Addressbook completion shows regexp pattern

[duelli]

I have to LDAP address books configured which work fine.

Just found that with current trunk when I type a string, e.g. "abc" in the address bar and wait until the "Search..." status message popups up and delete it again.

A selection of regexp pattern pops up as shown in the attached screenshot.

I'm unable to reproduce. We need more info.

[duelli]

I am sorry. I cannot reproduce it on my other machine.

Please close this bug as invalid, I will reopen it if I find a way to reproduce this issue.

[duelli]

I found a pattern to reproduce it, have a look at the screenshot

[alec]

I'm still unable to reproduce. Maybe it relies on data in addressbook.

[alec]

Please, try with svn-trunk version.

[duelli]

Tried with latest revision. The problem is still reproducible for me with pattern

123,

I tried to dig a bit into this problem. Therefore, I checked ldap output of the autocomplete:

[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: C: Connect [my.ldap.de:389]
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: S: OK
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: C: Search [(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(|(mail=*123*)(cn=*123*)))]
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: S: 0 record(s)
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: C: Connect [my.ldap2.de:389]
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: S: OK
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: C: Search [(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(|(mail=*123*)(cn=*123*)))]
[11-Feb-2010 19:20:06 +0100]: S: 4 record(s)

which looks good.

I guess that the autocomplete splits the 123, string by the comma, doesn't it?!

I also found that the matching ldap entries do not have an email address! This could interfere with function format_email_recipient, but I cannot see how.

[alec]

Yes, comma is removed in javascript before request. Please, enable console and check how looks server response for autocomplete request. We'll know if this is js or php issue.

Replying to alec:

Well, I am not sure what you mean by "enable console".

I found some time ago that there is a hidden config option "devel_mode" which creates a file logs/console containing performance measurements (BTW you should add/document this to config/main.inc.php.dist)

If you mean the browser javascript console there is no output from this call.

Nevertheless, I think I have come a bit closer to the problems solution. Have a look at the screenshot I will attach immediately.

It explains what the cryptic message in the reproducible screenshot contains and actually should show :-)

[duelli]

expected output for search string "12"

[duelli]

It is "Labor 123 Le" you can read in the reproducible screenshot

[alec]

So, is this working with "12" and not working with "123"? I was talking about debug_level=9.

[duelli]

Ah, debug_level=9, that is a nice feature. Should be also noted in config/main.inc.php.dist

I did as you said, typed some autocompletes in a row and got:

HTTP POST: ./?_task=mail&_action=autocomplete
--------------------------------------
HTTP POST: ./?_task=mail&_action=autocomplete

this.ksearch_query_results(["Labor AU12 Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Experimentelle Physik III <>","Labor C123 Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Experimentelle Physik III <>","Labor C127 Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Experimentelle Physik III <>","Labor C128 Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Experimentelle Physik III <>"],"12");

HTTP POST: ./?_task=mail&_action=autocomplete
--------------------------------------
this.ksearch_query_results(["Labor C123 Lehrstuhl f\u00fcr Experimentelle Physik III <>"],"123");

At the last autocomplete I got the result from the reproducible screenshot.

[alec]

So, looks like browser/js issue. What browser are you using? Did you try with other? I've tried with empty email field. Unable to reproduce still.

Finally, I've found a race condition. Fixed in [812abdd7].
