Bug: Can't save edits after installing TWiki20010817beta

Test case

• Install the latest (8/17/01) beta.
• Edit TWiki.cfg to match site information.
• Pick a page, edit, preview, and try to save.
• In browser, see the following:

Software error: Can't locate Net/SMTP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib . /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404 /usr/share/lib/perl5 /usr/share/lib/perl5/site_perl/irix-n32 /usr/share/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/lib/perl5/sgi_perl) at ../lib/TWiki/Net.pm line 38.

• In Apache log, there is the following error:

[Mon Aug 20 14:13:45 2001] save: Use of uninitialized value at /msdtools/apache_msdinet/twiki-beta/bin//save line 113.

Environment

I'm not sure if the ref to SMTP.pm is really relavent, the software can cope with this not being present. There error appears to be due to $meta not being defined, it's not obvious how this could happen. The URL appears to be odd, no web or topic between bin and save. I assume you can view and preview a page, can you check the urls all have Web and Topic in them.

-- JohnTalintyre - 23 Aug 2001

Yes, view and preview work just fine, it's only the final save step that generates an error.

I just verified that the URL in the browser window does include the web and topic. So, my real URL is http://premfg.umi.bhowell.com:58304/twiki-beta/bin/save/Test/TestTopic2, but in the Apache log I see

[Fri Aug 24 08:18:45 2001] save: Name "main::noForm" used only once: possible typo at /msdtools/apache_msdinet/twiki-beta/bin//save line 122.
[Fri Aug 24 08:18:45 2001] save: Name "main::tmpl" used only once: possible typo at /msdtools/apache_msdinet/twiki-beta/bin//save line 112.

Curiouser and curiouser ... the edit is saved after all, even though an error is reported.

I've just installed the latest beta and I see this error at every page view.

My environment:

A similar problem looks to have occured in the 20010720 beta - see SMTPnotWorking.

-- MartinPotter - 26 Aug 2001

Fix record

The SMTP error and the $meta problem should be fixed in the TWikiRelease01Dec2001.
