FogBugz and checkin comments

Post by kbonnin » Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:07 pm

One of the things I loved about Vault/Dragnet was that checkin comments get added to issues. For a variety of reasons, we now use FogBugz. I've got Vault 4.0.5 and FogBugz 6.0.

What I want is to add checkin comments in FB. I've already read:

http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=581

Tell me, does Vault happen to pass along the checkin comment as well, and perhaps cvsSubmit.asp isn't doing anything with it? Do you have some other solution? This not getting checkin comments assigned to the case is making me nuts!

regards, Ken

I don't believe that there is any way to include checkin comments with fogbugz updates. If you discover an API that we aren't yet taking advantage of, please let us know.

Correct, I do not believe that is the case yet, either. My question, however, is that in YOUR code, when you make your call to csvSubmit.aspx, do YOU pass over the checkin comments on the URL?

If you send it over, then they can catch it... ;-) Actually, since I write such websites for a living, I can easily modify FogBugz to do what I want it to do. However, I'd like to know if you guys send the checkinn comment on the URL call.

regards, Ken

We do not send the comment, because it wasn't supported in the fogbugz API that we knew of.

Thanks, Jeremy!

Then I have a feature request: please pass the checkin comment to csvSubmit.asp when checking in. The current version of FB will of course ignore it, but it opens the door for them (or me) to make that change.

thanks!

FogBugz API

Post by michaelpryor » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:07 pm

We do have an API that will allow you to add comments to the case.

http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/docs/60 ... d/API.html

There is the typical add a source control checkin part cmd=newCheckin
and then to add a comment you would make the cmd=edit call.

The API requires you to login with your fogbugz username and password via a URL.

As I posted on a parallel thread on FogBugz:

http://support.fogcreek.com/default.asp ... .4.21406.2

I'm barking up the wrong tree! The api exists. My request is for Vault to use this API and log checkin comments to FogBugz.

thanks!
