Bug #121581 for BZ-Client: [BUG] BZ::Client, unable to attach zip file to a bug

Environment This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 1 (v5.20.1) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int BZ::Client is up to date. (4.4001) More than a bug, it is a lack of code. In fact, all binary format (zip, jpg, png, ...) can't be attached to a bug thanks to BZ::Client. We can serialize data in base64 if we encode it manually (client code), but the XMLRPC Bugzilla server is not able to recognize it as base64. Bugzilla can't give back the original file and the result seems to be corrupted. The best that I could get is the encode base64 content, not he original file. I tried to add the tag <base64> ...</base64> directly into data, but it can't work as data is considered ... as data and tags are escaped with &lt;base64&gt;. The only solution I saw was to modify the XMLRPC client at serialization of the request (like it is already done for other data types). I put in attachment, the module I patched to get the stuff done. Following code snippet shows an example that works fine with patched version. $client = BZ::Client->new( url => $url, autologin => 0 ); sub addAttachment() { my ($id, $file) = @_; open (FILE, "<",$file) or die "$0: $!"; binmode FILE; my $data = join('', <FILE>); close FILE; my $file_attach=BZ::Client::XMLRPC::base64->new($data); my $filename = basename($file); # file name if (DEBUG) {print "AddAttachment: search for request: $id\n";} my $bugId = getBugBySummary($id); # get bug by summary description if (!defined $bugId) { print "$0: Not found request for: $id \n"; die "$0: AddAttachment: Error, request $id not found to attach data!\n"; } # hash map containing parameter of bugzilla attachment my %params = ( ids => [ $bugId ], file_name => $filename, content_type => 'application/zip', summary => $filename, data => $file_attach, ); my $response; eval { $response = $client->api_call( 'Bug.add_attachment', \%params ); print "$0: AddAttachment: $filename processed in BugZilla.\n"; }; if ($@) { print "$0: ERROR Upload file: $@->{'message'}\n"; } } Regards Raphaël CROCHET Technology Department Fixe : +33 (0)5 82 08 05 42 [logo_ACTIA_mail_2017] ACTIA Automotive (siège social) 5, rue Jorge Semprun B.P. 74215 - 31432 TOULOUSE cedex 4 (FRANCE) http://www.actia.com<http://www.actia.com/> [icon_mail_youtube]<http://www.youtube.com/ActiaOfficialCom> [icon_mail_linkedin] <http://www.linkedin.com/company/actia> [icon_mail_web] <http://www.actia.com/> .............................................
