A small set of command-line tools for those things in JIRA that we do several times a day.

With jissue, you can do the following:

jissue create MYPROJECT "THIS IS A TICKET"

This prints out the ticket information, and with that you can do:

jissue comment <TICKET> "this is my comment"

If you work with JIRA alot, its annoying to type in the project/issue key all the sime Starting from version 0.1, jissue ships with jish, which is a shell wrapper, similar to virtualenv. jish sets up the following environment variables: JISSUE_PROJECT, JISSUE_VERSION, JISSUE_COMPONENT, JISSUE_ISSUE, which jissue treats as defaults. You can use this variables to set up your zsh prompt. Here's a simple demonstration to show when this is useful:

jish project MYPROJECT # by default, it uses the upcoming unreleased version, and 'unknown component'
jish create task "this is a test\nthis is the description"
jissue commit --file=file-a --file=file-b "this message will be appended to the ticket numeber"
jissue comment "you can also just comment on the ticket without mentioning it explicitly"
jissue resolve  # this will deactivate

Install the package

easy_install -U infi.jira_cli

Add the following shell command to your zsh/bash setup:

jish () {
    eval $(POSIXLY_CORRECT= <full-path-to-jish> "$@")
}

Set-up your JIRA information

jissue config set jira.your.domain your-username your-password

The configuration pathname defaults to ~/.jissue. You can override it with the INFI_JIRA_CLI_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

Run the following:

easy_install -U infi.projector
projector devenv build

Before running the tests, you'll need set the jira configuration and pass some environment variables to nose:

TEST_PROJECT= bin/nosetests
