Block state change not working

I’m seeing the following message in syslog when I create a block. More
accurately I think this may occur when a member of the duty team
responds to the block request. I expect the state to change from
‘pending activation’ to ‘active’ but it stays as ‘pending activation’.

RT: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/rt3/l
ocal/lib/RT/Condition/RTIR_BlockActivation.pm line 33.
(/opt/rt3/local/lib/RT/Co
ndition/RTIR_BlockActivation.pm:33)

I think the error may mean that the IsApplicable routine in the file
above always returns 0 and thus no state change occurs.

Does this make sense and is there a fix for this?

I’m running RTIR 2.3.17 on RT 3.7.26.

Many thanks.

Regards,
Tony.

Those versions are…astonishingly old snapshots at this point. Is it
possible to test on a released version?

Jesse,

Not immediately. We are planning to upgrade but it’s likely to be a few
weeks away yet. I was kind of hoping for a quick fix here!

Understood. Unfortunately, this sort of thing is where my sales people
prod me to say “It’s something we could help you with for your current
RT instance if you had a support contract.”

Maybe someone on the list can help.
