Any experience or suggestions on this?

We are a perforce shop, and are strongly considering adding Crucible (and probably fisheye) to the mix. Jira is too ugly to consider, though, so we will stick with fogbugz.

Any suggestions? (Write an FB7 plugin,, or?)

We've been using Crucible/Fisheye with Fogbugz nicely now for a while. We are also Perforce users, and the systems together are really good. (For sake of brevity, whenever I mention Crucible, assume I mean Fisheye too).

There's nothing too much to it really. In Crucible repository settings we set up a couple of "Linkers" that pattern match a Perforce checkin comment like "BugzID:1234" to turn it into the full Fogbugz URL. So within Crucible, you can just quickly jump to the FB case number. I use the same set of patterns as the FB/Perforce integration, so users don't have to do anything different.

We also have a couple of patterns that match up "changelist 1234" with the Crucible entry for that changelist, which makes hopping around submissions quite easy.

Beyond that we don't do anything else for integration, other than maybe reference Crucible info via URL from a FB case. There's probably a lot more we could do, and maybe I need to look at some docs for Kiln to find out what would be useful to us to try and replicate.

PS: Maybe this is the wrong place to say it :), but the support from the Crucible guys is truly excellent.

Have you considered using kiln? It already tightly integrates with FogBugz.

Kiln was built entirely as a FogBugz plugin, so if you'd like to accomplish the same sorts of goals as Kiln with another version control system, the plugin architecture is open and waiting.

I would love to consider kiln, but kiln seems to: - lack perforce support - require that we import from perforce into the kiln VCS, which "ain't gonna happen" (we LOVE perforce) – sam jones Oct 19 2009 at 18:32

For clarification, the kiln VCS is actually Mercurial. – Michael Pryor Oct 19 2009 at 20:36

The short answer is no, we don't have any experience with Crucible, but would love to hear what your experiences are.... and thanks for the Jira dig.
