I have written a transition that should give the user a Reviewer localrole. 
Unfortunately, the script I call to do this does not seem to be working.

The code, based on folder_localrole_edit, is: 

# get the object and its ID
object = state_change.object
id = object.getId()

# get the user and id
user = context.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember()
userId = (user.getId(),)

return userId
pm = container.portal_membership
pm.setLocalRoles(object, userId, 'Reviewer')

it has one parameter, state_change. It has a proxy role of Manager. I know 
it is being called from the transition, because an early code bug elicited 
an error.

I am stumped, any help would be much appreciated.

I assume you've tried taking out that "return userId" that appears before the 
local-role-setting lines? ;)

I don't see anything obviously wrong here, but have only eyeballed this and 
not tested it. If you're stumped, I'd run it under the debugger. You can do 
this by:

1) making this an external method, and adding pdb-drop-into lines into (import 
pdb; pdb.set_trace()), then step through it via the console

2) use WingIDE's Zope debugging capabilities to step through it

Then you can literally see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion. I created a script as suggested. I played around 
with it all weekend and have determined that it must be a permissions 
problem. Any user that is a manager can use the script, but nobody else can. 
It doesn't give the standard error that you don't have the privileges, it 
just silently fails. I have given the script manager proxy, but that didn't 
work. I then gave it a proxy for every role, still didn't work. Am I doing 
something wrong? or is this a bug in zope/plone?

Thanks again,

David

I would suggest using verbose security and see if that reveals anything,
although it may not since it is silently failing...

What did running it under a debugger show?

about silently failing, may I suggest a dirty dirty tactic?  when
you're not sure just where bad things happen, stick a "raise
Exception, str(something)"  in your code. quick sanity checks... you
could call state_change .object.get_local_roles() for instance.

at least I try... of course doing this on a production site may cause
rashes or halitosis, but hey.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to set up WingIDE to give that a 
shot. I just got really sick last night, so I'll continue work and let you 
know the outcome when I am functioning again.
