Bug 28251 – bugzilla-tool, unable to create a bug.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Maxime Simon]

With this command:
bugzilla-tool create-bug --cc=[e-mail],[e-mail] --component="WebCore Misc."
and after filling the "Bug title" and "Bug comment" fields,
bugzilla-tool raised an exception, line 568, in prompt_for_bug_title_and_comment.

Here is the Tracback:
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 725, in <module>
    main()
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 722, in main
    return tool.main()
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 717, in main
    return command_object.execute(command_options, command_args, self)
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 578, in execute
    self.create_bug_from_patch(options, args, tool)
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 545, in create_bug_from_patch
    (bug_title, comment_text) = self.prompt_for_bug_title_and_comment()
  File "/Volumes/Haiku/WebKit/WebKitTools/Scripts/bugzilla-tool", line 568, in prompt_for_bug_title_and_comment
    raise
TypeError: exceptions must be classes, instances, or strings (deprecated), not NoneType

For information, I use Python 2.5.1 under Mac OSX 10.5.

Hmm I generated the patch using git diff, does this may be the problem?
And also it seems that I forgot the ChangeLog.

Oops, I commented the wrong bug. :/

Anyway, I didn't try again to use bugzilla-tool create-bug, but it seems that you get the same issue.
