Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-05-27 17:01:10 EDT
Steps:
1. Start with empty workspace so that Eclipse.org repository does not have credentials
2. Submit new bug to Eclipse.org

An unknown error is displayed instead of the expected repository properties dialog or an authentication error.

I have noticed this in other cases as well where issue submission failed due to a invalid security token or mid air collision. Instead of getting a meaningful message I got the message shown in the screenshot.

Args, patch was meant for bug 310871.
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-05-29 14:43:43 EDT
I am marking this major since it's a serious usability regression and there is no possible work-around to discover the actual error when task submission fails.
Comment 5 Robert Elves CLA 2010-06-01 16:42:08 EDT
There was a small error committed as part of bug#301870. This has now been resolved and errors now propagate correctly.
