Mylyn issues with respect to JBoss jira [message #61704] Wed, 12 November 2008 11:30 Go to next message

Originally posted by: max.andersen.redhat.com

Hi,

It's been a while since I tried Mylyn so I wanted to put these questions
here before infecting bugzilla with them ;)

I'm trying out Mylyn's jira integration and got a few questions/issues.

1) When adding a Jira Apache and Codehaus is in the dropdown - how do we
get JBoss in there ? Which extension point should I implement (if any ;)

2) First time I setup to connect with JBoss it takes a *long* time (>1
minute) before it gets ready and show me the list of projects - what is
Mylyn doing here ? It must be more than just getting the list...maybe the
progress monitor be a bit more informative so I know *something* is
happening.

3) I would suggest you add a filter field for the project selection; that
would be usefull for jira's with alot of projects like jboss

4) Duplicate Detection - this is a very interesting feature ;)
If I want an alternative which extension points should I add ?

5) Duplicate Detection - Detector: Stack trace.
I tried this against JBoss jira but got an error dialog saying:
Result code 403: You are not allowed to get a result set of more than
100 results. Current search returns 2470 results

Looking at the full error message which includes the url it seems it is
set to 5000 (why that high of a number ? When is 5000 search
results relevant from jira ?).

I changed the limit to 100 and it started working. Maybe the ui should
suggest this in case of errors ?

Now when it is running it looks like it is searching across *all* of
JBoss org jira instead of limiting to that single project I
was asked to select in step #2. Why is that ?

Alot of these issues also don't seem to contain any references to the
exeption I pasted in - the jira search seem to be extremely
broad and not required to include the exception text.

Otherwise it looks like the jira adapter have greatly improved since the
last time I used it :)

Take a look at the plugin.xml of the org.eclipse.mylyn.jira.ui plug-in for
contributing templates:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.core.templates">
<repository
addAutomatically="false"
anonymous="false"
repositoryKind="jira"
label="Codehaus"
urlRepository="http://jira.codehaus.org/"/>
</extension>

Mylyn downloads the entire repository configuration (Projects, Components,
Versions, etc.). This can require a significant number of SOAP calls
depending on the number of projects in our repository. Which dialog was
missing the project indication?

Have you tried typing the project name while the list has the focus? On GTK
the selection jumps to the first project that matches what I type.

Take a look at StackTraceDuplicateDetector duplicate detector. It's fairly
easy to contribute your own:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.duplicateDetectors">
<detector
class=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.search.StackTraceDuplica teDetector "
name="Stack Trace">
</detector>
</extension>

Yes, there seems to be a bug in the way the query is setup:

249054: duplicate detection returns too many matches

210169: handle error when the number of search result is exceeded on the
server

I believe the broad search scope is intentional since stack traces are very
specific and the chance for returning false positives is low.

The matching doesn't appear to work properly (bug 249054).

Great to hear that!

Thanks for the follow up ;) I'll look into those extension points and bug
references.

Another "annoying" thing I discovered yesterday is that when Mylyn adds
the mylyn-context to a jira it does it by adding another context with the
same name
instead of either removing the old one or provide a way to name this
context uniquely.

Any way out of that or do I just have to manually go and delete the old
context before uploading again ?

You mean progress indication ?

Well there was progress indication, but it just said something like:

"Repository xyz in progress..." and then a never ending progress bar.

Maybe have the progress split up in tasks so you can see the actual %
progress
and/or update the text to say "Requesting project list..." -> "Requesting
components from Project X" -> "Requesting versions from Project X" etc.

Just so it doesn't look frozen ;)

Yes, but you have to type fast and on JBoss.org alot of the projects start
with JBoss <space> <some name> and it would be much better to just type in
<some name> and the list would be filtered based on that.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks ;)

At the moment the connector does not support deleting attachments so you
need to manually delete old contexts from the web inteface.

Yes, that's a good idea. Please file an enhancement request for that.

any bugid for this ? at least allowing for a name with i.e. timestamp
would help since
jira ui does not handle similar named atachments well.
