changes to generate-create-bug-url on Crash Stats

Hi!

I just did a Socorro 2024.04.08 deployment which pushed out big changes to the "generate-create-bug-url" code.

If you're looking at a crash report on Crash Stats site and go to the Bugzilla tab, the links to create new bugs and issues will have much improved comments now.

Instead of dropping arguments in function signatures, function signatures are now truncated at 80 characters (bug #1849266).

Additionally, the comment will be generated using JavaException when that's available (bug #1884041). This last one will fix bug creation for Fenix.

Here's an example. Crash report bp-eb6f852b-4656-4cf5-8350-fd91a0240408 which has a JavaException annotation, but no JavaStackTrace annotation. Before these changes, the comment would be:

Crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/eb6f852b-4656-4cf5-8350-fd91a0240408

Now the comment is:

Crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/eb6f852b-4656-4cf5-8350-fd91a0240408

8  android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnectionPool  open  SQLiteConnectionPool.java:204

9  android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConnectionPool  open  SQLiteConnectionPool.java:196

This also involved a refactoring of the code. The comment generation code is now in webapp/crashstats/libbugzilla.py and it's built in a way that's easier to extract and use in other places that take a processed crash report and want to generate a bug comment from it.

Let us know if you encounter any problems.

Thank you!
