Remote Ticket Plugin

Description

This plugin allows you to link tickets in one Trac instance to tickets in other Trac instances. Links and their behaviour are configurable, for example parents/children, blockers/blockedby.

The plugin builds on and requires the ticket-links branch of Trac. Currently this means you must be running the remote-ticket branch of Trac from ​https://bitbucket.org/moreati/trac-ticketlinks/src/02ddb32fcdaa. XmlRpcPlugin is also required to perform remote fetching of ticket details.

Installation

General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the TracPlugins page.

Example

To configure ticket-links for a relationship in which:

• Any ticket may depend on and be dependant on many tickets.
• A ticket may not be closed until all tickets it depends on are closed.

[ticket-links]
dependency = dependson,dependant
dependency.validator = no_cycle
dependant.label = Dependant
dependson.label = Depends on
dependson.blocks = true

To confgiure a relationship in which :

• A ticket may have many child tickets, and at most one parent ticket.
• A new child ticket will have it's summary and description pre-populated from its parent.
• A parent ticket may not be closed until all child tickets are closed.

[ticket-links]
parentchild = parent,children
parentchild.validator = parent_child
children.blocks = true
children.label = Child
children.copy_fields = summary, description
parent.label = Parent

To configure a relationship in which:

• A ticket may refer to another ticket and there is no reciprocal link.
• A ticket may be closed regardless of the link.

[ticket-links]
reference = refersto
refersto.label = Refers to

Many different relationships may be configured at once, relationship names must each be unique.

To enable the remote tickets plugin, add to your trac.ini file:

[components]
tracremoteticket.* = enabled

To configure remote Trac instances create a ​trac:InterTrac reference and add remote_ticket = true to your trac.ini file:

[intertrac]
example.remote_ticket = true
example.title = Bravo
example.url = http://trac.example.org/

Install XmlRpcPlugin and grant XML_RPC to anonymous.

Configure the an ​trac:InterTrac reference, the same ticket-links relationships and the same XmlRpcPlugin grant in the remote Trac instance.
