Sebb commented on WHIMSY-426: ----------------------------- The nominate_member.cgi script will also need to be changed to allow for a 'n/a' id and to provide the user name (which is currently derived from the id) > member-files.rb errors on nominees with no availid > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WHIMSY-426 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-426 > Project: Whimsy > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Shane Curcuru > Assignee: Sebb > Priority: Minor > > As reported by Neil: nominating someone without an existing committer id > fails because this requires an availid lookup. New Member nominations must > not require a committer ID; they should fallback to simply keeping the > existing text of a nomination block. > See this and possibly other places that make this assumption: > https://github.com/apache/whimsy/blob/912a0e272e5f364b7fec3f15fc531158b1928a15/lib/whimsy/asf/member-files.rb#L121 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
