Description Ondrej Skutka 2011-09-06 11:47:53 UTC
Created attachment 521641 [details]
Run with "mvn test"

Description of problem:
When querying bugzilla using Bug.search, the creation_time parameter is not taken into consideration. It's not in the database query and neither it is reflected in the bugs found.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
See attached example

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tar -xvzf creation-time-bug-reproducer.tar.gz
2. cd creation-time-bug-reproducer
3. mvn test
  
Actual results:
Finds ~8 bugs.

Expected results:
Should not found any bug since the creation_time parameter is set to the future. (it doesn't work with past time either)

Additional info:
creation_time parameter is described in 
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.6/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html#search

The correct field for Bug.search is creation_ts

From Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.pm:
 442     if (my $when = delete $params->{creation_ts}) {
 443         $params->{WHERE}->{'creation_ts >= ?'} = $when;
 444     }

Comment 2 Ondrej Skutka 2011-09-19 09:07:56 UTC
a) creation_ts doesn't seem to work in the way you describe. Change the creation_time to creation_ts in the attached source and you will find that it never finds any bug. Actually the sql used contains something like "(( bugs.creation_ts IN ('2010-11-18T09:13:00-0500') )" which really cannot be used as a bug search parameter (missing the "or later").

b) update the documentation accordingly.

Hello Simon.

Is there an update on this issue? Or at least a workaround?

Thanks,
Ondra

Comment 4 Alexander Todorov 2012-02-16 12:47:12 UTC
just for the record:

I found this to be working by looking at the parameters passed in the URL when doing the query via FF:

qd = {
    'reporter' : 'atodorov',
    'chfieldfrom' : '2012-02-01',
    'chfieldto' : '2012-02-29',
    'chfield' : '[Bug creation]',
}


Those fields don't appear in getbugfields() method. Why is that?

They are not fields for a bug, but for the search query.

Comment 6 Ondrej Skutka 2012-02-21 14:34:29 UTC
But the creation_time parameter parameter is a field for the search query. I'm reopening the bug. This hasn't been solved yet.

Comment 7 Simon Green 2012-02-26 21:38:10 UTC
The perl XMLRPC call works as expected:

$call = $rpc->call(
    'Bug.search_new',
    {   
        creation_time => '2012-02-20 00:00:00',
        include_fields => ['id', 'creation_time']
    }   
);

(reporting all bugs opened since 2012-02-20 in your preferred time zone).

Our XMLRPC calls differ from upstream. Their Bug.search call is Bug.search_new in Red Hat Bugzilla. This will be changed when we migrate to Bugzilla 4.2 (where we will take upstream changes with minimal modification)

As shown in the above example, this works if you use the Bug.search_new RPC call.

Unfortunately, the Red Hat Bugzilla team don't have the resources to help debug
your specific code. Feel free to reopen if you believe that there is a bug
within Red Hat Bugzilla itself.

Comment 8 Ondrej Skutka 2012-02-27 08:25:42 UTC
Thanks for the explanation. This seems to work correctly.

I must have missed some part of the documentation. Could you point me to a page where the search => search_new is documented?
