How can i fix this ?

Hello reda:

This does looks like a bug.

However the bug was triggered by an error in your form. It reports as:

  Erreur de modification\xc2\xa0: Cl\xc3\xa9 doc incorrecte : sans

I am not able to understand what failed.

Because of this error the string submitted as the value
of chiffrageDelai was not converted into a date. So calling
local on it failed.

Fixing the issue that caused the initial error would remove the trigger
for the failure.

Changing context.chiffrageDelai.pretty('%Y-%m-%d') to plain() will 
succeed even if the trigger is present.

I started a discussion on the developer mailing list on the best
way to fix this. You can view the archive at: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/roundup-devel/.

The next version 2 release (mid July) will include the fix.
I do not expect there to be any more releases in the 1.6 line.
So I will also generate a patch for 1.6.1 that you can apply to
fix this issue.

Hopefully we will have a patch by next week.

Have a great day.

Hello Rouilj,

Thank you for your help. I will wait for the patch. 

best regards,

Hi Reda:

Can you verify that the error message I reported was valid?

Please try the same update that caused the error after fixing
the error. Can you verify that the exception doesn't happen.

I just want to make sure I have diagnosed the cause of the error
correctly.

Thanks.

Hi reda:

Can you try this patch after testing with input that
doesn't trigger the error.

Then with this patch applied, please test with the same input
that caused the error.

Here is the patch against 1.6.1.

Thanks.

-- rouilj

Fix for this is on the main branch as rev 6377:a7e7314fb7d9.

Hi rouilj,

Thank u for the patch, i will not be able to test this week. I ll let you know next week. 

Best regards,

Reda, did you test the patch? It is in release 2.1.0 so if it needs more work
I would like to know.

Assuming it works. Closing.
