Sync github, bitbucket, and trac issues with taskwarrior

Project description

bugwarrior is a command line utility for updating your local taskwarrior database from your forge issue trackers.

It currently supports the following remote resources:

Configuring

Create a ~/.bugwarriorrc file with the following contents.

# Example ~/.bugwarriorrc
#
# PASSWORD LOOKUP STRATEGIES:
# Use "password = @oracle:use_keyring" to retrieve a password from a keyring.
# Use "password = @oracle:ask_password" to ask the user for the password.
# Use "password = @oracle:eval:<command>" to use the output of <command> as the password.
# Note that using one of these strategies is in general more secure
# than storing a password in plain text.

# General stuff.
[general]
# Here you define a comma separated list of targets.  Each of them must have a
# section below determining their properties, how to query them, etc.  The name
# is just a symbol, and doesn't have any functional importance.
targets = my_github, my_bitbucket, paj_bitbucket, moksha_trac, bz.redhat

# log.level specifices the verbosity.  The default is DEBUG.
# log.level can be one of DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, DISABLED
#log.level = DEBUG

# If log.file is specified, output will be redirected there.  If it remains
# unspecified, output is sent to sys.stderr
#log.file = /var/log/bugwarrior.log

# The bitly username and api key are used to shorten URLs to the issues for your
# task list.  If you leave these options commented out, then the full URLs
# will be used in your task list.
#bitly.api_user = YOUR_USERNAME
#bitly.api_key = YOUR_API_KEY

# This is an experimental mode where bugwarrior will query all of your
# online sources simultaneously.  It works as far as I've tested it, so
# give it a try.  Please backup your ~/.task/ directory first and report
# any problems if you encounter them at
# https://github.com/ralphbean/bugwarrior/issues
#multiprocessing = False

# Configure the default description or annotation length.
#annotation_length = 45
#description_length = 35

# This section is for configuring notifications when bugwarrior-pull runs,
# and when issues are created, updated, or deleted by bugwarrior-pull.
# Three backend are currently suported:
#
#  - growlnotify (v2)   Mac OS X   "gntp" must be installed
#  - gobject            Linux      python gobject must be installed
#  - pynotify           Linux      "pynotify" must be installed
#
# To configure, adjust the settings below.  Note that neither of the
# "sticky" options have any effect on Linux with pynotify.  They only work
# for growlnotify.
[notifications]
# notifications = True
# backend = growlnotify
# finished_querying_sticky = False
# task_crud_sticky = True


# This is a github example.  It says, "scrape every issue from every repository
# on http://github.com/ralphbean.  It doesn't matter if ralphbean owns the issue
# or not."

# Working with a large number of projects, instead of excluding most of them I
# can also simply include just a limited set.
include_repos = project_foo,project_foz

# Note that login and username can be different.  I can login as me, but
# scrape issues from an organization's repos.
login = ralphbean

# This is the same thing, but for bitbucket.  Each target entry must have a
# 'service' attribute which must be one of the supported services (like
# 'github', 'bitbucket', 'trac', etc...).

# Here's another bitbucket one.  Here we want to scrape the issues from repos of

# to me.

# Here's an example of a trac target.  Scrape every ticket and only include them

# Note -- You must have the trac XML-RPC plugin installed and configured to work
# over HTTP.

# Here's an example of a bugzilla target.  This will scrape every ticket
# 1) that is not closed and 2) that rbean@redhat.com is either the
# owner or reporter or is cc'd on.  Bugzilla instances can be quite different
# from one another so use this with caution and please report bugs so we can
# make bugwarrior support more robust!
[bz.redhat]
service = bugzilla

# Here's an example of a jira project. The ``jira-python`` module is
# a bit particular, and jira deployments, like Bugzilla, tend to be
# reasonably customized. So YMMV. The ``base_uri`` must not have a
# have a trailing slash. In this case we fetch comments and
# cases from jira assigned to 'ralph' where the status is not closed or
# resolved.
[jira.project]

# Set this to your jira major version. We currently support only jira version
# 4 and 5(the default). You can find your particular version in the footer at
# the dashboard.

# Here's an example of a teamlab target.

# Here's an example of a redmine target.

# Here's an example of an activecollab3 target. This is only valid for
# activeCollab 3.x, see below for activeCollab 2.x.
#
# Obtain your user ID and API url by logging in, clicking on your avatar on
# the lower left-hand of the page. When on that page, look at the URL. The
# number that appears after "/user/" is your user ID.
#
# On the same page, go to Options and API Subscriptions. Generate a read-only
# API key and add that to your bugwarriorrc file.
#
# Bugwarrior will only gather tasks and subtasks for projects in your "Favorites"
# list. Note that if you have 10 projects in your favorites list, bugwarrior
# will make 21 API calls on each run: 1 call to get a list of favorites, then
# 2 API calls per projects, one for tasks and one for subtasks.

[activecollab3]
service = activecollab3
url = https://ac.example.org/api.php
key = your-api-key
user_id = 15

# Here's an example of an activecollab2 target. Note that this will only work
# with ActiveCollab 2.x - see above for 3.x.
#
# You can obtain your user ID and API url by logging into ActiveCollab and
# clicking on "Profile" and then "API Settings". When on that page, look
# at the URL. The integer that appears after "/user/" is your user ID.
#
# Projects should be entered in a comma-separated list, with the project
# id as the key and the name you'd like to use for the project in Taskwarrior
# entered as the value. For example, if the project ID is 8 and the project's
# name in ActiveCollab is "Amazing Website" then you might enter 8:amazing_website
#
# Note that due to limitations in the ActiveCollab API, there is no simple way
# to get a list of all tasks you are responsible for in AC. Instead you need to
# look at each ticket that you are subscribed to and check to see if your
# user ID is responsible for the ticket/task. What this means is that if you
# have 5 projects you want to query and each project has 20 tickets, you'll
# make 100 API requests each time you run `bugwarrior-pull`

[activecollab2]
service = activecollab2
url = http://ac.example.org/api.php
key = your-api-key
user_id = 15
projects = 1:first_project, 5:another_project

Using

Just run bugwarrior-pull.

It’s ideal to create a cron task like:

*/15 * * * *  /usr/bin/bugwarrior-pull

Bugwarrior can emit desktop notifications when it adds or completes issues to and from your local ~/.task/ db. If your ~/.bugwarriorrc file has notifications turned on, you’ll also need to tell cron which display to use by adding the following to your crontab:

DISPLAY=:0
*/15 * * * *  /usr/bin/bugwarrior-pull

Getting bugwarrior

Installing from the Python Package Index

Installing it from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bugwarrior is easy with pip:

$ pip install bugwarrior

Alternatively, you can use easy_install if you prefer:

$ easy_install bugwarrior

Installing from Source

You can find the source on github at http://github.com/ralphbean/bugwarrior. Either fork/clone if you plan to do development on bugwarrior, or you can simply download the latest tarball:

$ wget https://github.com/ralphbean/bugwarrior/tarball/master -O bugwarrior-latest.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf bugwarrior-latest.tar.gz
$ cd ralphbean-bugwarrior-*
$ python setup.py install

Hacking on It

You should install the virtualenv tool for python. (I use a wrapper for it called virtualenvwrapper which is awesome but not required.) Virtualenv will help isolate your dependencies from the rest of your system.

$ sudo yum install python-virtualenv git
$ mkdir -p ~/virtualenvs/
$ virtualenv ~/virtualenvs/bugwarrior

You should now have a virtualenv in a ~/virtualenvs/ directory. To use it, you need to “activate” it like this:

$ source ~/virtualenv/bugwarrior/bin/activate
(bugwarrior)$ which python

At any time, you can deactivate it by typing deactivate at the command prompt.

Next step – get the code!

(bugwarrior)$ git clone git@github.com:ralphbean/bugwarrior.git
(bugwarrior)$ cd bugwarrior
(bugwarrior)$ python setup.py develop
(bugwarrior)$ which bugwarrior-pull

This will actually run it.. be careful and back up your task directory!

(bugwarrior)$ bugwarrior-pull
