Hey Peter, this was indeed reported and fixed in https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/commit/7294bd0af33bc974684c8ed8d21e97017660ca22, which should already be available in the release_15.05 branch of the repository if you update.

Sorry for the trouble, and even though it's resolved now, thanks for taking the time to debug this and write such a detailed error report including a patch!

Hello

I think a bug was introduced into galaxy-dist between the 15.03 and
15.05 releases, for the "Share history with user" function. The function
works for 15.03 but fails in 15.05.

To reproduce:
1. Click on the "cog" icon for a history and select "Share or publish"
2. Under "Share History with Individual Users" click "Share with a user"
3. Enter the email of another user on the system and click submit

In 15.03 this returns to the sharing screen and indicates that the
history has been shared with the specified user; in 15.05 this produces
a stack trace (or "internal server error" in a production setting").

The following patch appears to fix the problem:

Apologies if this has already been reported/fixed elsewhere, or if
there's a better way to submit this fix (if so then please let me know)

Best wishes

Peter
