Redmine

I can delete using DELETE method. It seems just PUT method is bugged.

My request details are:

{
  "method": "PUT",
  "transformRequest": [
    null
  ],
  "transformResponse": [
    null
  ],
  "url": "http://myredmine/issues/15836.json",
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*",
    "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8",
    "X-Redmine-API-Key": "53d8db12cd55c7a0dbffb557042fa0995b25956c" 
  },
  "data": "{\n  \"issue\": {\n    \"status_id\": 8,    \"notes\": \"descritive text about the change\"\n  }\n}",
  "timeout": {}
}

Hi,
I tested with your json string and could not reproduce this problem:

takeshi@takeshi-desktop:~$ curl -u ccea1c56b61c91be1f5db7faffe76f950eadf656:fake -x '' http://192.168.2.173:3000/issues/22.json -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"issue": {"status_id": 8,"notes": "descritive text about the change" }}'

The above was done in a server with a minimal set of plugins present:

Environment:
  Redmine version                3.4.2.stable
  Ruby version                   2.4.1-p111 (2017-03-22) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
  Rails version                  4.2.8
  Environment                    development
  Database adapter               Mysql2
SCM:
  Subversion                     1.8.8
  Git                            1.9.1
  Filesystem                     
Redmine plugins:
  hello                          0.0.1
  polls                          0.0.1
  redmine_changeauthor           1.0.1
  redmine_editauthor             0.11.0
  redmine_knowledgebase          0.0.1

I heard from people that are trying to upgrade Redmine in my company that some plugins are causing '500' errors.

Maybe you are seeing the same problem. You can try to track this down by removing plugins one by one till the issue disappears.

Thank you for trying to help me!

My environment is:

Environment:
  Redmine version                3.4.2.stable
  Ruby version                   2.2.6-p396 (2016-11-15) [x86_64-linux]
  Rails version                  4.2.8
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2
SCM:
  Subversion                     1.8.10
  Filesystem                     
Redmine plugins:
  redmine_spent_time_required    0.0.1
  redmine_surveys                0.0.2

I'll try to disable plugins and test again.

An other person suggested me that "if any required field is null or an field is missing, then redmine does not update the issue". I'll try to see if log is saying something like "null value" for any field.

Hi, Takeshi!

You're right! It was a plugin. I disabled 'redmine_spent_time_required' plugin and my test worked on it. Maybe some field that plugin has using is null. I'll do a deep debug to find what field is causing problem with REST API.

Thank you once more.
