Searching on the Cc field does not find commenters

[Bernmeister]

According to this text on tickets to which I've commented:

(You are permanently added to the cc list because you commented on the ticket.)

So I interpret this to mean if I comment on a ticket I am also by default added to the Cc list.

However, from the Pidgin (Trac) View Search page, I search on the Cc field…and cannot find any tickets which I know I have commented.

So I believe that by commenting doesn't add you to the Cc field in terms of searching.

I've searched for the string you mention both at this Trac site and in the source code of Trac. I can't find it anywhere.

Could you please provide an exact reference to where this string appears?

Ticket ​http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6866 is an example.

I made a comment to the ticket, so now I assume I am on the Cc list. I do receive an email for every modification to the ticket…cool.

If I search for tickets via ​http://developer.pidgin.im/query where

status = closed Cc contains bernmeister

then I get no results, whereas I should get quite a lot (including ticket 6866).

I guess what osimons was asking is where the following string (which you provided in the ticket description) appears:

(You are permanently added to the cc list because you commented on the ticket.)

The word "permanently" appears nowhere in the entire Trac codebase. And indeed, commenting on a ticket doesn't add you automatically to the CC list.

Now, if your goal is to have a list of all tickets on which you commented, then you will have to use a ticket report, as the query module doesn't support this functionality.

You have to be logged in (to Pidgin's Trac) to see this I guess….

For ticket ​http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6866 (to which I've already made a comment), this text appears just above the textarea into which new comments are typed:

(You are permanently added to the cc list because you commented on the ticket.)

For a ticket (say ​http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7099) in which I have NOT commented as yet (but am logged in) I see this text (just above the textarea):

Updating the ticket will permanently add you to the cc list.

I did ask the question on IRC #pidgin about this text and was told it's Trac that puts it in and NOT Pidgin developers!

Yep, I'd like a way to find all tickets that I've commented…I had assumed that I could search on the Cc field to do this. I don't think Pidgin allows any other type of searching on their instance of Trac.

Thanks for clarification. With current description of the feature, it is quite clear that it is not Trac itself - it has to be some custom code or a plugin from somewhere that outputs those lines of text. I've never come across the lines myself, and can't really point you anywhere specific - apart from the Pidgin project that likely should know what other code runs as part of their Trac setup.

Closing as it is not related to the Trac project itself.

I have registered a test account and see the text. The ticket property form is replaced by a single line with two radio buttons (Yes / No) and the text above, right above the comment box. It is most likely due to a plugin, however I have been unable to find the plugin name, or a corresponding plugin on trac-hacks.

I suppose you had selected the "Yes" button when you entered the comment?

[anonymous]

No I didn't select the Yes button as the text tells me that by commenting I'll be added to the Cc…and I believed it!

I've raised a ticket on Pidgin: ​http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7167

There's some confusion here.

We added that note via a custom plugin to provide users with an indication on how CCing works (we use the [​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni#notification-

section always_notify_updater] setting - which is what the "permanently add you to the cc list" refers to). The plugin also allows you to add yourself to the explicit CC list without commenting (even if you wouldn't normally have permissions to do so).

I had intended that Bernmeister file a ticket requesting that there be a way to search for tickets based on who had commented on them using the query module (we don't have ticket reports enabled).

I've just raised a new ticket #7660 as a feature request.
