Bug in the XML-RPC API was created by orsayman
Dear all,

We use python scripts to automate some tasks. The scripts are based on the XML-RPC version of the remote control API (the main reason is because there is a XML-RPC client in the standard library).

Today I noticed that a script was no longer working (too bad it was the second time this script was used in production :). LS version is 3.27.1 (210531). It was updated since last time we used the script hence the breakage.

I tracked down the problem to the fact that the send_invitation function returns an invalid XML document (the name and email is anonymized):
Code:
<methodResponse><params><param><value><struct><member><name><![CDATA[6]]></name>\n<value><struct><member><name><![CDATA[name]]></name>\n<value><string><![CDATA[XXXX XXXX]]></string>\n</value></member><member><name><![CDATA[email]]></name>\n<value><string><![CDATA[xxxx@example.org]]></string>\n</value></member><member><name><![CDATA[status]]></name>\n<value><string><![CDATA[OK]]></string>\n</value></member></struct></value></member><member><name><![CDATA[status]]></name>\n<value><string><![CDATA[0 left to send]]></string>\n</value></member></struct></value></param></params></methodResponse>2021-06-04 16:10:39 CLIENT -&amp;gt; SERVER: QUIT<br>\n'


Note that the email is correctly sent.

As you can see, the offending part is 2021-06-04 16:10:39 CLIENT -&gt; SERVER: QUIT. I have looked at the source code of version 3.27.1 I wonder if the problem could come from limesurvey/application/third_party/phpmailer/src/SMTP.php. Any idea ?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu

Usually it should work with the same credentials.

If not, you will probably have to send an email to the Limesurvey GmbH, maybe the databases have not been synchronized yet.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Just to mention that I turned off " SMTP debug mode" (it was previously set to "on errors") and the problem is gone so this seems related to the file i pointed.
