fogbugz-orm - FogBugz ORM wrapper around the FogBugz XML API
This is a python interface to the FogBugz XML API FogBugz (http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/) issue tracker. It wraps the FogBugzPy python interface, which provides non-typed python binding via BeautifulSoup. As well as type conversion, this ORM interface provides direct JSON serialization of the FogBugz data using the jsontree module.
Warning
It is HIGHLY recommended that you use an SSL connection to the FogBugz server for secure authentication.

Quick Start
Comparing FogBugzPy to FogBugz-ORM
Example code from FogBugzPy documentation:
resp = fb.search(cols="ixBug,sTitle")
for case in resp.cases.findAll('case'):
print "%s: %s" % (case.ixbug.string,
case.stitle.string.encode('UTF-8'))
Equivalent FogBugz-ORM code:
cases = fb.search(cols="ixBug,sTitle")
for case in cases:
print "%d: %s" % (case.ixBug, case.sTitle)
- You can access the array of cases directly as a list.
- The column names are referred to in their proper mixed case matching the API
as they must be for the cols argument;
ixBug
,sTitle
. - The data is extracted and properly converted;
ixBug
is an integer, andsTitle
is a UTF-8 converted string.
Get all the cases from the 'To Be Closed' filter and close them.
import fborm
### login form 1
fbo = fborm.FogBugzORM('https://hostname/', secret_token)
### Find the 'To Be Closed' filter
filters = fbo.listFilters()
for filt in filters:
if filt.sName == 'To Be Closed':
break
### Set it as the current filter
fbo.setCurrentFilter(filt)
### Get all cases in that filter
cases = fbo.search()
### Make sure they are closed
for case in cases:
if not case.fOpen:
continue
if 'Active' in case.sStatus:
fbo.resolve(ixBug=case.ixBug)
fbo.close(ixBug=case.ixBug)
Create a new case

### if you are using the CustomFields plugin
custom_field_names = fbo.listCustomFieldNames()
CustomFields Plugin Data
The CustomFields plugin allows you to add yor own elements to cases in
FogBugz. These elements are added to the FogBugz XML API with a prefix
and a unique magic string suffix. Also, any punctuation is transformed,
so you will need to look up what your custom field is with
:py:meth:`fborm.FogBugzORM.listCustomFieldNames`. Once you know that,
you can simplify your code by setting a namemap
for the returned data.
This means that if you have multiple servers with the same CustomFields,
they will have different names in the API. Having a per-server namemap
greatly simplifies your code.

ixBug = fborm.fbint,
