When we add http/https links there is a problem.

I think, the problem is here for other URI too.

Examples:

1/ With this code without code section :
The code:

blablabla
- https://example.tld
- https://example.tld

We obtain:

The code :
blablabla
- https://example.tld - https://example.tld

2/ Same to with a text in more, with this code without code section :
The code:

blablabla
- example 1 https://example.tld/
- example 2 https://example.tld/

We obtain:

The code :
blablabla
- example 1 https://example.tld/ - example 2 https://example.tld/

I tried to register a user test3, and in my flyspray Installation the adminstratior disabled the notifications.
So I could only select “None” as text next to “Notifications”. After I pressed the button “Send Code!”, I received the email with the confirmation code. I clicked on the link in the email, and on the appearing website I entered the confirmation code and password and pressed the button “Register this account”.

Then I got the next e-mail message.
This message begins with:

“You have registered at Flyspray. Your details are as follows:”

This e-mail ends with the sentences:

“You are receiving this message because you have requested it from the Flyspray bugtracking system. If you did not expect this message or don’t want to receive mails in future, you can change your notification settings at the URL shown above.”

But this is not true. I have not requested this email. I as user test3 cannot change the notification settings because the notifications are disabled by the administrator.

When I try to register at flyspray and add a space before the email address, registering does not work, I get the error message: “You did not enter a valid email address”. But my email progam ignores the space when I do the same there.

Trying to add a new user having the same email address as an another user in the do=admin&area=newuser section results in

“That username is already taken. You will need to choose another one.”

instead of

“Email address has already been taken”

(I’ve stumbled on this issue because I have an older disabled user with the same email address)

Hello,

When registering and when later editing users settings it’s possible to specify “Time zone” but the way it’s implemented is confusing. What I see is a drop-down list with GMT[+-]:digit: and this is an odd way to set the timezone for multiple reasons:

1. “GMT” is a word without universally accepted and defined meaning these days, see https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/timescales.html#GMT ;

2. Often time zone specification needs to include the rules when (if ever) to apply DST and what abbreviation is to be used in different cases. See TZ description on https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03 .

Taking these two points into account I can’t see how to meaningfully use this feature.

TIA for looking into it.

Sometimes comes this message with a lot of backtrace log.

In the page http://www.flyspray.org/manual/group_permissions/ , it is written

Shown is an image of the permissions page for the Flyspray project’s Contributors group

but there is no image in there.

I can think of two ways of dealing with that I guess:

1. add an image
2. remove the sentence

What do you think?

So closing a task

FS#1

with

reason: duplicate

and close comment

FS#1

referencing to self should be detected to avoid such user mistakes.

Closing a task with selected close reason duplicate should warn when there is no comment or FS # id is given in the close comment text field.

The task is closed as duplicate without any further notice. The information to which task it is duplicate or a description (if the problem is logged/handled outside Flyspray) is lost.

Possible solutions

Frontend hints

Backend deny

Official release

Steps done to create the problem:
Insert correct (tested with gmail) data into the notification tab and click on “Test”

SSL and TLS are checked.

Expected behavior:
Send test email and confirm it.

Experienced behavior:
Following error message

Error message:
Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): Peer certificate CN=`*.netcup.net’ did not match expected CN=`mail*.netcup.net’ in /var/www/vhosts/.netcup.net/httpdocs/**/flyspray/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 103 Completely unexpected exception: Unable to connect with TLS encryption
This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers

Someone reported this:

Today i tried to report an issue about xxx on the xxx (namely xxx) and the following error message has been displayed:

Completely unexpected exception: Expected response code 250 but got code “451”, with message “451 Error in writing spool file "
This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers

The issue itself has been created though.

RC9 running on CentOS LAMP stack

Steps done to create the problem:
Set up google as an oauth provider.
Have a user click “Sign in with Google” in the login box.
User connects their account with Flyspray.
Google redirects the user back to Flyspray
The return screen (on flyspray) asks for a username.

Expected behavior:
No warning about duplicate username should be shown on initial page load since no username was entered yet

Experienced behavior:
A warning about the username being already taken is shown.

It appears there is no logic for showing or hiding that warning in register.oauth.tpl

(It would be great if flyspray was able to just use the email as a username to make the UX even better/simpler.)

I installed the developer edition.

mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.25, for Linux
PHP 7.2.15-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
Ubuntu 18.04.2

Admin settings → Allow users to register and send conf. email.

I DID set up email settings thru google and sent a test email. it did work.

After logging out, I tried to register a new account. I filled in details and got the following error:
Completely unexpected exception: Expected response code 250 but got code “530”, with message “530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. u13sm3937813iog.80 - gsmtp "
This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers

Obviously, the confirmation email was never sent.

I am going to try to manually add a new user. Will update with outcome.

Steps done to create the problem:
Visit https://bugs.flyspray.org/index.php?do=register in a private browser window (so you are logged out)

Put in an already taken username (e.g. Stefan or Stefan2)

Expected behavior:
Username gets red and a note appears that username already is taken

Experienced behavior:
Username gets green and registration of a new user proceeds with sending a notification mail with confirmation code.
After putting in the confirmation code in provided page, user gets presented a “username is already taken, choose another” (where?) message, and has to re-start registration process from beginning and hopefully this time choose a not taken name.

Steps done to create the problem:
Access /index.php?do=admin&area=checks with a MySQL Version >= 5.5.3

Expected behavior:
Flyspray tests for character set and displays »Your mysql supports full utf-8 since 5.5.3. You are using x.x.x and flyspray tables could be upgraded.« when database schema or one table isn’t set to utf8mb4 character set.

Experienced behavior:
Flyspray always shows this note, even though character set is correct.

As far as I can tell from the source, a query gets executed to the database (and if I do that manually the result is “utf8mb4, utf8mb4_unicode_ci” for my database), but the result doesn’t get checket, the note is always shown (line 123)

The issue with many servers now and the reason that recaptcha does not work is because it requires servers to enable allow_url_fopen which is a huge security risk. That is why you get the warning message when you try to run recaptcha that file_get_contents failed to connect.

So the solution is to use Curl to do that job.

Here is the fixed file, excuse my mess i had not cleaned up my code yet... but recaptcha now works.

this file goes in the includes dir... you can clean up the file if you like again sorry about that.

Hello,

I’m having an issue on the notification’s mail sent to people when quick-editing a task, more precisely on the link to the task below.

I had this in my older mails :
mybugtracker.com/js/callbacks/index.php?do=details&task_id=xxxx

I “corrected” it by adding a str_replace here (see my screenshot), and now it’s good.

Thank you

When a user has project manager permissions, but not admin permissions, then on the ‘edit group’ pages like index.php?do=pm&area=editgroup&id=8
the links in the list of users of that group are

index.php?do=admin&area=users&user_id=12345

instead of linking to the users page

index.php?do=user&area=users&id=12345

and a redirect follows with Error #4: You don’t have administrative rights.

After updating from “1.0-rc6” to “1.0-rc7 dev” there is missing controls menu on writer. Look attachment.
How to solve this?

Is there any settings to enable this or I’m missing something...

Since PHP7.2 shows a warning in admin area ?do=admin&area=users&user_id=1234567890, when user_id is set, but no alternative user_name parameter.

Probably related to scripts/admin.php

$id = Flyspray::UserNameToId(Req::val('user_name'));
if (!$id) {
  $id = Req::val('user_id');
}

Currently the category_id is not checked if the value is legal for the project when a new task is created.

• must be unsigned int
• must be an active category_id of the project or global category.
• setting a category_id must be allowed - see project settings.

If invalid category_id is sent, deny creating task and show error message and show filled form again.

If no category_id is sent (or empty string) and category select is enabled:

• either choose a default category

or

• implement feature request FS#2451 and show that user should select a category.
