generating bugzilla simple bug summary text report
I installed bugzilla on our nework to track development in my office. It’s wonderful.
I figured it was pretty easy for no techs to use, if they want to make notes, report, etc.
But the reality is most people in the office will not be handling it, it’s overkill.
I needed to be able to summarize the bugs, the bug history.
I needed to generate a simple outline/ text.. that says something like..
bug 1: title
description
notesbug 2: title
description
notes
That kind of thing.
Because long text format (where you show whole bug detail history) is overkill for these people.
I needed a text summary of bugzilla, that I could print out and put on my boss’ desk every now and then.
I thought, there must be some script already out there to be able to get an array of structs/hashes for each bug.. so you can iterate and print … or whatever.
After discussion on perlmonks.. I realized .. if so.. then it’s not distributed. Probably some people must have scripts doing this.. But .. Seriously.. I don’t ever want someobody else to solve this freaking problem if I already have. And I don’t ever want to solve it again!!! THAT’S WHY WE DISTRIBUTE.
So.. I made a proper distro and uploaded to cpan.
It’s called bugzillareport.
Some example output:
================================================================================ AP links show wrong file counts (DMS WUI) Status: RESOLVED Bug ID: 11 "This past week there were 2 cases where the information in the hearders did not match what was in the folders."... WJA, shows 11 files listed as Invoices Pending Payment, but going to place shows 11 and 2 APIE files. The various screens in the dms ap process were designed to be for use inhouse. The users were supposed to be able to approve, and disapprove invoices. The managers were to merge an approved invoice with a scanned check. We did not design view screens specifically for users in these various steps of the ap process. These various screens have to be designed. This ================================================================================ Need additional ap process view screens for users (DMS WUI) Status: RESOLVED Bug ID: 16 The screens needed are 1) invoices pending approval API 2) invoices pending payment APIA APIE 3) invoices disapproved APD 4) invoices and checks pending filing 5) vendor history New screens have been made, new logic for navigation bar for ap has been made and deployed.
