Integrate Trac tickets with Perforce jobs

[Lewis Baker]

It would be quite useful to be able to replicate ticket information from Trac in Perforce's builtin jobs so that developers can use the standard p4 command line tools to:

• update ticket information (p4 jobs)
• associate changes with tickets (p4 fix)
• query whether the fix for a ticket is present on a specified branch (p4 fixes)

Perforce already supports altering the status of a job when an associated change is submitted. Hooking into this would reduce the need for developers to remember to enter information in two different systems (Trac and Perforce).

Replying to ttressieres:
Hi.
I've tried to use this scripts and I've been expiriencing some problem. I've got this error while running this script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "p4_trac_jobs.py", line 415, in ?
    ticket.mainLoop()
  File "p4_trac_jobs.py", line 380, in mainLoop
    self.tktperforce.updateTicket(p, self.mergedTickets[p])
  File "p4_trac_jobs.py", line 183, in updateTicket
    job = perforce.Job(self.p4, jobname)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Job'

It seems to me this error is related to this words:

Requirements

• PyPerforce 0.3a1 with a patch for jobs
  

You can find this requirements here: ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PerforceJobScript

I dont know where I should get this patch for jobs. Maybe I'm not right with this idea about PyPerforce patch, so tell me please what wrong with this script.

P.S.

My configuration:

• python-2.4.3
• Trac 0.10
• PyPerforce-0.3a1-py2.4
• TracPerforce-0.4.2-py2.4
• perforceplugin-632.patch
• PyProtocols-0.9.3-py2.4

Hi, I've sent a mail to lewis baker to update the PyPerforce library. But by now it is not available, so i will attach the two files necessary for this script.

[ttressieres]

init file of PyPerforce patch

[ttressieres]

objects.py file of PyPerforce patch

[Lewis Baker]

The trunk of ​PyPerforce now has these changes integrated.

There is also a fix for the "'p4 jobs' outputs 2nd and subsequent jobs to 'records' instead of 'forms'" issue in there.

[Lewis Baker]

I would like to have a look at the new ​P4 Defect Tracking Gateway to see how easy it is to implement using that framework. It seems that a lot of the hard work might already be done by Perforce.
