Question

I want a plug-in to detect when a case is created that falls under a certain custom category. When the case is created, I want to be able to execute some code instantly. How would I go about doing this? I am just starting with FogBugz and can think of potentially referencing the InterfaceEvents assembly or creating a custom workflow, but nothing has seemed right. Any solution? Thanks

Edit: I am trying to implement the IPlugInBugCommit interface, but am getting errors every time I try to build the project:

Error   1   'FogCreek.FogBugz.CBug' is inaccessible due to its protection level *************\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\HelloWorld\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.cs
Error   4   Inconsistent accessibility: parameter type 'FogCreek.FogBugz.CBug' is less accessible than method 'FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Interfaces.HelloWorld.BugCommitAfter(FogCreek.FogBugz.CBug, FogCreek.FogBugz.BugAction, FogCreek.FogBugz.CBugEvent, bool)'  C:\Users\mxb\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\HelloWorld\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.cs  33  21  HelloWorld

Here is my code:

/* FogBugz namespaces-- make sure you add the neccesary assembly references to

* the following DLL files contained in C:\Program Files\FogBugz\Website\bin\ * FogBugz.dll, FogCreek.Plugins.dll, FogCreek.Plugins.InterfaceEvents.dll */

using FogCreek.FogBugz;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.UI;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Api;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Interfaces;

    namespace FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Interfaces
{
    /* Class Declaration: Inherit from Plugin, implement interfaces
     * IPluginPageDisplay, IPluginExtrasMenu, and IPluginCommit */
    public class HelloWorld : Plugin, IPluginPageDisplay, IPluginExtrasMenu, IPluginBugCommit
    {
        //CODE 1265 GO AND LOG ONTO APPDEV COMPUTER
        /* Constructor: We'll just initialize the inherited Plugin class, which 
         * takes the passed instance of CPluginApi and sets its "api" member variable. */
        public string hello;
        public HelloWorld(CPluginApi api)
            : base(api)
        {
            hello = "THIS IS A BIG TEST";
        }
    public string PageDisplay()
    {
        return "<h1>Hello, world!</h1><p>"+hello+"</p>";
    }
    #region IPluginBugCommit Members
    public void BugCommitAfter(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, CBugEvent bugevent, bool fPublic)
    {
        hello = "A bug was created.";
    }
    public void BugCommitBefore(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, CBugEvent bugevent, bool fPublic)
    {
    }
    public void BugCommitRollback(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, bool fPublic)
    {
    }
    #endregion

    public PermissionLevel PageVisibility()
    {
        return PermissionLevel.Normal;
    }

    public CNavMenuLink[] ExtrasMenuLinks()
    {
        return new CNavMenuLink[] { new CNavMenuLink("Say Hello", api.Url.PluginPageUrl()) };
    }

}

}

Edit2: Everything I have looked at says to add a reference to FogCreek.Plugins.InterfaceEvents.dll, but our local installation of fogbugz has no such file. Is this the reason?

Answer 1

I think you were having trouble because the wrong CBug class was being referenced. Try this:

using System;
using FogCreek.FogBugz;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Api;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Entity;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.Plugins.Interfaces;
using FogCreek.FogBugz.UI;

namespace YourNamespace
{
    public class HelloWorld : Plugin, IPluginPageDisplay, IPluginBugCommit
    {
        public HelloWorld(CPluginApi api)
            : base(api) { }

        private int GetCommitCount()
        {
            int cCommits = 0;
            return Int32.TryParse(api.Database.GetKeyValue("cCommits"), out cCommits) ? cCommits : 0;
        }

        private void IncrementCommitCount()
        {
            int cCommits = GetCommitCount();
            api.Database.SetKeyValue("cCommits", (cCommits + 1).ToString());
        }

        public string PageDisplay()
        {
            return string.Format("Commits: {0}", GetCommitCount());
        }

        #region IPluginBugCommit Members
        public void BugCommitAfter(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, CBugEvent bugevent, bool fPublic)
        {
            IncrementCommitCount();
        }

        public void BugCommitBefore(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, CBugEvent bugevent, bool fPublic){}
        public void BugCommitRollback(CBug bug, BugAction nBugAction, bool fPublic){}
        #endregion

        public PermissionLevel PageVisibility()
        {
            return PermissionLevel.Normal;
        }
    }
}
