Question

Are there generic integration instruction for other source code control systems?

Answer 1

If your source control system is not listed elsewhere on this stie, you can still integrate it with FogBugz. There are two aspects to source control integration:

1. Getting your source control system to transmit changes to FogBugz
2. Getting FogBugz to provide links to a URL that shows diffs and history logs from your source control system

Getting your source control system to transmit changes to FogBugz

You need to install a "trigger" script in your source control system to notify FogBugz whenever a check-in occurs that is related to a particular bug.

The way these scripts work is they send the check-in information via HTTP to a FogBugz ASP page named cvsSubmit.asp, using a URL like:

http://your.fogbugz.server/cvsSubmit.asp?ixBug=bugID&sFile=file&sPrev=x&sNew=y&ixRepository=RepositoryID

Where:

• bugID is the FogBugz bug number
• file is the source file that is being checked in
• x is the previous revision number
• y is the new revision number
• RepostioryID is the ID of the repository you create in FogBugz. You can get this value from the New Repository dialog (see below).

Alternately, you could write a script that notifies FogBugz by using a data access library such as ODBC or OLEDB to insert a new record directly in the table named CVS containing the above four values. You can view your FogBugz database schema at http://your.fogbugz.server/?pg=pgSchema

Getting FogBugz to Provide Hyperlinks to Your Source Control Viewer

Log into FogBugz as an administrator and go to Admin | Source Control. Click Create New Repository. In the resulting dialog, select Other (custom) as the type and give the repository a display name. Click Next.

Under Diff URL, enter the URL of your source control system diff viewer.

In this URL, ^FILE will be replaced with the file name, ^R1 will be replaced with the old version number, and ^R2 will be replaced with the new version number.

Under Log URL, enter the URL of your source control system history viewer.

In this URL, ^FILE will be replaced with a file name for which FogBugz wants to display the history.
