Description

Hello.

All was working fine for the last few days since i installed it, including the Gantt chart tab.

However after setting the due date on one of the versions, the Gantt tab now will not load and gives an Internal Error (500).

I read some old issues regarding blank Strings but they were resolved.

Are you using gravatars ?

Actions #2

Updated by Luke Dixon over 13 years ago

Yes i am.

Actions #3

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

What does your mail address, as filled in your profile, looks like to (just replace ascii chars, please) ?

Actions #4

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

Must be an exception raised in gravatar_url() because of MD5 gem or whatever.

could you remove the rescue nil at the end of line 874 of app/helpers/application_helper.rb, try again then report the new exception stack ?

Actions #5

Updated by David Barbion over 13 years ago

I made the modification in app/helpers/application_helper.rb but I still have the same exception stack...

Actions #6

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

Did you restart your web server before testing ?

Actions #7

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

Note : line is now 892 :

...
return gravatar(email.to_s.downcase, options) unless email.blank? rescue nil
...
Actions #8

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

The only other possibility is that someone, assigned to an issue, has a blank e-mail address.

Actions #9

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

Which should not happen because mail address is not supposed to be blank.

Actions #10

Updated by Terence Mill over 13 years ago

We have same error here!

Actions #11

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

If you don't have any assignee with a blank mail address (note 8), could you try with the above mentioned change (notes 5 & 7) ?

Actions #12

Updated by Terence Mill over 13 years ago

I checked all users (also disabled ones) have an email string <>"")
I changed line app/helpers/application_helper.rb 874
from

return gravatar(email.to_s.downcase, options) unless email.blank? rescue nil

to
return gravatar(email.to_s.downcase, options) unless email.blank?

restarted apache and called gant tab

Error still is

You can just disable gravatars.

I noticed that on some projects it working and on other not.
I am not 100% sure, but the difference seems to be that the projects it is working are "leaf" projects, mean there are no sub projects
And it looks like as the parent projects is call gant chart, don't have "own issues but only issues come from child projects.
Does that maybe help to track down the problem?

I am using Wavatars, bou do you mean diabled the user pictures completly?

Actions #15

Updated by Etienne Massip over 13 years ago

Could you try replacing the

return gravatar(email.to_s.downcase, options) unless email.blank? rescue nil

with
return gravatar(email.to_s.downcase, options) || '' unless email.blank? rescue nil

?

And yes, I meant that (only if you want to show the Gantt).

ApplicationHelper#avatar may return nil, empty string or whatever so this patch should be an easy fix:

God damn it !

The only way it can return nil is either because an exception has been raised by gravatar(...) or because gravatar(...) itself returns nil, and we just checked both, didn't we ?

I made some more tests and the theory that it is not working for parents, does not hold, because i also found some procejts, it is working. I activated same modules on parent projects it is not working as on that ones it is working, but that doesn't change things.
I also tested the threory that the project itself but at least on issue (in any tracker) to work around, but this doesn not hold also.

I can check other test cases if you tell me..

Hopefully this bug will be solved soon, because
