Question

<input type="hidden" name="closed" value="BAD DATE FORMAT see Wiki.ActionTrackerPlugin#DateFormats"/>

I have checked and re checked the date format against the Time::ParseDate list and am absolutely convinced it is correct.

Here is the action before an edit;

%ACTION{ due="21-Jun-2005" creator="Main.NickPorter" uid="000006" state="open" created="21-Jun-2005" who="Main.NickPorter" notify="Main.NickPorter" }% Test Action

And here is the action after an edit;

%ACTION{ closed="BAD DATE FORMAT see TWiki.ActionTrackerPlugin#DateFormats" due="21-Jun-2005" creator="Main.NickPorter" uid="000006" state="open" created="21-Jun-2005" who="Main.NickPorter" closer="" notify="Main.NickPorter" }% Test Action - add something

I feel this has to be something to do with the dependancies but I've checked them with the ActionTrackerPlugin_installer.pl and everything seems to be okay. Here's the output;

*** ActionTrackerPlugin depends on package TWiki::Contrib::CairoContrib >=1.000,
which is described as "Optional, required if plugin is to be run with versions of TWiki before Cairo (1 Sep 2004). Available from the TWiki:Plugins/CairoContrib repository."
But when I tried to find it I got this error:

Can't locate TWiki/Contrib/CairoContrib.pm

Would you like me to try to download and install the latest version of CairoContrib from twiki.org? [y/n] n

I can't automatically update the revision history for
TWiki.ActionTrackerPlugin
Please edit the topic in TWiki and Save without changing it to update the history.

### ActionTrackerPlugin installed with 1 unsatisfied dependencies ###

The line of code which I believe is adding the hidden input tag is 406 from the formatTime sub in Action.pm. For some reason the $time variable is not being passed.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this or pointers for further trouble shooting would be most welcome.

Answer

Hmm. The closed field is populated when the topic is saved, when the action state is found to be closed. What does the saved action look like in the TWiki topic after you close the action? I need to see the %ACTION tag....

Update: I'm pretty much certain this is the same problem as ActionTrackerCloserEmpty - I will track the problem there.
