One of my users created a review and in the 'Testing Done' field she pasted in the contents of a large, complex shell script that was used for the testing. When we try to access the main page for the review, we see this:
======================== Something broke! (Error 500) It appears something broke when you tried to go to here. This is either a bug in Review Board or a server configuration error. Please report this to your administrator. ======================== The message I get in the log is: SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string and it's clear from the context that RB wasn't able to parse what had been pasted into the description field (lot's of nested quotes in the script). I had the user remove all that from the description, but the problem remains because apparently RB saves diffs on that field. So the error now looks like: ======================== File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Djblets-0.6.11-py2.4.egg/ djblets/util/fields.py", line 205, in loads val = eval(val) File "<string>", line 1 {"diff": {"added": [["Diff r4", "/r/33599/diff/4/", 71332]]}, "testing_done": {"new": ["I used a script that I wrote to test out which headers are returned for various types of content SNIPPED REST\n \n\n\n\n"], "old": ["I used a script that I wrote to test out which headers are returned for various types of content SCRIPT CONTENT HERE ^ SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string ======================== We'd like to avoid creating a new RB request, and the only solution I could come up with is to hack the database to remove the 'Testing Done' stuff entirely. Is that feasible? Advisable? Is there another way to fix this? Thanks --Steve -- Want to help the Review Board project? Donate today at http://www.reviewboard.org/donate/ Happy user?
