborts) when URL contains cmdtype=

# bugzilla query  --from-url='https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=mrgm-3.0.0-all&sharer_id=211011'

Server error: <Fault 53: 'cmdtype is not a valid parameter for the Bugzilla::Bug::match function.'>


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
both python-bugzilla-0.9.0-1.el6.noarch and python-bugzilla-0.8.0-2.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bugzilla query  --from-url='https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=mrgm-3.0.0-all&sharer_id=211011'

Actual results:
URL to query useless for some queries.

Expected results:
URL to query should be functional.

How did you generate that search URL in the bugzilla web UI?

Very good question, I took it from MRG meeting minutes, so I do not know how it was generated.

Comment 3 Frantisek Reznicek 2013-07-25 12:21:27 UTC

The obvious workaround is to use the URL, go 'edit search' change nothing and return to that bug-list with much longer BZ URL query which is functional as far as I checked.

Actually I figured it out, using Bugzilla Web UI clicking on 'Remember Search' + providing custom bug-list name

Comment 5 Cole Robinson 2013-07-25 13:53:02 UTC

Thanks for the info Frantisek. Looking at the docs, seems like the bugzilla xmlrpc interface does not provide a way to access saved searches. So the only way around this is to resolve the saved search with a browser like you mentioned, then copy that full URL to the command line.
