How to get a Work Items Link in a custom preconditon?


Jorge Valdeiglesias (541823) | asked Sep 02 '14, 12:09 p.m.
I'm developing a custom precondition that checks if the work item has certain links (live resolves) before resolving it.

I've set the development enviroment and did the workshop but I can't find a way to get the links for a work item and check the precondition.

Anyone knows how to do it?

here is the source of an advisor I wrote to check for a depends on link, and prevent the workitem resolving if the workitem depended on is not resolved.

Thanks for the help!


I've end up using this: 

List references = saveParameter.getNewReferences().getReferences(WorkItemEndPoints.RESOLVES_WORK_ITEM);

Worked like a charm. Now I will try to make the link type configurable.

 Hi Jorge,
have a look at 

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/161758/how-to-retrieve-the-changesets-associated-to-a-workitem-via-java-api

where Olivier explained how to receive Changesets associated with a Work Item.

If you run through the Workshop your development environment should be set up correctly. In your Eclipse do a "Java Search" and search for "WorkItemLinkTypes" (Types,References,..,Workspace).

With both information you should be able to solve your problem.

Have fun programming RTC extensions!
