Blueprint registration form should default to you as drafter

Yes it makes sense here to return the default drafter as the person registering it. I'll work on it :) Thanks.

Hi Vikram.

The implementation for this is a bit tricky for new developers. This requires an update to one view and a new test.
 * lp.blueprints.browser.specification.NewSpecificationView
  The method may be as simple as this:
    def setUpWidgets(self):
        super(NewSpecificationView, self).setUpWidgets()
        widget = self.widgets['drafter']
        widget.setRenderedValue(self.user)

* lp.blueprints.browser.specification.test.test_specification.py
    drafter = self.factory.makePerson()
    view = create_initialized_view(target, '+new', principal=drafter)
    self.assertEqual(drafter, view.widgets['drafter']._getFormValue())

Thanks Curtis, you rock, yes I have something like that in mind, I could just return the name in self.context.name as the default while registering the blueprint in the schema. The test for this could be little tricky, but I'll figure it out :)

@Curtis: Just found this out:

class NewSpecificationView(LaunchpadFormView):
    """An abstract view for creating a new specification."""

    page_title = 'Register a blueprint in Launchpad'
    label = "Register a new blueprint"

    @action(_('Register Blueprint'), name='register')
    def register(self, action, data):
        """Registers a new specification."""
        self.transform(data)
        spec = getUtility(ISpecificationSet).new(
            owner = self.user,
            name = data.get('name'),
            title = data.get('title'),
            specurl = data.get('specurl'),
            summary = data.get('summary'),
            product = data.get('product'),
            drafter = data.get('drafter'), """<---- Could changing this to drafter = self.user make things work??"""
            assignee = data.get('assignee'),
            approver = data.get('approver'),
            distribution = data.get('distribution'),
            definition_status = data.get('definition_status'))

This is the method processes the user's submitted data. That does not work because the user does not know he it being set the drafter. Users will quickly report bugs. The setUpWidgets(self) is the correct place to set default values so that the user can see and change the proposed value.

Fixed in stable r16911 <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/16911>.
