Question

My ACTIONSEARCH statements are failing for two users.

Scenario: Users go to a topic called MyTasks, where I have an ACTIONSEARCH that should list all open tasks assigned to them, like this:

%ACTIONSEARCH{ who="me" web="webs|to|search" state="(?!closed).*" }%

For most users, this works awesome. These two users, however, see nothing. I've tested as many variations of the ACTIONSEARCH syntax I can think of, and the only thing that works for them is this:

%ACTIONSEARCH{ who="me" }%

If you add any other argument at all, the search is empty. Other users don't experience this.

I'm not sure where to start looking for causes, to determine if this is a configuration issue or a bug. The two users in question are defined like the other, working users, and I can find nothing in any log files.

We use LdapNgPlugin and NewUserPlugin to register LDAP users at login time. I can find no meaningful differences in the users, or any of their LDAP attributes (most of which aren't really applicable anyways).

I'm tsnfoo on irc, if anyone want's to help me debug.

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I've grepped all over the place, and still found nothing. Unfortunately, the two users that have noticed the issue are project managers, so this will start hurting adoption if I can't find a solution/workaround

Any feedback/suggestions would be awesome.

The only thing I can think of is if you enable command-tracking in the TWiki/Sandbox.pm module, and then try running the commands it issues from the command line. Can they search if you use who="TWikiName" instead of who="me" ?

Thanks Crawford. We're building a new 4.2.2 VM, which so far doesn't display this behavior. I'll RTFM the command line stuff, and try that on the still-broken 4.2.0 instance.
