NAME

WebService::ReviewBoard - Perl library to talk to a review board installation thru web services.

VERSION

This document describes WebService::ReviewBoard version 0.0.3

SYNOPSIS

  use WebService::ReviewBoard;

  # pass in the name of the reviewboard url to the constructor
  my $rb = WebService::ReviewBoard->new( 'http://demo.review-board.org/' );
  $rb->login( 'username', 'password' );

  # create_review returns a WebService::ReviewBoard::Review object 
  my $review = $rb->create_review();

DESCRIPTION

This is an alpha release of WebService::ReviewBoard. The interface may change at any time and there are many parts of the API that are not implemented. You've been warned!

Patches welcome!

INTERFACE

get_review_board_url
login
get_ua

Returns an LWP::UserAgent object. You can override this method in a subclass if you need to use a different LWP::UserAgent.

api_post

Do the HTTP POST to the reviewboard API.

api_get

Same as api_post, but do it with an HTTP GET

my $json = $rb->api_call( $ua, $path, $method, @options )

api_post and api_get use this internally

DIAGNOSTICS

"Unknown method %s. Valid methods are GET or POST"
"you must pass WebService::ReviewBoard->new a username"
"you must pass WebService::ReviewBoard->new a password"
"api_post needs an LWP::UserAgent"
"No url path to api_post"
"Error fetching %s: %s"
"you must call %s as a method"
"get_review_board_url(): url you passed to new() ($url) looks invalid"
"Need a field name at (eval 38) line 1"

I'm not sure where this error is coming from, but it seems to be when you fail to pass a repository path or id to create_review method.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

None.
