[workflow] MiniFieldStorage instance has no attribute 'strip'

[tobixx@…]

Hello,

in the workflow sandbox there are several bugs where string functions are called one MiniFieldStorage? types. It seems that the wrong type (MiniFieldStorage?) comes in where strings are expected. One sample: when i try to open a new ticket a got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/devel/eapsh/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/web/standalone.py", line 282, in _do_trac_req
    dispatch_request(path_info, req, env)

    dispatcher.dispatch(req)

    resp = chosen_handler.process_request(req)

    ticket.populate(req.args)

    self[name] = values.get(name, '')

    value = value.strip()
AttributeError: MiniFieldStorage instance has no attribute 'strip'

I don't know anything about your design or trac itself (just know it since yesterday), but i have fixed the bug for myself with:

    def populate(self, values):
        """Populate the ticket with 'suitable' values from a dictionary"""
        field_names = [f['name'] for f in self.fields]
        for name in [name for name in values.keys() if name in field_names]:
            value=  values.get(name, '')
            if isinstance(value, str):
                self[name] = value
            else:
                try :
                    self[name] = value.value
                except:
                    raise TypeError, 'Unexpected type for population: %s' % type(value)

This is an ugly hack - but works for me. I leave the status of this ticket as it is, because I'm pretty sure that you know the right place where to fix it in an better way.

This stuff is going to be fixed once the WSGI branch is merged and the workflow branch updated accordingly.

The workflow system is an experimental branch, so setting it to high priority and blocker is inappropriate.

WSGI branch has been fixed in [2957], so this is fixed.

(actually this will be fixed once the WorkFlow branch syncs with the current trunk)
