Description

@jenkins-infra-bot

opened on Mar 22, 2010

Steps to reproduce:

1. Configure an existing project and add a build step to copy artifacts from another project
2. Enter the project name to copy artifacts from
*3. Leaving all other fields blank enter a path as the value in the "Target directory" field e.g. "cb20_cfDesignServlet\WEB-INF\lib" without the quotes
4. Now add an additional copy artifacts build step and enter another project to copy artifacts from.
*5. Enter the same value as previously for Target directory i.e. "cb20_cfDesignServlet\WEB-INF\lib"
6. Click Save

*It seems immaterial whether a Target directory is specified or not.

The following exception is encountered:

      It also seems to work fine if you first add 2 build steps, then fill in the details for both.. fails if you fill in the first one, then add the 2nd one.

      Actually, not sure if that's what triggered success vs failure.. what I did notice on the failure was the pre-processing that Hudson does before form submission was skipped.

      Code changed in hudson

http://jenkins-ci.org/commit/29149
Log:
[FIXED JENKINS-6025] simplify form.onsubmit handling with combobox.
1) in onblur handler, simply restore old form.onsubmit rather than adding
   another wrapper to call the old handler (which can result in a deep call
   stack if several comboboxes are used prior to form submission).
2) in onsubmit handler when focused, only call the original onsubmit when
   the dropdown is not showing (ie don't call it when we intercept the submit
   to just select an item from the list and return false)
I didn't figure out exactly why, but the current code could result in the
original form.onsubmit handler not being called on form submission when
multiple comboboxes are used.  This simplification seems to resolve the issue.

      This should work better now when the plugin is used with Hudson 1.353 or newer.

      Tested this in version 1.353 using the initial test case outlined above and this is still seems to be an issue.
      


      I verified that version 1.353 was being run.
      


      (also, with regards to process, should I be the person to verify the issue once fixed?)

      please clear all browser caches to ensure the 1.353 javascript files are used.  what browser type/version are you using, and please post any javascript errors you see.
      


      process: often times issue submitters don't come back to enter "verified", but yes you are welcome to do so once the issue is fixed.
