Bugzilla import wizard via script or java?
I'm doing the Bugzilla importing from the File -> Import wizard and things work okay. However, it goes quite slowly because I must do them one bug at a time, since they are not sequential bug numbers nor do they have just a single release value.
Is there a script or java API that I can pass all the relevant data (for example, within Java, I can invoke the program via batch passing in the Bugzilla number, my username/pw, the attribute mapping.xml, etc). Thanks, Susan |

Susan, have you tried to Plug-In-Spy (SHIFT-ALT-F1) the import wizard in Eclipse, that should give you an idea of the API it uses.
Comments I hadn't seen that, but it does say the active wizard class is BugzillaImportWizard. Is there a way to get a copy of the source for that class? I see the plugin but I suspect the answer is not to hack it open. I have never really been able to get the SDK to show up properly (or well) in my eclipse IDE.

Susan, follow the extensions workshop Lab 1 install the SDK and then import the source from the Target. If you do this step, you see the source for BugzillaImportWizard and can search for references. You will still not see all sources, but the most important you will. If you don't do that it is just too hard to try developing against the SDK.

It is also possible to zip many work item representations into a single zip file. I've done this with zips of several to thousands of work items.
For example here's a listing of part of one such zip: 3367 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/27544.xml 0 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/27544/ 22531 09-23-2011 02:00 Defects/27544/BUG_27544_1-BANNER.gif 13478 09-23-2011 02:10 Defects/27544/BUG_27544_2-USER SPECIFIED.gif 1492 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/27589.xml 0 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/27589/ 21346 09-29-2011 03:01 Defects/27589/BUG_27589_Concatenation.jpg 2179 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/27636.xml 3902 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/300501.xml 7092 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/404434.xml 0 07-09-2012 14:45 Defects/404434/ 357753 03-07-2007 15:40 Defects/404434/BUG_404434_BUG_404434_vulnanalysisSPCon.zip The .xml files just under Defects will be imported as work items while directories named for the same 'ID' represent attachments. There is a (or was) a BugzillaCommandLineClass which I used to leverage (in the v2 days) to automate work item creation upon some external event. Kevin |
