[rt-users] rt-crontool errors with rt3.8.1 using RT::Search::FromSQL

[falz]

Upgraded from RT 3.6.x to 3.8.1 the other day. The upgrade was
actually a clean install of RT, and the necessary db changes. I use
rt-crontool to do a few things like un-stall tickets using TicketSQL.
Here's an example:

/usr/local/bin/rt-crontool \
	--search RT::Search::FromSQL \
	--search-arg \
		"Status = 'resolved' \
		AND Queue = 'Incoming' \
		AND Owner != 'Nobody'" \
	--action RT::Action::AutoOpen \
	--verbose


When either runs, they fail with:

Wed Oct 29 12:24:48 2008] [crit]: Can't call method "Message" on an
undefined value at /usr/local/lib/rt38/RT/Action/AutoOpen.pm line 77.

This user appears to have the same issue:

Doing what it suggestes, which is adding --transaction to my run seems
to work. However, I don't understand its description:

"--transaction - Specify if you want to use either 'first', 'last' or
'all' transactions"

If I chose 'last' would this mean that my TicketSQL statement would
only look at the last (meaning most recent?) transaction for a ticket
and act on it?
