Unedited p4 files caused server side stacktraces
Review Request #3944 — Created March 7, 2013 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
If you make a perforce-backed code review with an unedited (but opened) file then ReviewBoard chokes on the empty diff content. Based on the recentness of this issue I suspect that it's regression for us from upgrading ReviewBoard from 1.5 to 1.6. This issue has been discussed by others on... http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=2754 ======================================== Steps to repro: 1. p4 edit some/file/with/stuff 2. run postreview Expected: Post-review should error out if you don't have any edits. If you have other modifications then it should just make a code review with that. Actual: Post-review always succeeds, but the unedited file renders as a stacktrace in ReviewBoard. This can be pulled from my issue2754 branch... https://github.com/atagar/rbtools/tree/issue2754
This was tested on an older version of post-review by both... * creating a code review where the only opened file was unedited (post-review now properly tells you "There don't seem to be any diffs!") * mixed with other changes, the code review is still made but now excludes the unedited file
