The used get_class_methods($classname) function now throws exception in PHP8 when the class does not exists (or couldn’t be found).

grep -rin4 get_class_methods 
class.tpl.php-1006-	public static function render($text, $type = null, $id = null, $instructions = null)
class.tpl.php-1007-	{
class.tpl.php-1008-		global $conf;
class.tpl.php-1009-
class.tpl.php:1010:		$methods = get_class_methods($conf['general']['syntax_plugin'] . '_TextFormatter');
class.tpl.php-1011-		$methods = is_array($methods) ? $methods : array();

class.tpl.php-1041-            return call_user_func(array($conf['general']['syntax_plugin'] . '_TextFormatter', 'textarea'),
class.tpl.php-1042-                                  $name, $rows, $cols, $attrs, $content);
class.tpl.php-1043-        }
class.tpl.php-1044-

Previously it just returned null as also documented on php.net!
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-class-methods :

In case of an error, it returns null.

So either php guys update their source code or documentation. Netherless a workaround is needed.

For Flyspray installations with many users (several thousands) a pagination of the user list in the admin area is required.

2000 users no problem to display (aside the PHP max_input_vars limit which is only 1000 by default, so maybe not all checked checkboxes are handled.)

More users might send your mysql to long running blocking queries creating temp tables … bad!

(I killed them by watching show processlist; and kill id; on mysql console.)

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

Moving task to another project seems to require fields updated to target project options. This operation is not possible on the task category field and possibly others. Attempting to submit changes gives error:

“Oh, there are some incompatible properties set that must be resolved before moving this task to a different project.”

However, you cannot select a new value (from the target list) for the properties in question.

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.

Correct or wrong code return false!

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 Update to Flyspray 1.0 Beta2 all users can see every task in every project.

The rights were set up correctly in Flyspray 1.0 Alpha and worked just fine.

I tried to upgrade from 0.9.9.7 to 1-0-rc1 but I end in an infinite redirection loop

I tried to use the github version, to change the domain name (hosted in dreamhost), to use/not-use the .htaccess, upgraded the version of php from 5.5 to 5.6, to change all the settings in the flyspray.conf.php file, but still having the error after to perform the Upgrade task and removing the setup dir

Used the prepacked dependencies since i cannot install them in this server

Thanks

When a anonymous user tries to display a ticket of a non public project (for example by entering a random ticket id), Flyspray exposes the title of the non public project in the header bar.

Edit by peterdd: also applies to project description

Fatal error: Class 'League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Github' not found in /html/bugs/includes/GithubProvider.php on line 11

I have downloaded this:
Precompiled with 3rd party libs for PHP5.6: flyspray-1.0-rc1_php56.tgz
and the file seems really dont exist.

Flyspray does not recover the time set in php.ini. On display, the system has two hour delay.

“Oh, there are some incompatible properties set that must be resolved before moving this task to a different project.”

Oh, but I am not moving the task to a different project. Just trying to edit my own submission.

“Edit this task” → “Save details”

See attached screen capture.

After I upgraded to version 1.0 (the upgrade was successful), flyspray only shows a white page (and the source in firefox shows, that the page is completely white).

Please help us finding the roots of these bugs!

Please report what you were exactly doing before this happend, report us your steps made, the used php version, used OS version, and such information.

The application installer needs an overhaul, all strict notices fixed and the associated dependant tasks resolved.

I upgraded from 0.9.9 to 1.0-beta2 a few hours ago. I received an error about oauth during the upgrade (didn’t think to take a screenshot). In any case, the upgrade otherwise seemed to go smoothly. When I subsequently closed a few tasks people who weren’t assigned to receive notifications for those tasks, even old consultants whose account I had disabled years ago, received the email notification. I also received lots of bounced emails from accounts whose email addresses were no longer existant.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve gone into the database and null’d out the email addresses of old accounts to prevent further spam. Not only did it notify everyone who had an account (active or disabled) but it put their email address in the To: field for all to see.

Hi,

I can’t see the Editor when I make new task. Also when I editing a exciting task.

See nothing to put any HTML code in it. Can you help me!?

I use this version: Flyspray 0.9.9.7

danoh on github wants to work on patch. Couldn’t find him here..

Summary of TODO I found on the net:

• There is a very old project site of flyspray on sf.net . The info there should be updated or removed.

• Update info and keep an eye on http://alternativeto.net/software/flyspray/ from time to time.

• Keep an eye and update Flyspray info on wikipedia for example:
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_tracking_system
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_project_management_software
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_help_desk_issue_tracking_software
  • http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issue-Tracking-System

PHP 8.0 is now released (2020-11-26) and Flyspray should be made compatible with it.

• Replace removed and deprecated functions with alternatives in our source code.
• Upgrade used libraries or make used libraries compatible:
  • post github issue or pull requests for ADODB
  • upgrade used dokuwiki or make changes in our integration (probably just review our as official dokuwiki project contains to much stuff we do not need and changed much)
  • review used geshi
  • upgrade our swiftmailer version to PHP8 compatible version
  • upgrade our oauth2-client stuff to PHP8 compatible version

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/

An incorrect email configuration may cause flyspray to hung during several seconds and report an exception.

Environment

* Linux Debian 10
* Nginx
* PHP-7.3 FPM
* Mariadb 10.3
* Flyspray 1.0-rc9

Steps done to create the problem:

1. Cause a misconfiguration in the email configuration (e.g. an email server rejecting the user authentication)
2. Try to post a comment on a ticket to generate a notification

Expected behavior:

Report the error in a logfile and gently show a user-friendly notification

Experienced behavior:

Flyspray hungs during several seconds and reports a user-unfriendly error:
The exception occurs in conditions that generate email notifications (e.g. posting a comment on a ticket):

Notice: fwrite(): send of 6 bytes failed with errno=104 Connection reset by peer in /var/www/flyspray/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/Transport/StreamBuffer.php on line 240 Completely unexpected exception: Expected response code 250 but got code "421", with message "XXX edited XXX"
This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers
