ini fields seem to be "hard coded" and/or unicode issues

[Jay]

First off, awesome plugin. this combined with your ValuePropagationPlugin will make some of my things a lot more viable in Trac.

However,

I am encountering some issues with this one. I was hoping to use a couple of the configurable options. Specifically "percent" and "parent" however, I have found they only work when the field they are configured to, match the option's expected (with the exception of percent, which just won't work for me).

the first one seems more like a unicode issue the second one actually errors out down the line on the 'level' request.

i.e:
fields.percent= pct_complete
#gives an error
fields.percent = percent
# still fails
fields.parent = parent
#gives and error
fields.parent = parents
#works, if I change my parent field to parents instead of parent, which breaks my child-tickets usage. (an upgrade to subtickets with the child-tickets patches will adresss that issue, however...)

it's as if the configured field is not actually passing the valued it is configured to, but if it is present, it's looking it up based on a predetermined value.

I am on 0.12 which might have something to do with it. trace after the break

I think I fixed the percent complete issue.

I'm not sure I understand the parent issue. What plugin are you using for subtickets?

[Jay]

I am using ChildTicketsPlugin The version I have uses the filed "parent" where SubticketsPlugin uses the field "parents". if I understood the intent of the .ini setting however, I would of thought I could use a field called booglie_dooda in ticket-custom if I wanted as the parent field, and defined under [trac-jsgantt] fields.parent=booglie_dooda.

However, looking closely at this plugin description, and the snippet in the error code, I get the feeling my assumption of the way it works is wrong. Upon further review I think it automatically uses "parents" if it is defined in [ticket-custom] If that is correct, then I should of logged a separate enhancement request to make the "parent" field a configurable parameter of [trac-jsgantt].

that said I am going to move to the SubticketsPlugin with the patches anyway, so this might be a moot point.

and wow on the quick response time!

Again thanks, this plugin plus a few of your others has enabled me to push trac to a level I need it for a lot my daily stuff. Now if the author just picks back up on the EvidenceSchedulingPlugin plugin :D Maybe it's time I learn to write plugins..

Replying to yoheeb@gmail.com:

That is the intent and I just combed through my code again to make sure that I'm using it as intended. I think I am.

However, as I recall, ChildTicketsPlugin set the custom field value to "#nnnn", not "nnnn" and "#nnnn" clearly isn't a valid integer. Perhaps I should strip a leading "#" from the parent field, if found, to be more flexible.

However, looking closely at this plugin description, and the snippet in the error code, I get the feeling my assumption of the way it works is wrong.

No, what I intend is that the parent field name be configurable just like estimate and worked and pred and succ.

that said I am going to move to the SubticketsPlugin with the patches anyway, so this might be a moot point.

But I'd like to have this working.

and wow on the quick response time!

I wanted to get this plugin in as good shape as possible before I forget how it works. ;-)

Same for me which is why I'm writing them.

It's not that hard. I've only been doing it a few weeks and I seem to have accomplished something.

[Jay]

Verified the percent works now. additionally, it works with both text and select options, which is a nice bonus. (~36.5%) or (almost) doesn't help with a text field :D

However, as I recall, ChildTicketsPlugin set the custom field value to "#nnnn", not "nnnn" and "#nnnn" clearly isn't a valid integer. Perhaps I should strip a leading "#" from the parent field, if found, to be more flexible.

ahh yes, forgot about that, not only that, it is wiki formatted, so I am not sure exactly how it is stored in the ticket database. might be more than just stripping a leading '"#"' if it exists, but I bet that works.

And wow, I was way of on my initial analysis on both these issues. not sure what is up with that.

[Chris Nelson]

(In [9645]) Handle leading # in parent field. Refs #8289.

This is specifically for ChildTicketsPlugin but may affect others, too. Tested by forcing leading "#" since I don't have ChildTickets installed.

[Chris Nelson]

(In [9646]) Compute percent complete in format routine, not preprocessing. Refs #8289.

By setting self.fieldspercent? in format, other logic which depended on whether the user had configured percent complete or not failed. This is cleaner, though perhaps still not optimal.

[Jay]

The original 2 issues in this ticket I have verified have been fixed. I have done so in the latest version [9646] actually a later repository version.

However, I did create a new issue, which might be related to the 9646 comment above. see #8309

Thanks. this plugin is coming in quite handy.

My usage scenario. %complete is evaluated by the developer after updating the task, irrespective of the initial estimate (estimated hours) and hours worked thus far. : i.e. estimatedhours = 5, worked=5, pct_complete=50% "oops, I under estimated"
