Description of problem: Planner Predecessors do not work in EL6. Predecessors work in Planner on EL5 (planner-0.14.1-4.el5.x86_64.rpm). Predecessors work on EL6 using the planner rpm from FC12 (planner-0.14.4-16.fc12.x86_64.rpm), and the planner rpm from FC13 (planner-0.14.4-19.fc13.x86_64.rpm). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): planner-0.14.4-9.el6.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Very Easy. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open planner on EL6 2. Gantt - right click - insert task - name task to "A" 3. Gantt - right click - insert task - name task to "B" 4. Gantt - Right click task "B" - edit task - Predecessors - Add 5. Try to select a predecessors from the 'name' field (drop down box) Actual results: drop down box is empty. Expected results: drop down box contains tasks to select as a predecessor. Additional info: N/A (this is a really basic bug).

We also ran into this issue. When running Planner from a terminal, we can see the following message: (planner:9890): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_set_valist: assertion `VALID_ITER (iter, list_store)' failed The problem does not exist in the original sources for planner 0.14.4, but is introduced via planner-gnome604169-comboboxentry.patch (part of the SRPM) More specifically the changes to the function 'task_dialog_setup_task_combo' (planner-task-dialog.c:353) break the precedessors feature. 'gtk_list_store_set' requires 'iter' to point to a valid row, which can be created with 'gtk_list_store_append'. Thusly changing planner-task-dialog.c (line 368 and below) for (l = tasks; l; l = l->next) { name = mrp_task_get_name (l->data); if (name == NULL || name[0] == 0) { to for (l = tasks; l; l = l->next) { name = mrp_task_get_name (l->data); gtk_list_store_append (store, &iter); if (name == NULL || name[0] == 0) { makes it work again.
Just noticed that this is present in the original patch on bugzilla.gnome.org. Issue #604169 (as indicated in the patch file name); see description, attachment #149422 [details] (http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=149422).
Created attachment 584596 [details] replacement patch for rhel-6
more recent fedora versions don't have the problem, must have realized the problem somewhere along the line there
