Description of problem: Insertion of UTF8 data into the System fields causes 500 errors during both a CSV export and when trying to view the action over on the Activities page Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put UTF8 Data into the system section 2. Try and export the Systems CSV, or view the action in Activity Actual results: 500 ISE Expected results: A copy of the CSV downloaded, or the ability to see the action in Activity Additional info: Might be related to the bug fixed in BZ#584592
What data exactly did you insert? All strings in Beaker are (or should be) handled as UTF8-encoded Unicode.
We do, however, keep having problems with MySQL silently truncating our data across UTF8 character boundaries (such as bug 652334). Could that be what happened here?
I didn't insert anything, someone else did. We noticed the issue originally when we went to export the Systems CSV. I searched through the Activities log, but kept hitting a 500. After speaking with bpeck in IRC, he determined there was some sort of UTF8 character in the data somewhere that was causing it to choke. All I really know is that the data was inserted sometime between 2011-10-26 05:28:31 -04:00 and 2011-10-25 22:09:37 -04:00 It's possible the data is being truncated, if I can figure out what record was modified to include the UTF8 stuff, I might be able to tell you more.
This particular issue was fixed in Beaker with a database change. Bug 749441 is how it happened. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 749441 ***
