work with XMLRPC plugin

[uray]

Hi walnut,

This plugin still not working with XMLRPC, got the error message like "'Environment' object has no attribute 'childtickets' while executing ticket.update()", but I think you have fixed this issue in 0.12 branch (#8643), so would you please merge your changes to branch 0.11?

Many thanks and happy new year!

Hi

(...and Happy New Year!)

I did make the changes for 0.11 but then had to back them out again as there were problems with caching and Trac 0.11 does not implement a generic cachemanager (see #8643)

I will try and see if I can get a workaround in place for this ....

I have made a change and committed in [11112], please rebuild, install and test this version of the plugin. The functionality is still somewhat different to the 0.12 version as the older trac does not have any support for caching (more specifically, it is missing the @caching decorator!)

I ran some basic tests myself and my feeling is that it depends upon how you are using the XMLRPC plugin as to whether this plugin will work correctly or not. For example, how should I 'resolve' a ticket with XMLRPM plugin (could you give me a script example - I could then test myself in future!)

Looking forward to seeing whether it works!

Just been doing some further testing and the validation of tickets will not work correctly as this is triggered in the ITicketManipulator interface which XMLRPM doesn't seem to be calling .....

:-(

sorry XMLRPC ...!

It does - but such handling requires 'action' to be passed in attributes. See source:/xmlrpcplugin/trunk/tracrpc/ticket.py​ -> def update(), currently line 180 (or rather the else from line 216).

BTW, the RPC plugin also has functional tests, so you can see how the calls are made. For tickets, see source:/xmlrpcplugin/trunk/tracrpc/tests/ticket.py​

Just tested the new version, it works well with XMLRPC, no more errors, so I think this ticket can be closed.

For resolve a ticket with XMLRPC, here is the example:

import xmlrpclib 
 
server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://user:pass@localhost:8080/trunk/login/xmlrpc")
ticket = server.ticket.get(1)
server.ticket.update(1, 'My comment', {
    'action': 'resolve',
    'action_resolve_resolve_resolution': 'fixed',
    '_ts':ticket[3]['_ts']
  },
  True))

Thanks!
