I’m using localy installed (LAN based) Bugzilla database. I got the Exception (attahced below) when I try to open details of a bug. How I can troubeshoot this ? The rest of features related to Bugzilla integration works OK . I mean :
1) testing connection to server usisn Window/Preferences – OK
2) Serching for BUG’s using Search menu works – OK
3) Seting bug as favorite works – OK
4) Creating new Bug using File /New/New BugReport – creates new bug in Bugzilla then throws the exception descrbed bellow
5) Clik on bug in favorites list throws the exception attached below

HOW TO troubleshoot this issue ?

What version of BZ? The plugin is currently very picky, we would suggest you keep an extra Web Browser View open and just navigate to your local BZ install as a workaround.

I’m curently use work this arround. The BZ version 2.18.3 with a few modification in UI. If you could describe what is required to make it run e.g. speacial URL have to be submited and the server response must contains some special values I can check if our BZ meets this requirments. I just want to decide if I can solve this problem by myself

Bobziak,
We appologize for the current state of the BZ plugin, it currently relies too heavily on an unmodified install of BZ, versions 2.16 and while we did test with 2.18, folks have reported problems with that. I can’t promise too much right now, it is one of our least used features and we are swamped with work for 4.1 and 4.2/5.0 with high priority items.
