Defect #32977
closedRemove references to deleted user from "user"-Format CustomFields
0%
Description
When a user record is destroyed, custom field values for custom fields with field_format == 'user'
referencing the destroyed user are left unchanged.
This leads to problems with queries on such a custom field when using either the none
or any
operators, since these match against custom_values.value
(not) being null
or ''
- records that have the destroyed user's ID set will not turn up in the none
query, but in the any
query, despite being displayed with an empty value in the UI.
The attached patch adds a test case and addresses the issue by removing custom_values
records that reference the destroyed user.

We shouldn't add a migration to remove the existing orphaned values?

we should indeed do that. I'll take care of that tomorrow.

Jens, I've reviewed the patch and it looks good to me, except the test that fails:
➜ redmine git:(patch/32977) ✗ ruby test/unit/user_test.rb -n test_remove_custom_field_references_upon_destroy
Skipping LDAP tests.
Run options: -n test_remove_custom_field_references_upon_destroy --seed 57996

Expected: 20
Actual: 19
I think the problem is in the test because the following update:
issue.update(custom_field_values:
{
cf1.id => @jsmith.id,
cf2.id => [@dlopper.id, @jsmith.id]
})
generates 3 entries in
CustomValue
(one for each user) and we should expect 3 less custom values when the user jsmith is destroyed.

I just tried and it passes here (MySQL 5.6, Ruby 2.6).
Since we delete jsmith
(but not dlopper
), the custom value for @dlopper should not be affected. I have no clue why the test fails for you though.

Thanks, you're right, user @dlopper should not be affected, I will take again a look. It doesn't fail only on my local environment, it fails also on the custom Gitlab CI.

The number of CustomValue
decreases with 3 not because of those 3 values that are added during the tests (as I wrongly said first time), but because @jsmith user has also a CustomValue of type User (CustomValue#3) which is deleted as well when user is destroyed.
Jens, it should fail also on your environment if you use the default Redmine fixtures.
I'm going to change the user in the tests and I will commit this fix.

Patch committed, thank you.
I've updated the tests to assert -3 custom values and I added a comment.
