i want to extract a person's real name from the report they filed so that i can give them credit in the changelog. could we add "Real Name" to the output ?
Not without changing Bugzilla itself. The real names are displayed in the web UI, but they are not passed to web services clients.
you can get their name from the xml format. i'm guessing that's what you mean. $ wget -q -O bug.xml https://bugs.gentoo.org/382837?ctype=xml $ xml sel -E utf8 -t -m bugzilla/bug/long_desc -c who -n bug.xml | head -1 <who name="SpanKY">vapier</who>
No, we aren't using the xml format any longer. Pybugz switched over to using the bugzilla web services via xmlrpc. by any of the bug-related commands [1]. [1] http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.2/en/html/api/Bugzilla/WebService/Bug.html
(In reply to comment #3) > by any of the bug-related commands [1]. This should say "Real names are not returned by any of the bug-related commands."
I am closing this as invalid due to it being a bugzilla issue (see comment #3 and comment #4). I can't print the full names because they aren't returned to me by bugzilla.
