NAME

App::TimeTracker::Command::Jira - App::TimeTracker Jira plugin

VERSION

version 0.2

DESCRIPTION

This plugin integrates into Atlassian Jira https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira.

It can set the description and tags of the current task based on data coming from Jira, set the owner of the ticket and update the worklog. If you also use the Git plugin, this plugin will generate branch names based on Jira ticket information.

CONFIGURATION

CHANGES TO DEFAULT COMMANDS

start, continue

--jira

    ~/perl/Your-Project$ tracker start --jira ABC-1

If --jira is set to a valid ticket identifier:

• set or append the ticket subject in the task description ("Adding more cruft")

• add the ticket number to the tasks tags ("ABC-1")

• if Git is also used, determine a save branch name from the ticket identifier and subject, and change into this branch ("ABC-1_adding_more_cruft")

• set the owner of the ticket in Jira (given set_assignee_to is set in config)

• updates the status of the ticket in Jira (given set_status/start/transition is set in config)

stop

If <log_time_spent> is set in config, adds and entry to the worklog of the Jira ticket. If <set_status/stop/transition> is set in config and the current Jira ticket state is <set_status/start/target_state>, updates the status of the ticket

CAVEATS

Note that for the setting of assignees at workflow transitions like "Start Progress" to work, the workflow transition needs to have a (workflow) "Screen" assigned where the field "Assignee" is part of. Otherwise you will get a HTTP 400 response with an error like:

    Field 'assignee' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown
