What happens if you replace 'flagtypes.name' with 'flag'. I think the
code takes 'boolean_query' and reparses the data inside which means the
'flagtypes.name' might not work.
Then again the magic at this level tends to confuse me.
Another common debug technique I use is to modify
/usr/lib64/python../site-packages/bugzilla/base.py::connect()
self._proxy = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url, transport)
to
self._proxy = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url, transport, verbose=True)
This gives a good dump showing what is going over the wire. Run the
'good' query and your code to see what the differences are. Or post it
here and I can help.
Cheers,
Don
