Question

Did not find any similar question or possibility to do that. I know this feature from another mercurial hosting service.

It would be very nice to be able to change the status of a case/bug by commit message.

For Example: I would like to add the following to the commit message:

#solve case 123 : blabla

to automatically change the status of case 123 to resolved

would this be possible?

Thanks

Such functionality is not currently provided by FogBugz or Kiln out-of-the-box.

However, via FogBugz' Plugin API and Kiln's Web Hooks you could create something that does:

1. Create a FogBugz plugin that can process commit messages and modify case statuses depending on what the commit message says (i.e., extract the case id and command from the commit message, and then perform the appropriate action on the case in FogBugz)
2. Configure a Web Hook in Kiln to make requests to this Plugin after each commit

The FogBugz Plugin could leverage the IPluginRawPageDisplay interface to create the endpoint that the Kiln Web Hook would send post-commit events to.
