How does the commit message get filled in automatically? [message #56118]

Fri, 15 August 2008 13:12

Eclipse User

I'm using mylyn 3.0.1, eclipse 3.4, with bugzilla/CVS.

I have activated a bug and activated a few files with that bug, they
show up correctly in the project explorer. But when I go to commit
them, no commit message is present.

The Tasks -> Team Automatically create and manage with task content is on.

And in Team -> CVS -> Sync, I specify:
Allow models to participate...
Automatically enable change set grouping in CVS sync (I tried this
both ways)

Thanks,

Francis

Have you tried using the synchronize view? If you create a synchronization
for your CVS projects your outgoing changes should be grouped by change
sets. Also make sure you have a commit comment template set under Tasks >
Team, e.g. "${task.status} - ${connector.task.prefix} ${task.key}:
${task.description}".

If you select commit from the synchronize view the commit comment should be
automatically filled in.

If that does not work, please install the latest build from the weekly
update site and file a bug if the problem persists:

Thanks.

Yes, I use the synchronize view, but the change sets don't appear
automatically. I have to create the change set and then manually put in
the bug information for them.

There must be something I'm missing about how to get the change sets
automatically created from my bug report. Can you help with that?

Can you check if Mylyn Tasks UI and Mylyn Team UI are enabled under General
> Startup and Shutdown in the Eclipse preferences? The team startup is
required to register Mylyn's change set management.

Yes, they are both enabled, I did not have to enable them.

Just to make sure: Do you have the presentation in the Synchronize View set
to "Change Sets" (the default is "All Models")? Are there any errors in the
error log?

If you haven't done so already I would recommend to update to the latest
Mylyn 3.0.2 weekly build which has some improvements for the change set
management.

Francis, this FAQ entry summaries trouble shooting steps to get change sets
working:

Thank you Steffen and sorry to waste your time. I did not have the
Eclipse IDE connector installed. Once I installed that everything
worked amazingly well.
