Hudson Trac Integration Plugin

Description

Integrate Hudson build results into the Trac timeline and (optionally) provide a navbar menu to link to the Hudson instance.

This plugin works very similar to the LuntbuildTracIntegration plugin and the Trac Continuum plugin. The build results are obtained from the Hudson remote API.

Configuration

As with all plugins, you must enable it explicitly, either via Trac's UI (Admin -> General -> Plugins) or by directly editing the trac.ini: 

[components]
hudsontrac.* = enabled

There are 8 options you can configure in your trac.ini under the section [hudson] (if you have the IniAdminPlugin installed they will show up on the Trac Admin page under hudson):

job_url
The url of the top-level hudson page if you want to display all jobs in the timeline, or a job or module url if you want only display builds from a single job or module. Examples: http://localhost/hudson/ (for builds from all jobs), http://localhost/hudson/job/build_foo/ (for builds from the build_foo job only). The default is http://localhost/hudson/.
username
The username to use when accessing hudson; leave empty if no authentication is needed. Default is empty.
password
The password to use when accessing hudson; leave empty if no authentication is needed. Default is empty.
display_modules
If set to true then display the builds of individual modules in the timeline too; otherwise only builds of jobs are displayed. Default is false.
main_page
The url of the hudson page to link to from the trac mainnav; if empty, no entry is created in the mainnav. Example: /hudson/. The default is /hudson/.
display_in_new_tab
If set to true then open the above hudson page in a new tab (or window) instead of in the current tab/window. Not used if main_page is not set. Default is false.
alternate_success_icon
Display a green ball instead of the standard blue one for successful builds. Default is false.
display_build_descriptions
Whether to display the build descriptions for each build instead of the canned "Build finished successfully" etc messages. Default is true.

Example trac.ini (not necessary if using the defaults): 

[hudson]
job_url = http://localhost/hudson/job/build_foo/
main_page = /hudson/job/build_foo/
alternate_success_icon = true

Lastly, make sure you assign users the BUILD_VIEW permission in order for them to be able to see the builds in the timeline.

Upgrade Notes

If you are upgrading from version 0.2 of this plugin (pre r6683) then you will need to make the following changes:

  • the feed_url option has been replaced by the job_url option; the latter points to the top-level hudson page or to a job page, not an RSS feed anymore.
  • the display_subprojects has been renamed display_modules
  • you must assign users the BUILD_VIEW permission in order for them to see the builds
  • The python-feedparser library is no longer required.
