For the change in bug 1054112 comment 1 ("Create attachment with comment and request review from emorley") I received two bugmails (as usual) - the "review requested" one and the "someone has commented" one. For the review requested bugmail, the comment was missing. ie bug 1054112 comment 1 has: { /r/104 - Bug 1054112 - Install hghooks package into testing environment /r/105 - Bug 1054112 - Convert try-mandatory hook tests into .t tests } And so does the "someone has commented" bugmail. Whereas the flag requested just says: { Gregory Szorc [:gps] <gps@snip.com> has asked Ed Morley [:edmorley] <emorley@snip.com> for review: Bug 1054112: Convert some hooks tests to Mercurial testing format https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1054112 Attachment 8473416 [details]: Review for review ID: bz://1054112/gps https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8473416&action=edit } I'm presuming this is something to do with the ReviewBoard integration, as opposed to a regression to bugmail in general.

I believe this is because we are posting the attachment without a description, and then posting the comment about it separately. We should probably change the behaviour here and stick the comment inside the update of the attachment. dkl, mcote, you're the Bugzilla guys, thoughts?

But the comment text is in the same bugzilla comment as the "attachment created" when looking at bug 1054112 comment 1? Or is rbbz doing lower level DB updates in different transactions, rather than using the REST API?

Ah you're right, it is posting it along with it [1]. rbbz is still using the xmlrpc API to talk to bugzilla, but there are plans to move it to the REST API eventually. I think I'll let dkl/mcote figure out what's going wrong here, my bugzilla knowledge is limited.

Flag notifications emails do not contain the comment unless the change was done through the Bugzilla web UI. For flags requests created through the webservice API, the comment is not included. Admittedly this should be fixed upstream but is current behavior. dkl

Ah ok, thank you :-)

I'm sure bzexport uploads show a comment though? Is this a difference between the various APIs?

As I remember, bzexport is still using or used to use the BzAPI server (api-dev) which is probably why it had comments in the emails. It used attachment.cgi behind the scenes to create the attachment. But the BzAPI extension on BMO uses the standard Bug.add_attachment which does not show the comment in the email. So it depends on which api server the user has their bzexport extension pointing to. dkl
