Submit a bug automatically.

Hi to all,
I'm using Mantis 1.1.8 to keep my software bugs and I'm working to automate a bug report from my C++ application when a problem happens to someone who is using it. So I've debugged the HTTP traffic during the normal work on Mantis and the following are the HTTP Header and Object:

So I've wrote the code to login(it works ) and the code to submit a bug but I've recieved the following message in "My View" page:

APPLICATION ERROR #2800

Invalid form security token. Did you submit the form twice by accident?

Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section.

Ok, I,ve tried to read the bug_report.php code(I'm not so expert) to understand how to fix my application. I suspect, probably, that it depends on the first paramer "bug_report_token":

20090831-c9fc2e04d74851c3b8b24d62b05a13e4ae349a70

due to form_security_validate( 'bug_report' ); funcion as follow

Code: Select all

	# --------------------------------------------------------
	# $Id: bug_report.php,v 1.49.2.1 2007-10-13 22:32:51 giallu Exp $

	# This page stores the reported bug

	require_once( 'core.php' );

	$t_core_path = config_get( 'core_path' );

	require_once( $t_core_path.'string_api.php' );
	require_once( $t_core_path.'file_api.php' );
	require_once( $t_core_path.'bug_api.php' );
	require_once( $t_core_path.'custom_field_api.php' );

	form_security_validate( 'bug_report' );

	access_ensure_project_level( config_get('report_bug_threshold' ) );

	$t_bug_data = new BugData;
	$t_bug_data->build				= gpc_get_string( 'build', '' );
	$t_bug_data->platform				= gpc_get_string( 'platform', '' );

Is it true? Can you help me? It's very important, for me, to automate the bur reporting action, thanks in advance. Danilo

I'm not sure this is the good way. If your database (MySQL or other) is available on internet, you can directly use the sql client to add a bug. If not, you can try to make your own PHP page (which will handle authentication and bug report) and call this page through your application.

[cydside]

Thanks, I will try the SQL client solution!

[deboutv]

Ok, look in the core/bug_api.php file to see what you should insert in the SQL tables (there is a lot of table to set: bug_table, history_table, ...).

Your C++ application should use the MantisBT SOAP API to report issues.
