Plugin Information

Plugin ID bugzilla
Latest Release 1.4.1
Latest Release Date Mar 25, 2012
Sources Github
Support Eclipse Hudson Forum
Issue Tracking Eclipse Bugzilla

This plugin integrates Bugzilla into Hudson. It hyperlinks bug numbers that appear in changeset descriptions to the bugzilla bug detail page. It can also, optionally, add a tooltip to each linked bug, showing the bug 'summary' text.

Hudson needs to know the URL to your bugzilla server. In addition, you can specify a username and password to the bugzilla server. If login is required to see bug detail, then the username and password are necessary for the tooltip feature. Note that the password is stored in plaintext within Hudson's configuration files. Here is an example configuration page, with the bugzilla project's own bugzilla server:

Once the plugin is configured, all numbers are hyperlinked and get tooltips. Since there is no convention to distinguish bugzilla bug numbers, all integers get hyperlinked. Here is a nonsensical example of a changeset on Hudson's SVN server, linked with the mandriva Bugzilla database, with the mouse cursor over bug 1659. Note that the revisions are hyperlinked in addition to Issue 1659:

    I enter the base URL for my system without the trailing slash, but always get the following error in my log when using the latest 1.2 plugin. The same URL works fine in the browser.

    WARNING: XmlRpcException starting bugzilla session: Failed to parse servers response: White spaces are required between publicId and systemId.

    I am getting the same error described before, and I can't replace the current path "http://bugzilla" as example by normal way, so I changed directly in global.jelly file in plugins\bugzilla\WEB-INF\classes\hudson\plugins\bugzilla\BugzillaProjectProperty

     What should I do to have this working as expected without this error?

     Thanks

    The answer was easy, turns out my Bugzilla install didn't have XMLRPC configured. You need to install the optional module using:
    $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install "SOAP::Lite"'
    $ ./checksetup.pl

    Using a regex with a look-behind solves that nasty problem where it will hyperlink ALL decimal numbers quite nicely.

    Example:

    (?<=[([Bb]ug)([Ii]ssue)(SCR)(scr)]:?\s?#?)\d+

    The above regex matches ONLY the numbers in strings like the following:

    Bug #12345
Issue: 12345
SCR 12345
Bug 12345
bug 12345
bug #12345
scr 12345
scr12345
scr 123456

    The regex does NOT match just any number. The number must be preceded by something like "bug", "issue" or "SCR".

    While there is no convention for what a bugzilla bug should be called, the regex above takes care of most of the ones we use at our shop. I am sure you could get even fancier with it, but this seems to work for now. I suggest something like the above be the default instead of matching all decimal numbers as the current default regex does.

      Using lookbehind is a brilliant idea to avoid linking all decimal numbers. Starting with Douglas's regex, I've created the following:

      (?<=[Bb]ug [\d, ]{0,64})(\d+)

      It will match and link multiple bug IDs. Examples:

      • Bug 12
      • Bug 12,30
      • Bug 12 30 54
      • Bug 12, 30, 54, 81

      Due to the limitations of lookbehind, you can't use + or * in the lookbehind, which is why I've resorted to the curly braces. I welcome any improvements.

    I'm trying to set this up to work with a SSL required Bugzilla, but get this complaint from the plugin, "Error contacting bugzilla XMLRPC at this URL" and no traffic is shown by tcpdump on the remote server. If I change the https:// to http:// then tcpdump shows traffic, but of course the plugin fails. Is there something special I need to do or is SSL unsupported? I see the sample shown uses SSL (https://qa.mandriva.com//show_bug.cgi?id=1659) so seems like it should be supported.

    Hi,

    We are users of Fogbugz and a small change in the plugin will enable its use: instead of using a fixed string to access the case (now /show_bug.cgi?id=) set this string as a parameter of the plugin. In particular default.asp?. This will expand to: http://myfogbugz/default.asp?CASE_NUMBER instead of http://myfogbugz/default.asp?/show_bug.cgi?id=7449 (when I set the base URL to http://myfogbugz/default.asp?)

    Thanks,

    David
