636: Review Board: Changing perforce client causes "new review request" to stop functioning.

I am hopeful that someone will just tell me what to try to get around this.
 (For example is there a hidden file somewhere that points to the perforce
client specification?)

What steps will reproduce the problem? (Maybe)
1. Create a perforce client
2. Create a review board account and use it for a while
3. Change the root of the the perforce client.  (Make it one level deeper
and make the view one level higher.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Now, when you create a changelist in perforce and then try to make a new
review request, in the first page you fill in the repository, change number
and diff file.  Then clicking on "create review request" simply erases the
diff file and does not move to the next page.  Strangely enough this only
happens if the diff file is complex enough.  If the diff is just changing a
word in a comment, the error does not occur.  Any ideas???


What operating system are you using? What browser?
Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1)

There's probably an exception being thrown on the backend.  Can you check the server
logs?

I've never seen anything like this.

I am no longer confident that this is the source of my problem, rather just a
coincidence. Please disregard this thread.  (I will also check server logs, thank you.)

Okay. In that case, I'm going to close this out. If it turns out this was the cause,
please comment again and we'll reopen the bug.

Thanks!
