Summary0002779: Programming interface to enter bugs...
Description

I'm not sure how to implement this but, it would be really nice if a system in the field had the ability to enter a bug (via url-encoding) similar to what I see uSoft doing in explorer.

For example, if an assert is triggered, my application could open a dialog with the user asking if they want to submit a bug. They enter some information (possibly just hitting enter) and the bug is entered via something like this:

http:\bugtracker.comadd_remote_bug.php?project=foo&cat=1&rep=2&sev=3&sum="Assert failure line 123"&desc="user 123"&ver=1.23

I suspect that this project might have many bugs that are repeats but the idea is pretty straight forward.

TagsNo tags attached.

This can basically be done now by submitting a request to bug_report.php with appropriate parameters. The only thing missing is that you have to login first. I have plans to fix this soon, so that you are automatically logged in as the anonymous user unless you login yourself.

Is there something else you need to make this possible?

If we end up implementing this, then we should have it as a new page. The new page, should search the database to see if the bug was already added. If it is found, a bugnote can be addded indicating the fact that the bug was reported again (or just ignored based on an option).

To do that we should:

  1. Only put bug information in the subject / description.
  2. User information (if any) should go into a bugnote. We can also put the information of the first user to report the bug in the additional information field.

if you want to do it from Perl, you can download a perl module from the link below and do so. it checks the bug summary to decide if a new case should be opened or just add a bugnote to an existing case. it only sends out email if a new case is created.

Hello,

This is something that the mantisconnect API that victor mentions would allow you to do.

Resolving this issue

Thanks
