the query: https://api-dev.bugzilla.mozilla.org/latest/bug?whiteboard=orange&include_fields=id,resolution&summary=browser_frameworker.js&order=resolution results in two queries on bugzilla: buglist.cgi?order=resolution&short_desc=browser_frameworker.js&status_whiteboard=orange&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&columnlist=resolution%2Cbug_id&ctype=csv show_bug.cgi?id=766826%2C797874%2C776554&ctype=xml&excludefield=attachmentdata&excludefield=long_desc if include_fields isn't specified, only the buglist.cgi query is executed. i think the problem may be at http://hg.mozilla.org/webtools/bzapi/file/eec0b8d574b8/lib/Bugzilla/API/Model/Bug.pm#l129 > if (!$result->{'bugs'}->[0]->{$include_field}) { if a field is set, but contains a value which evaluates to false, this will trigger the second fetch. perhaps this should be: > if (!exists $result->{'bugs'}->[0]->{$include_field}) {

You are quite right. Gerv

committed changeset 177:45117e70a5cd . glob: how much of an impact is this having? Is it urgent that the fix makes its way to api-dev soon? Gerv

Never mind - I've seen the other two bugs this causes. This is now deployed on /latest, and will be in a 1.2 release, whenever that happens. Gerv

Thank you Gerv! :-) Glob, I would be curious to know how many of the 50000 daily b.m.o requests from BzAPI specify "&include_fields=.*resolution". I would imagine most use-cases of bzapi involve at least fetching summary/status/resolution, so this would cause double calls quite a bit of the time surely? (Presuming many people even bother to specify include_fields).

thanks gerv :) on 2012-10-11, 11% bzapi buglist.cgi requests specified resolution as an include_field (3397 of 30437 requests).
