Bugzilla¶
You can import tasks from your Bz instance using
the bugzilla
service name.
Additional Dependencies¶
Install packages needed for Bugzilla support with:
pip install bugwarrior[bugzilla]
Example Service¶
Here’s an example of a bugzilla target.
This will scrape every ticket that:
- Is not closed and
- rbean@redhat.com is either the owner, reporter or is cc’d on the issue.
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!
[my_issue_tracker]
service = bugzilla
bugzilla.base_uri = bugzilla.redhat.com
bugzilla.username = rbean@redhat.com
bugzilla.password = OMG_LULZ
Alternately, if you are using a version of python-bugzilla newer than 2.1.0, you can specify an API key instead of a password. Note that the username is still required in this case, in order to identify bugs belonging to you.
bugzilla.api_key = 4f4d475f4c554c5a4f4d475f4c554c5a
The above example is the minimum required to import issues from
Bugzilla. You can also feel free to use any of the
configuration options described in Common Service Configuration Options.
Note, however, that the filtering options, including only_if_assigned
and also_unassigned
, do not work
There is an option to ignore bugs that you are only cc’d on:
bugzilla.ignore_cc = True
But this will continue to include bugs that you reported, regardless of whether they are assigned to you.
If your bugzilla “actionable” bugs only include ON_QA, FAILS_QA, PASSES_QA, and POST:
bugzilla.open_statuses = ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA,POST
This won’t create tasks for bugs in other states. The default open statuses: “NEW,ASSIGNED,NEEDINFO,ON_DEV,MODIFIED,POST,REOPENED,ON_QA,FAILS_QA,PASSES_QA”
If you’re on a more recent Bugzilla install, the NEEDINFO status no longer exists, and has been replaced by the “needinfo?” flag. Set “bugzilla.include_needinfos” to “True” to have taskwarrior also add bugs where information is requested of you. The “bugzillaneedinfo” UDA will be filled in with the date the needinfo was set.
To see all your needinfo bugs, you can use “task bugzillaneedinfo.any: list”.
If the filtering options are not sufficient to find the set of bugs you’d like,
you can tell Bugwarrior exactly which bugs to sync by pasting a full query URL
from your browser into the bugzilla.query_url
option:
bugzilla.query_url = https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?bug_status=ASSIGNED&email1=myname%40mozilla.com&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact
